Royal Mail announced their price rise on the day the March bulletin went to press, (typical), 1st & 2nd class stamps are rising by 2p & 3p respectively, (both standard and large letter), so it’s worth buying a few extra to beat the price rise, they all re-value, so will still be valid, whatever price you paid, as long as they have 1st or 2nd on them! Parcel prices are also changing. Although the good news is that small parcels between 1kg & 2kg, are going down in price! (everything else will be going up we hear!)
The old £50 note with John Houbron on them, are being withdrawn at the end of April, and we have until the end of October 2014 to bank or swap them for new ones!
Thank you to everyone who has been bringing in their Sainsburys’ active kids vouchers, used stamps, and old shoes, they are all going to good charities!
Our friend Andrew is in need of good boots again, if anyone has men’s boots they no longer require (size 11) he would be very grateful! (Please bring them in to us!)
The BGM continue here at the Post Office on Saturday mornings, fresh bread & cakes, eggs, jam etc are available throughout the week too! Steve’s hens are kept very busy!
We will be closed on Good Friday & Easter Monday, allowances are usually paid in to accounts before these days. Customers with “key” meters who need emergency top ups, ring/text my mobile 07825154842. (Please don’t go cold or without a cup of tea, we will come and open the PO!)
Happy Easter to everyone!
Love from Karen & Angela
