Its a shame they never got the cards. They could burn them to keep warm

Well I am absolutely shocked that they have been all the way to Moscow, and gone all the way back to you untouched. I had absolutely zero confidence in the russian post service to get them to us, never mind getting them back to you again afterwards! Thanks everyone for the thoughts... I just wish we had found the delivery notices earlier. As we live in a block of flats the card was posted into a little pigeon hole, the card then made it to the flat somehow but nobody told us that it had been delivered! grrrrrrrrr.....

Oh, well. I was beginning to wonder why Roy hadn't thanked us for the cards but now it's obvious.

I'm more surprised that they completed the trip whilst on these shores to be honest.

I feel guilty now, for slipping in with my card that beer mat from the Stag for Roy!

Mrs K. I am shocked, it is supposed to be the thought that counts not the thanks [joke]

All I was saying was that I hadn't pegged Roy as being rude and he obviously isn't so everything is fine with the world - apart from the Russian postal service.

Did you miss the [joke] on the end

Gary did you soak that beer mat in Roys favourite before you sent it, to remind him of home?

He would have been enjoying my sloppy seconds I'm afraid yes, but I'm sure it's nice and dry after all this time.

Never mind Mez...... It's the thought that counts.

Hehehe, we can send them back next year..
