Silly Stupid me.

Since we got back from the honeymoon, I've been trying to find all the cards I obviously took out of my wallet and put somewhere very very safe. Not the money-based ones. The other ones. The Donut King buy-ten-get-one-free card. The library cards. The Laser Zone cards.

Tonight I picked up a shirt that had been left behind and then washed when we got back about a month ago. I noticed that the pocket was rather heavy.

Inside, a small plastic folder with all the cards in.

And of course, as the folder had been washed, the water had gotten into the cards. And they were still damp.

And smelly.

And the paper-only ones have all stuck to each other, including the Metcard and the HMV card.

They smell. so. bad.

If you haven't given up and thrown them all out yet, try ironing them with a *very low* iron. You don't want to scorch them - but if you iron them slowly you can dry out the layers and sort of peel them apart and sometimes bits of it are still usable.

Not that I've -ever- done this before, especially not with an entire book of postage stamps.
