Whoever it was on here who suggested sending things to companies that send you junk mail is an absolute genious.
This morning I received my 3rd letter of the week from provident financial offering me another loan at 189.2%APR. In their prepaid envelope I sent them a charity clothes bag(the ones that drop on your doormat like cluster bombs),a token for 10% off dog shampooing at the local groomers,an advert for pizzahut's lunchtime menu,and a cash receipt from my local sainsbury's for petrol.
I wonder what I could send them next,any ideas welcome!!!

I cant work out if they would get charged extra postage if I send something heavier like a housebrick?? Or perhaps a paving slab!!

This has made me really giggle! I know it is a little unprofessional of me to do so, but I am actually rocking at the moment at the thought of the envelope being opened at the other end.
Even stuffy olf IPs are allowed a humour moment!

No one would ever say you were stuffy or old Melanie!
It's good to have a good giggle, especially when the weather is rubbish!

I am always glad to bring a smile to your face Mel. You work too hard and really dont get the credit you deserve.
You could never be considered as a stuffy old IP!!!

Perhaps a food stuff? A friend at Uni used to send stale biscuits back with those.

A friend of mine once sewed fresh prawns into her ex-boyfriend's curtain hems, in revenge for his unfaithfulness. You can imagine the smell after a few weeks, and it took him ages to find the source!

I remember putting an open tin of sardines above a ceiling tile in my warrant officers office. We had previously placed one of those musical cards up in the ceiling space next to a vent so when the wind blew it opened up enough to play "happy birthday". He was not amused!!!
