Default For those 'eek, I forgot' moments....

This lot have saved me once again. I keep remembering Birthdays, Mother's Day, etc, way too late for postage from Canada to the UK

www.sendacard.co.uk will handwrite your message in any of their cards and post it first class from the UK so it arrives the next day.

Hallmark UK are crap, and will let you pick a card, change it around, write a message, but when you get to the payment screen they won't accept a non-UK address. Useless

That saves me a lot too. However, it usually notifies you the day of, or the day before someone's birthday, and some people (shock horror) aren't even on Facebook

Some of us resist arsebook. Though even we aren't safe; there is a case somewhere (germany?) about people that don't use it being searchable on twatbook cos their 'friends' have uploaded pictures and tagged them.

Amanda Holden friend requested me on FB. I don't want to be rude and tell her to **** off but I can't think of anything worse than having that washed up tart as a friend.
