Thank you to everyone who's sent, been sending, has sent and is in transit, planning to send but hasn't made it to the post office, planning to plan to send after they buy the things to send from the shop and, even those who purchased snacks to send but ate them before they could send them.
If you don't now (still not sure how this started) now you know:
