Writing letters to yourself

I've just put some sheets of blank paper in an envelope addressed to myself and am about to go and post it. This is pretty much a complete waste of 80p but I suppose walking to the post box and counting how many days it takes to be delivered can help to break up the monotony of sitting here doing f- all every day with no one to talk to.

  • Just an update on this amazingly interesting thread. The envelope I posted was delivered 22 hours later. With a second class stamp. And people moan that the post is slow!

    On the subject of other letters though.... I ordered a new bank card which hasn't materialised. I sent a subject access request to the DWP which got ignored. Still haven't heard anything on my PIP claim. I did get a P45 for my now terminated ESA claim though (do wish me luck finding money!). I also eventually got a reply to a letter I wrote to the Samaritans. I won't discuss the contents here, but yes, it turns out that my handwriting is readable.

  • I think the post is variable. I seem to get letters in batches which suggests they might store them up.

    They don't seem to be franked anymore, so there is no date to know how long they took from posting to delivery.

    Your process seems a good way to tell. Although it may be sorted locally so may not be representative of the broader service.
