Random Post of Happy Things

[byslantedlight]

To replace the post of Riot Against the ConDems who have just more than doubled the price of my sending random tiny wee envelopes of happy things to my elderly mum in Australia. Oh no, of course it wasn't them, all they did was privatise the post office - nowt to do with them what happened next... Grrrr...

I am so peeved that I can't concentrate on work right now, so I'm randomly posting more cheerful things...










(All nicked off Pinterest, btw...)

Okay, I really am going to work now. Not read. :( But I wish I was reading...

I should have started work, but... hello! *g*

I think it's not just for far off places - you won't get anything UK-bound through that slot either, if it's thicker than, oh, about a single folded sheet of paper. Or bigger than A5. I mean, £4 doesn't sound like much, but it adds up alot quicker than £2 does, especially if you're not in a household with a couple of incomes and at least one of them nice and fat... Gargh...

Except that I was supposed to be focussing on not being cross about it (unless I'm going to go out and actively join a campaign group, of course... or some alternative political party that just doesn't exist at the moment... *more sigh*)... So books! Yes! I was soooo good before I went to Australia, and managed to give quite a few bags of books to charity shops, but it crunched me inside to do it. I neeeeeed to live somewhere with more space for books - I miss the Victorian houses I lived in when I was in Manchester! I totally couldn't give away any of my childhood books though - I've even managed to save some of the old Jack and Jill and Teddy Bear comics we had when we were very wee indeed! Oh, but I want them out of storage! I must confess though, I've been back - only just nearly two months, and already I have a shelf full of new books for my collection... which I love. *g*
