We have something to pick up from local sorting office no idea what but the underpaid charge is £2.50

Me too monk I hear. Will have to go tomorrow now as I’m over with L’il Miss. Will we be joyful (whatever it is) or disappointed!

Good morning all,

I haven’t posted on this thread much of late, but hope you’re all alright.

Just having a quick coffee before going to the hairdressers.

I don’t expect you’re reading this mick, but if you are, please go and see your GP about your continued weight loss - it needs investigating.

Just read the post from Primrose on another thread and am so pleased to hear of her DH improvement. Good news indeed.

I will go back and read all your posts now.

Mostly when picking up packages with a surcharge it is a Christmas or Birthday card when the sender has used an out of date stamp, mostly last years left over Christmas stamp or a letter one instead of a large letter one.
It is mostly always a disappointment and from someone you seldom see and just exchange a yearly card.
I speak from experience.

Oh utbb 😱
I partly think I won’t bother … but curiosity will get the better of me! I’ll report back when I’ve been!

It might be a large unexpected cheque so you really must pick it up 😉😎

I had a surcharge of £7.00 to pay when it was my birthday in September. I forgot all about going to collect it. About 3 weeks later it was delivered. Turned out to be a scented candle sent by a friend.

I think there was no return address on the parcel, so they delivered it anyway smile

When I lived in Kent, the very local PO allowed you to examine the letter/parcel and decide whether to pay the surcharge. It was jolly nice of them…. And usually some flyer or a letter of no importance!

Ha! I wish uttb.
Himself always tells me I can’t be lucky in love AND money!

RosiesMaw, sorry to hear of your bereavement 💐

Harrigran, it sounds as though your sister will be well ‘patched up’ but it must be quite uncomfortable for her at the moment, especially the nose splints.

Grammaretto, what a shame about missing the organ recital. Hope your appointment and journey go alright.
