Try slipping a copy of the Journal into one of the envelopes and see if it fits, Fiona - that's how I checked if my envelope was the right size. :wink:

If the envelopes are 'A5' size, Fiona, then they should be fine. :-)

I contacted her on PM and it's all sorted now. SHame Stef doesn't come on here much - but I think she's just very busy. :-)

That was my plan :lol:. I've just done it and Journal 55 fitted fine.

According to the label they're C5 which seems to be the same thing. Gosh, I never thought I'd have a whole conversation about the size of envelopes. I'm getting dull in my old age :lol:

my envelopes are also C5 now - maybe A4 doesn't exist any more...? :lol:

Sixret - posted your Journals yesterday. :-)

Walter - haven't received your envelopes yet.

The C sizes are part of the same international standard system as A4, A5 etc. - they're used only for envelopes and are slightly larger than the A sizes, in order for the corresponding A size to fit into the C envelope. (That is, a C5 envelope will take an A5 document, a C4 envelope will take an A4 document, and so on.) :wink:

Well, Nigel you know several Australians, Michael E. or Heather S. for example. Do you think they're all strange? Or do you mean furriners? ;-)
