First class stamps to rise by 15p to £1.10p from Monday 3rd April.
From what I can understand these are marked as first class stamps and they can be used for a long time.

Good tip.

Stamps can cost more than even cards nowadays.

That's the final nail in the coffin for Christmas cards then.

And there is no guarantee that anything will get there on time or in one piece. Such a shame!

I very rarely send anything 1st class. As for Christmas cards…

I just send them all second class, and birthday cards a few days before the birthday.

Yet another reason to convince MrP to stop buying greeting cards that are 'large letter' . He posted one recently, second class cost £1.45, the card itself cost less.

I think second class stamps are increasing too? I will definitely buy a book before 3rd April.
