I've only got one Christmas scarf from my mum. When do you post yours ?

[toughtoes]

AIBU to expect cards by now? Is the post running slow again ? I've posted and delivered mine in the last few days.

@Happy1982ish

Please tell me you’re sending second class at least Then you’re spending a whopping £660 on postage

And if you do first class £850

Seriously.

For 50 cards? Are you sure?

Six here... including the one from the council with those really festive bin collection days on it. The rest of the six are really beautiful pictures. Weirdly all have a church, village, Christmas tree and glitter. Must be this year's "thing".

Are you sending yours on horseback or something? I spent 24€ on postage, and most of my cards were sent abroad.

I was calculation on 100 cards

So she’s spending

£330 if second class
And £425 if first

My mind boggles

If 50 cards the above is correct.

The £630 and £850 was based on 100

Do you only give them out in order to receive cards back? Pointless imo.

We’ve had 3 cards but haven’t sent any yet. I’ll do it next week…
I’m in my 20s but grew up giving a card to everyone in my class and it’s a hard habit to kick

Second class stamps are 66p this year. So 50 of them would be £33.

@Happy1982ish - I think you need some lessons in decimal places!

(It’s still lots to pay, though)

@Happy1982ish

It’s not correct. You’ve got your decimal point in the wrong place.

Your maths is completely off. A first class stamp is 76p. 50 cards at 76p is £38. Where on earth are you getting your numbers from?

@DorothyZbornakIsAQueen

We've received 1 and I dobt know where to put it.

I don't send them, nor wish to receive them. They make the place look scruffy.

Does this apply to birthday cards as well?

You’ve got your decimal points in the wrong place!

0.66 x 100 = £66.

0.66 x 50 = £33.

I’ve not even knitted mine yet…

Apologies!!!! Completely thick of me!!

@ThePoisonousMushroom

Your stamp values are out of date. It’s 84p for first class now. And 66p for second.

Happy1982ish

Repeating it doesn't make it right.

Sorry! Just seen your update!

Ive only received one card.
I send a few.
Dh sends 20 or so to old uni friends etc

@ZenNudist - rubbish. Fewer are sent granted. But lots of people under 70 send cards.

Yes I just realised that.
Shows when the last time I posted something was!

Birthday cards are lovely and special in my opinion
Generally from close friends and family
So they go up for a couple of days

Christmas cards… they make any lounge look like an something cluttered and out of the 40s. So straight in the recycling bin. Thankfully friends and family haven’t sent for years
The ones I have received in recent years have been from neighbours I have no interaction with and just says “with best wishes” or ex colleagues from years ago
Thanks but no thanks

@Happy1982ish - terrible maths!

One neck, one scarf - what's the problem?

I’ve received 5 so far.

We live in a hamlet of 12 houses and we all send cards to each other and will meet on the green to sing carols together nearer Christmas.

I’ve sent 18 cards by 2nd cl post. Mostly to aunts and uncles who I rarely see and are in their 70’s. Also a couple to people I used to be in regular contact with but now we just write a few newsy lines at Christmas.

Sending and receiving less and less though.
