another NICE post office experience! :-)
I asked the woman if I could please use her scissors and tape to take one thing out and close it up again, and she looked at me and said, "let's just pretend it's exactly one kilo."
Oh my! :-)
I said to her "it's for charity..." and she just nodded.
So sweet!

I had the same last week Mary.
I took in 4 parcels, one of which was 10 gms over the kilo, but she just weighed the four together and as it was under 4kg she let me off.
Unfortunately everything goes by air from Lanzarote, so I have to pay 16euros + for everything up to 1kg.
I had to swallow hard when I had to hand over almost 78euros!
I think from now on I'm going to try and give my parcels to people going back to the uk to post for me as it appears that they cost half that by sea. When you are sending a lot that makes a big difference. I'd rather spend the saving on more yarn!
