That is sneaky Pap!!! Cant believe that is allowed from DHL...

Its not happened to me but on a craft forum I used to visit its reported all the time. I must admit though some people used to buy £100's and thought they would get away with it. The best bit was they were only saving about £10/£20 on the uk price :rolleyes:

You may be lucky Spud and miss them. Half the time its pot luck but they are more alert around christmas. I have only had to pay once and it was only about £4. But then again they were only manufactured over there so there was nowhere else to buy them at all



Not always becky. Sometimes royal mail will send a purple card with your normal post. The worse is DHL and UPS... They will deliver your parcel and then send a letter to you up to three weeks later for the cost. You then cant dispute it or refuse the parcel :mad: Sneeky!

Ohhh £4 isnt bad. I wasnt sure how much to expect, that's why I lost my nerve

I guess for his main pressie, it isnt bad. He's such a good lad

Ahh I do it differently... Every night I do the ones that have been posted that day then I will jump to the 'last' pages before I sterted comping. Those are the one I do as an extra if I run out. Generally the 'new' ones give me 15 to enter so I only have to find another five. Once I have run out of mse ones I will start googling. Have you been doing the daily/weekly/monthly ones in the seperate board too? .

Fingers crossed for the both of us :j

Spud it depeands how much it goes over, I think I went over about $10 in the end (express postage) So it was £4 tax...

evening...

Chicken paprika in the slow cooker was... well cooked. chicken fell off the bones but the flavour was lacking heat and there's plenty left!!!

I must remember to get some sage leaves and a chilli for the butternut squash risotto tomorrow (and petrol otherwise Evie and I won't be going to waterbabies)!

Talking of customs charges... when I worked in x-ray, I needed to get a patient's scans from US and ordered them; supplied free of charge until customs read the docket and wanted £90 (back in 1993) because the blo0dy hospital in US had put a value on the films. I was real popular with my boss that week:D

well I figured if I started from the back Pap with the finish dates the soonest I would start to see results sooner and maybe spur me on. No haven't done any of the daily/monthly ones, will get there once Ive caught up lol

Did you have the right sort of paprika? You get sweet varieties as well as hot ones;)
