A brilliant idea on how to enjoy your junk mail – and annoy the senders. When you get junk mail for everything from yet another credit car to double glazing, don’t throw away the pre-paid return envelope. It costs them more than the regular postage if they are posted back. It costs them nothing if you throw them away!

So why not get rid of some of your other junk mail in those prepaid return envelopes. Send an ad for double glazing to American Express or a pizza coupon to HSBC. Just make sure your name isn't on anything you return. You could just send their envelope back empty if you want to just to keep them guessing! After all it’s their envelope.

This'll help keep Royal Mail busy especially since they are is saying that e-mail is cutting into their business profits; so let's help them so they will not need to increase postage costs again.

Robert’s got another two wheezes to annoy unsolicited phone callers for next week’s blog.

The snow has nearly gone but the ice has been horrendous but at least Robert hasn’t fallen over again – yet.
...and he's cleared the drive at last!!!!
Although we never got to Pikey’s consultant haematologist in Barrow on Monday we got a telephonic OK from the oncology unit which is really good news.

"I don’t believe one grows older. I think that what happens, early on in life, is that at a certain age one stands still and stagnates." T S Eliot (1888-1965)
