oh hammy I'm fine but thanks :A

I'm hoping it won't be too confusing!
The Nans are using their first names so MIL is Nanny Sue and my mum was going to be Nanny Karen but she decided Nana Karen sounded better :cool: The Grandads all chose their names although MIL does keep calling FIL a mixture of Bumpi, Gamps and Gramps which I keep telling her is too confusing but they don't listen!
OH calls my mum Granny K though cos she hates being called Granny :rotfl:

I guess J will call them whatever he wants!

I just checked the post office website, it says any packets over 1000g can't go 2nd class, so how come some buyers are listing curtains that I just weighed at 1.6kg as 2nd class, I can't get postage lower than £6.50-£7. Is that too much? Headache.

if it's too heavy for 2nd class it goes Standard Parcel at £4.41

Ahh, so that accounts for lots of £5 postage listings. Thank-you lovely lady. :A

All done, will sell more stuff if this works out ok. The advanced sell was better when I wanted to list in 2 catagories thanks, but I found the quick sell easier.

Oooo, the local Vicar has written a 4 page piece in the community magazine about Baptism, he's headed one of the sections 'Will the Vicar say no' to which he answered 'we will never say no', errrrr, yes you did, to lots of us, since when did Vicars tell porkies? :eek:

SB, I refer to OH's parents as "Other Grandma and Grandad".. really must get out of that habit! I say it as in "No, not the G&G that you see all the time (and are actually bothered about you!) but the *other* ones" I think OH used to refer to his two Grandma's with their surnames tagged on, but I have a Grandma and a Nanna. ETA: Though come to think of it, I have "Grandad" (married to Grandma and who we saw all the time cos we live nearby) and "Grandad G" (married to Nanna but lived far away, and passed away when I was 5).

I need to sort out another name for my mum! They are both Granny at the moment but I was saying to K 'we're going to Grannys house' etc, got there and said 'heres Granny!' He started crying as he thought it we were going to see MIL!
Ooops, never told my mum obviously or she'd moan and want to come to my house more til she was favourite cos shes childish that way
The obvious choice would be Nana or Nannie but OH still has a Nana. Reckon 2 Nanas would be less confusing tho cos he only sees his Great Nanna once a month ish
