You’ve got me on twice, so be careful to  
not send my name to twice as many people!

Though extra postcards wouldn’t be a bad thing…!

Maybe you doubled with one, instead of listing me.

Or maybe nobody wants my postcards.

☹

Is it too late to join?

I can’t guarantee to send a postcard, but if I do, I will win top prize. There are prizes, right ?😕?

Don’t be silly! I will add you to my list.

I think you’re right about the doubling - in addition to clumsy thumbs, I had a kitten trying to help me enter the names - it was a bit confusing.

That explains the postcard addressed to ‘Sunspacepurrpatpatmeow’, then.

Sign-up lasts until August 20 and you have to pm your postal address to me before then. You must give a commitment to post 3 cards, but I appreciate that I’d you’re posting your card from some extremely isolated corner of the world it may take a while for your cards to reach their recipients.

I know, but last time I did this, I sent them from a country with only one post office, One of them took several months to arrive :eek:

Who cares vhere they come down?  
That’s not my department,’  
Says Werner von Braun."

Same principle applies to post cards and post offices - once you post them, you’ve carried out your side of the bargain. 🙂
