    I know I cant link my blog here (It discusses postals,royal mail etc), but I wanted to pop up a reminder that the prices of stamps may be due to rise next month.

    Its been speculated in the media - I hope im wrong and things will stay the same, however I sent a message to Royal Mail on twitter asking if they had a press release on the new prices - they said they would let us know the updated prices as they are published.

    Its suggested that a book of second class stamps could cost approx £2.00 extra (Estimated prices are 55p a second class stamp, with first class up to 75p each!) :( I bought a few extra 2nd class books just incase.

    Thanks for the heads up - hopefully rises will not be too much :( since will make it too expensive for me to continue and some others no doubt. It is worth stocking up now just in case since stamps bought now will still be ok for second or first class post long long after the rise occurs. Sometimes some shops will sell stamps with a 10% discount - I am not sure if any are doing this at the present time? Some mention ebay for buying stamps the only problem with that is many of those stamps have been through the postal system and therefore illegal to use them again although I am sure some do so.

    If that's correct then I'm afraid I'll be stopping doing most of my postals. I'll limit them which is something I don't do at the moment.
    Shame :(
