Have been waiting since the postal strike at the beginning of November for 3 certificates from Chelsea. They say they have still not received the applicaton or the cheques. |

My postman actually ripped my letterbox off and cracked my door across trying to get a parcel through. The insurance chappie that came to look didnt at first believe he managed to fit it through. He must have kicked it. I had a nice new door though without argument. I should try and complain to the post office. They may refund the cost of the certificate. Regards Helena |

The trouble with documents being marked 'do not bend' is that it took me ages to work out how to pick the envelope up from the floor! Eventually I managed it by putting a bit of double-sided tape on the end of a stick and got it that way. Didn't have to bend once..........................LOL !!! |

Why not contact wherever you ordered the certificate from and explain, and see if they'll send you another copy. You never know, they might be full of Christmas cheer. Jan. |

I think that certificates should come in them hardback envelopes, that then avoids them getting screwed up. |

Good question Elaine, If I was writing a dictionary definition of one it would read like this............Iron: 1. A heated electical implement used to smooth creases in clothing, linen etc, unable to be located or operated by anyone other than the owner. 2. A heated electrical implement considered by males as a suitable Birthday, Anniversary, Christmas or Valentines gift. 3. A heated electrical implement that cannot be wielded by the owner with the same frequency, dexterity or devotion that was displayed by the mother, ex-wife, girlfriend or mistress of the owners' current partner. N.B Definition 1. Can also be applied to vacuum cleaners, washing machines and cleaning products ( especially, but not exclusively bathroom and toilet products ) N.B Definition 2. Can also be applied to white goods, lawn mowers, new PC motherboards and general computer upgrades and all forms of lingerie ( especially, but not exclusively, bought in haste as a last minute gift , at least two sizes too small but conforming to partners' ideal of perfect femine statistics, anything rejected by Ann Summers as being a loss-leader and too tarty ) N.B Definition 3. Can also be applied to cleaning products, cookers, home-cooked meals, washing filthy football/rugby/sports kit, general private bedroom duties. N.B See also T.V Remote Control and Sky Sport restrictions.....................................Pam |

Elaine, I had the same thing happen a few weeks ago. Lay the certificate on your ironing board and cover it with a clean tea towel then iron it with your iron at it's lowest setting ( no steam).....Pam |
