Scene 1: 3 years back, in the first few weeks of my life in frozen land:
me: I never get any mail !!
hubby: what !! whenever I see you, you are always replying to emails, chats, scraps !!
me: not emails !! I meant paper mail, letters, parcels. The outside world doesnt know I exist in this address.
hubby: ask your parents, cousins, aunts & uncles to send you letters instead of emails
me: huh !! that will be too many letters to reply back to. What a wastage of postage & paper !!
hubby: Sigh...
Somewhere in my head, something made me do this: Sign up to receive Chadwicks brochure.
And every time one arrived, I would proudly read my name and exclaim "ah !! see they know I live here".
