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 thought of this thread recently; when a retired household moved into our road. 

    Moving home usually involve lots of admin., mostly to do with bills / invoices and updating contact details with utility companies etc.  

    I left it about a week - for them to hopefully settle-in a little more, then I put in their letterbox - a simple "good wishes to welcome you to your new home" notelet.

    In this ever-busy era of email, social media, smartphones and so forth; I thought it might be better to enable them to have a sit down with a cup of tea and open a physical piece of post ...which, by way of a change, was not a bill.

    (Anyway, I hope that might have been how it was received).

  • Hand written things still mean something and are more personal.

    I bought something and they put a compliments slip in with a hand written thankyou and my name. Was a nice touch. Indeed I bought some more from them.

    It costs little and makes the world more human, something we seem to be trying to remove.
