When you post your stamps to animal charities, please ensure that you put the correct amount of postage on the envelope, because charities cannot afford to pay to retrieve them from sorting offices.  Thank you.

Yeo Valley Yokens
If you love Yeo Valley products (e.g. milk, yoghurt, cheese, so this isn't one for vegans), then you may know that there's a special code on nearly every pack of Yeo Valley.   You can redeem that code online for Yeokens and spend those on goodies, discounts and days out, or play games with them.  However you can also donate them to one of three charities - these change every quarter and the charity getting the most Yeokens gets £1,500. The other two I think get £1,000.  I do this as a way to donate my Yeokens to animal charites.  Register with Yeo Valley Yeokens here (it's free and easy to do).
