Thank you so much, yes at this point, squares to Southsea, whole Chernobs to Teds. However you could put altogether and send to Tedd if it’s easier?

I posted as two separate parcels today. I sent them first class as there wasn't too much difference in price and I am hoping that the squares get there in time to be included in tomorrow's sort out.
