eternal Posted March 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Please let us not forget people who's birthdays are during this isolated time too. If you are still wanting to send card there is a lovely range online HERE Both cards and envelopes are of lovely quality ( I can verify this). To order stamps online looks like Viking Direct are the best option. With delivery for a book of 12- 2nd class stamps it works out 94p per stamp. Whilst this may seem a lot of money it could make an enormous difference to someone's birthday. (There is free delivery of orders of £30 or more so contacting neighbours (by phone) to see if they need any stamps could let you take advantage of this offer. All exchanges of stamps and of money could be done by pushing envelopes through each other's letterbox, with no need for any contact. There is always face timing singing Happy Birthday too. This is what one street did to one little girl who's birthday it was (You will need your tissues )SEE HERE 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValR Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 The cards I ordered from Sheila Gill came today, and as you said Eternal they are really nice quality, bigger than I expected and less than £1 each, very happy with them! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Posted March 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 So glad you like them. I think they are lovely quality (and I am fussy about cards) I met the couple(husband and wife) at a show they were exhibiting at in Malvern. She does all the artwork and he does the rest (packing boxes etc)!! I have to say all the other items wrapping paper, mugs etc are all of very good quality too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eternal Posted April 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 The verdict on if wearing masks makes a difference is out. However this article HERE Researchers from University of Oxford confirm: Research on how well various types of masks and face coverings varies but, recently, and in light of the pandemic of COVID-19, experts are increasingly leaning toward the notion that something is better than nothing. A University of Oxford study published on March 30 concluded that surgical masks are just as effective at preventing respiratory infections as N95 masks for doctors, nurses and other health care workers. It's too early for their to be reliable data on how well they prevent infection with COVID-19, but the study found the thinner, cheaper masks do work in flu outbreaks. I definitely agree that something is better than nothing. Here is how you can make your own. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
