Anyone else missed the regularity of the postman and businesses being open?

I am so happy that we are back to normal today...have missed the prospect of a WEM coming through or the positie coming to the door with an unexpected win...don't get me wrong I have never had an unexpected win and very few emails but the anticipation factor works for me.....also I love the IWIWIW board and seeing what people win and that's been very quiet the past week...so here's to loads of posts in the next few days an a return to normality x

    I love seeing my postman arrive;)

    Although chasing up some prizes yesterday and finding out that some prizes were sent out over a month ago, yet still haven't turned up probably explains why I don't see much of him anymore... :o

    I have been waiting with bated breath for the post to return to normal :D

    Of course all I received today was a bank statement.

  • I didn't want to wish the Christmas/new years holiday away, however I couldn't wait for the postman and delivery people to start working again. :D I was really hoping for a win today - alas, postman only delivered an advert for a retirement village (I am 31! :rotfl:)

    I have had not one single piece of post since before Christmas - not even a bank statement! I'm expecting delivery of a Wii, and was really hoping it would arrive by NYE, but no such luck, although at least three delivery trucks stopped outside (I live in a block of flats).

    The annoying thing is now I'm back at work, so I will miss any deliveries that do come, grr! Hoping I get home to at least a missed delivery card.
