I just sat down to write some Christmas cards and on the back it states they can be recycled in a certain shop until the end of January 2007. I never realised I had bought them so long ago but it has rung a bell that I bought more last year as I didn't think I had any. Would it bother you to get a card bought so long ago?

BTW I have written only 2 so far!

Wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

TBH I doubt I would even notice. Nothing wrong with it as far as I am concerned.

I get a card, I open it, I look for the name of the person/people sending it, I close the card and never look at it again until I take it to the recycling bank.

Please keep writing.

If I noticed I would assume that you bought them in Jan sales. I do the same, wouldn't bother me at all.

I wouldn't have noticed

I wouldn't even notice and even if i did it wouldn't bother me. (but then i have cards from further back than 2007!)

Thank you all as I have written the whole packet now! I probably did buy them in the sales. It wouldn't bother me either but you never know if there is an etiquette for this sort of thing! Would have been to omuch of a waste to bin them.

Food etc all okay as I cook a lot so use by dates don't come close. Thanks for the reminder though.

Message

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,

, type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,

, type [grin] or :o
For a wink,

, type [wink]
For a shocked face,

For an embarrassed face,

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
