My first stop of was WHSmiths as it was highly likely to be able to supply me with my desired postage paraphernalia. While in Smiths I thought I’d treat myself to the 2007 Girls Aloud calendar, I was absolutely appalled to find they didn’t have any in stock. However I was still quite pleased as I managed to pick up this amazing pig calendar for my brother which was on sale.

While looking for envelopes I found myself in the pens section, I decided to have a browse to see how far pen technology had advanced since I had been at school. As many of you are probably aware I am a huge follower of canine fashion, however it is a lesser know fact that I am also a fan of stationery fashion, so I made my way over to the “fashion stationary” sub-section (its true it exists check your local WHSmickos). Now strangely all the pens on the fashion stationary shelves were pencil-pens, I can only conclude from this that pencils are the new pens in 2007. You heard it here first!
I managed to find some envelopes fairly easily but was bamboozled to where the stamps were, I then remembered that sometimes you have to ask at the till for stamps. It is relatively common knowledge that stamps are technically legal tender in England, I guess this is why they’re kept behind the counter however this got me thinking:

Q: apart from stamps what else is legal tender in Britain?
A: Money of course!

Q: What do stamps and money have in common?
A: They both feature pictures of the Queen.

I therefore conclude that anything with a picture of the Queen on it is legal tender, try printing out the picture below and buy something nice with it!

Pictured above the Queen; fit but she knows it.
