    I think some one has pinched your mini eggs?
    I had a small box half opened yesterday, some one had been looking to see what was inside. They did not fancy a pull up nappy.

    THe brown envelopes are not the best quality.
    THe large brown are a bit of thin paper. THe med. brown I seal with selotape as they seem old stock and do not stick well.

    Sounds like it doesn't it! I was surprised the stamps were still there but they were well hidden in the large white envelope inside. Nothing else is missing luckily.

    I have a drawer full of the large white envelopes. Can anyone give me some ideas as to what to do with them? Gave loads away last year on freegle to someone for posting calendars but other then that I am stuck. Don't want to just put them into the paper recycling.

    Same here
    The White paper I have from bulking out sent to me I have tried using in the printer or colouring paper for visiting kids.

    The white labels, I use as memo notes to myself.
    Food labels for HM meals in freezer.
    THe printed name/address one I use when filling in a form.

    Stamps, I have many. Keep some in my purse at the ready.
    I am thinking of putting a book of 12 in with a birthday card and sending a home sewing gift.

    Has anyone else found that the big brown envelopes they use tear easily? :(
    I find that they are nearly always torn just getting them through my letter box - I was lucky that the postie knocked this week so I got the mini eggs safely.


    As a follow-up thought - this mangling on the way to me meant that this week I sent out a large brown which was folded in half before I ever saw it - so the recipient will mark it such and the wrong delivery route will get a mark down perhaps?
    I need to think of something new here...

    I had that with two items this week. When I clicked on the item to confirm I had prepared them they both came up saying this is no longer a smart item. Fortunately, I had not sealed them so could easily remove the smarts I had put in.

    The large envelopes I receive in my posting pack from TNS are always folded in half by them.
    Any I have received through the post also have the folded mark down the middle.


    The week before last my large envelope was plastic and this week it was of a stronger paper variety.
