Do the "Dear John" letters go out at the same time?

As far as I can remember Sandy, yes. You then have to wait for another draw to get your number on the stand by list. I think.

I've got so much crossed now, everyday life is getting tricky...

Bang on Louise, except that the standby draw has also taken place already. We don't issue folk with their positions though; they're available on application. Otherwise some folk not fully in tune with the spirit of the event are tempted to tease and taunt, which can be unkind. And we don't like unkind. Cos we're nice.

Envelopes should start landing on Tuesday, at a guess; please post a quick post when it arrives in the post so we know it's arrived. In the post.

No wonder you had bad feet last year Louise, if you are going to spend so long with things crossed.
It cannot be good for circulation and ligaments.

What will be, will be etc etc etc...

I will be out by the time Mr Postie arrives on Tue.
I shall have to await a message from Mr Lambert or Sloman.

Maybe if I wasn't so tied up in knots, I could walk faster :-D

all i can hope for is good news because my bribe to the wife has now so far caused £50 worth of damage
