Stickers: Second Epilogue

     And hopefully this is the last sticker blog, probably for ten years.  I ordered both the collectabubble stickers and Panini at the same time. The collectabubble ones turned up two days later by recorded delivery, at a cost of £4.70 plus £2 delivery.  Eight days after ordering I got an e-mail from Panini saying that the stickers would be delivered within fifteen days.  A further eight days later I received the stickers, including the fabled 00 Panini logo, at a cost of £3.39, having got a discount for joining the Panini club.  Thus I have completed the set with the only gap being the My Panini ad, which I'll have to draw myself as the paninicheapskates people haven't replied. 
     The total cost was:

                    Two boxes and album              £102-99
                    Forty extra packets                    £ 20-00
                    Collectabubble.com order           £ 6-70
                    Panini order                                 £ 3-39
                    Grand Total                             £ 133-08

     The roughly 600 swaps were given away to a colleague's son; I have no idea how well he has done.  Apologies to anyone who thought that I might be desperate to get rid of my swaps; I was, so I took them to work.
     The paninicheapskates people have had worldwide publicity, a short film made about them,  are having an exhibition and may be part of a Panini book. Me ?  Absolutely nothing.
