I recently spent rather a lot of live meal worms for the birds and when my statement this morning arrived I got a Very Black Look from Himself  :-\ - however: he knows I'm buying them and he does spend on his hobbies and buying at auction/antique fairs.  I would usually go up to £100.00 without discussion ……… and he spends far more on his brother than I think he ought  :-\    >shrug< ……

My Mum had a card from Royal Mail on Friday - apparently a package that I had sent didn't have enough postage applied  >:( even though I had made sure that the package was weighed before being posted ……… it was 11p short!  ::) so the charge was £1.11 the quid being for 'handling'.

Sometimes weighing isn't the problem CLKD - it's the actual size of the package. I posted a card to a friend recently but failed to put the Large Letter stamp on it and sent it with a normal one. She had to pay as well.

Stores 'own make' ?

No, just different make, it was from a health food shop.
