My son is really into stamp collecting, and is fascinated by stamps from other countries.

Would any kind MN from abroad be willing to send him a postcard?

If anyone would be able to do this can you email me at

You already have an offer from the US but if you need another, I could help.

Ok, will do, Cali. Got some Croatian coins ones to put in with them too. Look out for them late October-ish.

PolarCub, I will try my best to remember to send him a postcard from Croatia next month however this very much depends on my brain working - pregnancy combined with an already terrible memory has left me in a world of my own! Feel free to send me a reminder email in a few weeks!

would he be interested in a pack of my 'swaps' ie spare ones that have been gathering dust for years cos i don't actually ever 'swap' with anyone?

i think i have loads anyway, would love them to go to a good home...

WelliesAndPyjamas Thank you. I remember what my brain was like in pregnancy - actually it never got any better I'll try to remember to email you in a couple of weeks.

justkeepswimming 'swaps' would be great. I did stamp collecting as a child too (also outs self as sad). Agree that no-one writes anymore. If you email me I'll send our address.

I also have Dubai to add to the list of places.
