Seeds packeted, labelled, put in envelope and had it double checked at post office for right postage for outgoing and return envelope. So should be with you tomorrow or Wednesday.  :)

Mine's been posted today too, also had to go to Post Office to make sure right size, shape, weight, blood group etc.....how ridiculous! ;D
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

Guys......I have to pull out of this, I had a packet of purple ones.
Found it an hour ago wet through and the seeds are mouldy.


The pack is so ruined I cant even read the name, the giveaway is a bit of a picture of a very faded tomato. And I have no others to exchange :'( :'( :'(

Sorry :-[

I have a leaflet which explains size of letters, weight and postage costs etc.  I worked mine out to be 44p but as I only had 2nd class stamps (left from Christmas), I put two of these on each envelope.  Theoretically I have overpaid Royal Mail but I have a 10 mile return trip to the Post Office so have saved the money on petrol as well as my time!    ;D ;D

I had a 15 minute wait at the post office. 2 in front had several parcels each to send and the post lady likes to have a natter. I knew that the size of the envelope was okay - but not good at guessing the 5 mm thickness, and it was just over. The strange thing was even though I knew it was a bit thick and needed to be weighed the post lady demonstrated to me again that it wouldn't go through the sizer. Oh well looks like I have perfected vacant stare to a tee, I obviously need things explaining to me, carefully and slowly.  :-\

Plan on posting mine tomorrow, just wanted to check first if I can send to swop Sutton's Seed Mats, 3 different varieties.  There's more than 10 seeds on each mat though, but three seperate mats.
