how much cash and by what method?
if you took it to the post office and got a receipt, you can claim the cost of 100 first class stamps back...so £41
if not, what in the world were you thinking man? also, you can claim the cost of 6 1st class stamps but i imagine £2.46 doesn't really cover
your loss...
i've been waiting nearly a month for a phone screen but it is coming from hong kong....allegedly

No, but you have my sympathy in a general sort of way.
I'm suffering rubbish collection delays...
we haven't seen a refuse collector truck round here for more than a month!

Yep - slooow here. Don't know why. Our postie has been working his backside off to get out to farms etc round here. I presume the delay is
further up the delivery chain somewhere.

Had a few delays (well quite a lot really) over the Xmas break but all back to normal now.

Yes he left me the same invite, which is what got me wondering and checking what was outstanding.

Last one I had was "If you haven't learned by now you never will" so I figured the lesson I need to learn is don't work but
that's another rant.
Apparently I have a credit card due. I wonder what will turn up first the card or the bill
