Hi all We received a card yesterday that only had my name on the front but was to both hubby and I inside. Unfortunately, whoever sent it forgot to add their name:)) When I saw that it was addressed to me I could only think of someone from GR but it was posted in Nottingham. I'm longing to know who it was from. Anyone like to own up:))))))))) Chrissie xx

recognise the handwriting on the envelope?- or was it a typed label? I have one with nothing writen in it, not who it is to, or who it is from AND it had a typed label on the envelope. Postmaked Birmingham- absolutely no idea who it is from! Jess x

Hi Joy - No, not arrived yet. Mind you we haven't had todays post yet. Will let you know when it arrives:)) Hi Jess - It's hand written but I don't recognise the writing. I don't suppose I shall ever know who it's from but it's just so frustrating:)) Chrissie x

I reckon it would have been quicker for me to have driven up there & dropped it off!!! AND I used first class stamps on mine (they were on special in Superdrug lol) Last time i'm ever doing that, 2nd class only next year, they get there quicker! :0) Joan xxx

Just had another look at it and on reflection I don't think it can be someone from GR. It says Chris on the envelope and I'm sure anyone from here would have put Chrissie. I feel like Inspector Poirot now. I'm even checking the brand (Tesco Woodland Trust) LOL:))))

Thanks Joan. The clues are:- All capitals, Nottm instead of Nottingham but the postcode is on it. Inside written in longhand, definitely female. Well, got any clues LMHO:))

I got one the other day, with nothing written inside, and the writing on the front rings a bell but I can't quite place it. It's a Norwich postmark so I will just have to wait and see who I don't get one from and then the puzzle might fall into place. Still haven't written half of mine yet.
