A woman who stuck a stamp to a letter box after forgetting to attach it to an envelope hailed An Post for delivering the card.
Sarah Hogan, from Dublin, posted a card to congratulate her friend on the birth of her daughter last month - but forgot to attach the stamp to the envelope.
She retrieved a stamp and left it on the post box with a note begging the post collector to attach it to the card.
Sarah thanked An Post worker for ensuring the card was successfully delivered.
Speaking on TodayFM, she said: "I was posting a new baby card to my friend on the lucky arrival of baby Lina.
"I popped it in the box and realised 'oh my God, I forgot the stamp'.
"I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner before I forgot the stamp.
"I literally put it in there and thought it. I headed back home.
"I got my stamp and wrote a grovelling letter to my nice post collector saying 'please rummage around in here and attach the stamp to the card'.
"I went back and stuck it on the outside of the post box. I went back the next day and the note was gone.
"The happy ending was that two days later, the card and stamp ended up on at friend's door. There are good post men and women in Dublin."
