One small packet and 4 elastic bands... 😂

He must've known I needed them...

A catalogue from BAM, with a free pair of socks.

I signed up for one free pair of socks from them about 4 years ago and they send me at least 4 pairs a year…I feel like Harry Potter and his letter from Hogwarts…I think I got 8 last year. Is this your first pair or do you also receive umpteen pairs a year!?

A mothers day card and my council tax bill. An interesting mixture.

They usually leave the elastic bands on my drive.

Just a letter from my pensions provider today. Nothing exciting.

Same - if I need an elastic band there's usually a few at my doorstep!

A refund cheque from south west railway for train delay😁

If you see these rogue elastic bands on the ground, please do pick them up - they are a danger to pets and wildlife. I had to wrestle one out of my cat's throat once, as he was choking on it.

Nothing, and if we did receive anything it would probably be for the previous owners. They still seem to be getting more post than us despite moving out over 6 months ago!

Two handbags I bought from vinted and
The council tax bill

SoShallINever · 18/03/2023 17:25

A 30% off voucher for my fav local pub 😍

TattiePants · 18/03/2023 17:26

We also got the Wool Room catalogue today. BAM sent me a free pair of socks a few years ago and I’ve since bought 10-15 pairs plus boxer shorts for DH. Their marketing works!

Cocobutt · 18/03/2023 17:26

My DDs hobby used to be collecting the elastic bands the posties dropped and we’d literally have to go out walking to see how many she could find.

I rarely see them on the ground anymore so I don’t know if the new postie is more careful or I’m just not looking out for them like I used to.

A catalogue from BAM, with a free pair of socks.

Wait, what! I've not had my freebie BAM socks since pre-lockdown.

Have I just fallen out of favour?

WorriedMillie · 18/03/2023 17:27

The Beano 😍
(For DD, bit I may have a little read)

TattiePants · 18/03/2023 17:29

Not through the letterbox but a courier dropped off a huge mirror which thankfully we like as it would’ve been a nightmare to return, a vase and a light fitting that is so tiny it would look good in a dolls house!

Abracadabra12345 · 18/03/2023 17:31

Two letters from penpals, and a bill

landoflostcontent · 18/03/2023 17:32

Instructions and prep for a colonoscopy 😞But I did have some lovely flowers and cards for tomorrow 😊

whatausername · 18/03/2023 17:33

A pocket hug and a paperweight.

Blossomtoes · 18/03/2023 17:34

No idea, we’re on holiday.

ClaireStandishsLipstick · 18/03/2023 17:35

An unexpected parcel from DD for Mother’s Day. I don’t want or expect anything other than a card or a phone call/FaceTime so it’s lovely for her to have bought a gift.

Bluevelvetsofa · 18/03/2023 17:36

I e had a couple of pairs of BAM socks in the past, but not for ages, so it seemed a bit random. I was looking for something in their sale a while ago, so perhaps that’s why. They didn’t have what I wanted in the right size and their stuff is too expensive unless it’s sale price, so I didn’t get anything.

DPotter · 18/03/2023 17:37

A catalogue from BAM, with a free pair of socks.

and others too have had them. Feel I'm missing out now

I love my BAM socks

LadyMary50 · 18/03/2023 17:37

Two pack of Premier Inn pillows,I can’t wait to go to bed😊Left in the back porch by our very friendly postie😊

LakieLady · 18/03/2023 17:38

A flyer for the local operatic society's production of "Little Shop of Horrors".

I think I'll give that a miss.

CambsAlways · 18/03/2023 17:39

Never heard of BAM socks oh am I missing out here lol

whoamitojudge · 18/03/2023 17:41

A letter reminding me to renew my drivers licence

Watto1 · 18/03/2023 17:42

How does one sign up for free socks then? I through them so quickly (feet like a stegosaurus)
