I have had a spate of unfranked stamps lately, as DH has been getting parcels daily for nearly all of February. So I have been peeling them off and sticking them back on to things I need to send.
In case you don't hear from me again and I have been done for interfering with the mail, or defrauding the crown or something.4/10/25Three Years Mortgage Free Yay!
