Yeah Angelcake, I have to agree on this one. I have a 9-5, 2 kids and the whole 9 yards. yet still can do the Post Office thang... Guess it must be a woman multi-tasking exclusive thing...

smartstamp by royal mail is a good way of pre paying larger item for parcel post then just drop them off at the sorting office. i know mine opens from 8 till 5.30 weekdays and its open sat mornings to

If you are posting a fair amount of stuff,the smartstamp method might be a good idea,i think it costs £4.99 a month and you print off your own postage labels,you could then take them to work with you,and ask if you can leave them for collection with their mail.

This company isn't that big either angelcake, but it helps that it's ours

But what I didn't realise was how ridiculous the postal charges are. Can't you sell small things that you can wrap up on our knee?

Daft question I suppose, because if you could you would wouldn't you?

Ah well thats ok then!

Even small things you can wrap on your knee can cost a lot!!

I have to take nearly a black bag full of parcels sometimes with my eye on the lil un and trying to listen to the PO person and aware of impatient people in queue! how do we do it!!
