Arrived with me 18/12 whilst I was busy wrapping Christmas presents, so only opened Tuesday 19th. I see rahar109 has realised that she omitted the id card and has sent it to me separately so I will try to await its arrival before sending this on but as I already had a book to go, it is ready to move on (once/if the card arrives).
(Having been in this bookbox for the previous 2 years, I do have this BCID. I have therefore also scrawled the BCID on the box, just in case the card does not reach me before Thursday when I am next scheduled to go to the Post Office!).
