You don't have to put "flat" either, since some of the mail comes with just the 2.
We can receive large envelopes and packages at our flat now. It costs, in American dollars, around $1.50 to mail a simple letter from here. The cost for a letter jumped from 90 pence to 97 pence this week. Postage is just way to high to try sending items. If anyone does decide to blow their week's paycheck, be sure to send items via regular mail because of the huge tax on something coming in through FedEx. A package can cost another $200 just to pick it up!
I don't think we'll be sending Christmas cards except through e-mail this year. We wanted to be sure you knew this in time, since December is eight months away. Letters seem to be taking around five to six days to arrive. Packages can be two weeks or more.
Glad you guys made it safe! Miss you already :-(
ReplyDeleteSummer told me that you guys sent an e-mail to everyone. I didn't recieve one, so I'm going to make sure you have my new address: courtniew@comcast.net
