Better Late Than Never

I've had to sell my soul to the Post Office today. Because I dug through the piles of things that have accumulated in the sewing pile this summer and organised. In the process I also got all the things I had postponed posting and got round to packaging them up. There was more than I thought. Way more!


This isn't all of it. I need some different sized envelopes. But I am getting there. And I suppose that is a good thing. I really, really need to learn the art of not procrastinating.

    Good grief, that's quite a pile of parcels!! How long before we can see the stitch tease (or whatever they're called!) blocks?

    Yay! I've been today too - only 4 parcels though. I think I should stop procrastinating too - may be next week. And if I put off doing my Tax Return much longer, I will be in serious shit!

    Ouch, that can't have been cheap! That said I posted my bee blocks to the US today and had to check 3 times when I was told it was half the price I usually pay...I'm still not convinced it was that much smaller!

    That's a fortune in postal fees. I hope most of it was to the UK

    If your post office is anything like mine, you need a good dose of patience and sustenance to step through the doors! I am sure the recipients will be happy to see things arrive!

    I don't know why but I have always suffered from post office block. I write letters and pack parcels and then stumble at the last hurdle of actually going and standing in line and posting them. Our current post office is run by a couple of weirdos so I am using that as my excuse these days - but I have always been the same.

    You must have felt so light and relieved when you popped all of those parcels into the post box!

    So thats where Miss Procrastination went when she left me.... She was not a good house guest... and I have got so much done since she moved out..
    I think I will be quiet about running a Post Office for 20 years.. (it was really small & in a village so there was always plenty of time for a chat..) Since a lot of the smaller ones have closed I don't like the new ones that are incorporated into another store..
    Those makes all look lovely there will be some very happy people out there...

    Gosh that's a lot of parcels. I think you could single handedly keep the postal service in business. Hope you didn't have to sell of the kidlets to pay for the postage!

    I need to go too and if you lived here, you would never go. The post offices here are not fun.
