do you still send postcards when on hol?

i think he only did it as his phones not working over there and i'm not on facebook so was only way to contact me but i was so chuffed its made me think that i'm going to try to remember to send some myself next hol we have

It seems like it was a sweet gesture in your situatuion

For me though, i personally find sending a postcard a chore. Yeah its not difficult to do, but i dont like gloating to the recipient as to the fact im not at home. And i have time off within my time off to let them know that!

I think they are a dying art, but it is so lovely to receive, so I do tend to send them, even if they do tend to arrive after you get home

I sent one to my friend from Egypt in April one year.

She rang me in September and asked me how I'd enjoyed my 2nd hoiday there and was surprised that I had not told her I was going again

I don't.

Do you cover up your t.v when they come round ?

Do you pretend not to have a job to the unemployed ?

Sending cards is to share your holiday with the person.

You took time from your holiday to share with them - not gloat.

Funny attitude that to think that it's gloating.....

Me I don't send them. Too busy enjoying myself.

I have been to Turkey twice, sent postcards to home, friends and work and none of them have ever arrived. Anywhere else in the world I have been and the postcards always turn up. Still send them though. Bit of a tradition.

Ok maybe gloating is not how you prefer to see it, but it is how i see it.

When i was younger all my family could afford was a trip to devon (no offense to the locals!) and i always dreamt of a 'proper' summer holiday.

So for me personally, i felt it a little patronising recieving a postcard from a friend whilst he was on holiday in the bahamas. Though i am certain it wasnt his intention, you never know until you're on the recieiving end how it really comes across.

If you see it as different then thats your view.

Green eyed monster is so ugly.

Being envious or feeling you didn't have what others had happens all the time. Doesn't mean it was sent in bad spirit just that the reciever was self pitying. That's okay in a child. Pretty ugly in an adult.

I don't do postcards myself, for no other reason than I can't be arsed as I am too busy. But understand that others find joy in doing so....just not my thing.

Yeah the reciever was self pitying, but thats not the case anymore. As i said it wasnt sent to intentionally gloat; just how i percieved it at the time. Which may be how some of my family/friends currently feel, which is why i choose not to do it.
