Thanks I was thinking of pulling the labels off again, but if it does not matter I will leave them on.
Next week - I have 2 cubes to go out (Oh joy) and 3 other items to go out on the same day (Before Midday, After Midday and Before Last Collection). I think I might go at lunchtime and post them at 1159, 1201 and 1202 :whistle:
Oh and to answer millie and anamenottaken - I've always written the address directly onto the cube/jiffy in black felt tip. Never thought they actually wanted it on a label and I don't think I've ever received one with a hand-written label. I take the point about clarity and then there's a whole new subject of how readable hand-writing is... Do you actually write it in cursive or print in block capitals?
Proper addressing has the post town in block capitals and I print the rest - simple individual letters with initial capitals. (Postcode is capitals too, of course.)
I find it really awkward to print individual letters, so I'll use small capitals or careful cursive. On my own letters, I print directly onto the envelopes if I've word-processed a letter - but using an interesting font/colour to make it not look like a bill.
It seems so unfair as I miss the Christmas goodies and the Easter eggs before I an taken on again.
Do other people get rested when they go on holiday or is it just me?
Are your holidays towards the end of your 6 month stint, could that be why?
I've had the posting suspended for two weeks while I'm on holiday then restarted when I get back so it's not behind them.
I only have a Medium Brown envelope to be posted on that day which is stamped 1st Class.
So what is this for?
