Did exactly that on Monday - felt so stupid going back the next day and asking for envelope. Customer Services lady smiled, as if this happend 100 times a day (it probably does) and kindly said, 'go and get an envelope and just wave it at me on your way out' - and yes greenmossgiel, it was one of the best cards I ever found - perfect! blush

hellypelly I'd like to congratulate you on inventing such a brilliant word.
'Envelopeless' certainly deserves to be included in the OED.

Thanks very much, twizzle! Very satisfying to have invented something useful! smile

Have you ever invented anything un-useful then?

I had to go away and think about that, twiz! Its rather profound! Has anyone ever invented anything unuseful?

twizzle Fri 08-Jul-11 08:28:13

Is un-useful a word?
Surely I should have written useless.
