Dont worry she been gone a while now, She always insisted on giving out cards early, Like a month early..Poor owld Wifey!! Wait until you get your 1st two or three cards in then post them out after that.:)

Just an idea, if any workplaces that normally give out cards to each other would like to help the environment and a good cause you can contact Childline and get a poster that you all sign with your wishes and pay £2 for charity

When Xmas is past, remember to recycle your cards, a good way is to donate them to a nursery for drawing materials. Or if I remember Tesco and Boots down here used to have collection points.
When I was employed I was responsible for collecting and recycling, and quite often would collect about 100 kilos of cards from one Customs building

I was going to tell you what I'm getting my man but I know he has a spy on here so he might find out. But he's into techno so it's something electrical and up there if you know what I mean
