    hahaha no I double checked that - it was all correct :D I thought it might be the pic on the postcard because its a couple in bed - the man reading a book called 101 positions and the woman reading a book called 101 escape moves.

    I dont look at the pics, I just write them out :embarasse

    Try writing your address at a bit of an angle. When they go through the machine, sometimes it'll pick up your address instead of the competition one.
