OK - so who gave Mrs Grumpy some Happy Pills?!

Just to let you know that my trip to the Post Office went off without a hitch today! I picked a quiet time and trotted in with my bag full of Grand Draw Prize packages. Then, to my horror, realised there was only one person manning the Post Office counter - and it was my friend ...... Mrs Grumpy. Gulp.

To my utter delight and everlasting joy, she was all sweetness and light - ploughing through all the packages, adding the postage to them and also giving me proof of posting for each one. At one point I said I was concerned when I was pulling out ever more packages from my bag and said perhaps we could skip the proof of posting and she said 'No worries. That's what we're here for'. Stunned, smacked with a wet kipper and so on - I came home a very happy bunny! Perhaps the long queue that had built up behind me might not have been so happy though. Can't win 'em all! Ha, was that a dagger that whistled past my ear as I exited the village shop?

So, if you won a prize - the UK ones are coming by 1st Class post and all overseas ones are Airmail of course.

I'd really appreciate it if you could quickly drop me an email when your prize arrives - purely so I can tick things off and eventually dispose of all the paperwork. No need to write anything more than - 'Prize arrived' or similar.

  1. You clearly are meant to run The Playground Ms Di! I cannot even imagine having so many packages to mail! Hard enough for me mailing letters every week or so. There's one person at my PO I refuse to deal with unless it's something very simple. She just can't stop talking & is so unprofessional. You have way more patience than me! Glad Ms Grumpy wasn't grumpy & that the daggers missed you!

  2. Wahoo! So glad Mrs Grumpy has turned into Mrs Happy! You have just as much right to send off a load of parcels as the next customer! There'll be lots of happy dancing around the UK tomorrow then!

    Hugs, Sarn xxx

  14. So pleased to hear that Mrs Grumpy was having a good day when you visited. Our Post Office was just round the corner, but had to close last year because not enough people were using it. Next time Mrs Grumpy is grumpy, remind her that you are keeping her in a job. ;-) xx
