I enjoyed my online window shopping so much that i can imagine what going round the shop must be like. I was tempted by a Cricut machine which cuts paper to your own design, but when I saw the price, well, I will wait until you get a £ 300 voucher, maybe . . .

Martha, I dont usually use hobbycraft, i only occasionaly make a visit to a real store if im staying near to one, for a mooch and maybe an impulse purchase.so the voucher is no good to me at this time

I find it difficult to measure the thickness of the envelope with a ruler and I am the worrying type so I have to make sure it is not going to be rejected as I weigh it at home.

That is nice of you Heather. I cannot think of anything I need at the moment but thanks.

Alan, I simply cut a slot of the right dimentions on a piece of card. It has served me well for years.

The Post Office sells stamps by post too . They came by UPS, I assummed Kevin, my postman, would bring them.

Heather, if you can get yourself a 'Pricing in Proportion' ruler this will help. It has 5mm and 25mm slots to tell you whether your letter is 'large' or not. Helix make one as well as some other manufacturers

Im currently sorting out some small and thin-ish 6 page boardbooks to get put into regular but arted up envelopes for mailing out to several people, uk euro and overseas.

im using standard A5 envelopes but am unsure whether the 40gram slightly thicker package would manage to scrape in as a large letter or if i should make it a parcel?

my local Post office is on weird opening times obviously and i dont manage to catch these times to coincide with my once weekly excursion into town. I weigh my mail to price check what stamps i need to put on.
