All this talk about cost of postage has reminded me I'd better get myself organised and write out the cards before it's too late for 2nd class. What I hate are those "round robin" newsletters that people send out. I don't care that Tarquin has got a first from Cambridge and Amanda is now playing with the Royal Philarmonic as first violin, and Cecily is now with the Royal Ballet dancing in swan Lake (OK a bit of an exageration but you know what I mean) If your news was that exciting shy didn't you give me a call if you wanted me to know? I also cut down on my cards for friends that we've not seen for years. We had some friends who we always popped in to visit on our way to the West Country, but I know her brother lives in the next village, but did they ever pop in and see us? Maybe it's not in the spirit but if they can't make an effort why should I?

You're missing a trick there, if you just keep the cards you can put them up every year and save yourself the trouble of buying and writing new ones :D
