I get confused about the postage, cannot judge this 5mm depth to save myself so I would love them to get rid of that,
what worries me more is - what if the stamp I am using is out of date as it only says 1st or 2nd on it. xx Flora

Flora it doesn't matter how old the stamp is (within reason I suppose - I think they could tell if it was several year old) but you have paid for first or second class service and that is what you get.

I think I have posted before that if you are posting anything on a Saturday make sure you send it second class as all mail posted on Saturday is sorted as FIRST class on Monday.
