Oh, i see Tracey, so the weight of 2 CD's will not go beyond the allowed
weight for the articles for the blind service?

hmmm... seems strainge why the RNIB would send them separately.  it's not
really a problem as such unless, the second CD doesn't arrive.  this is the
only reason why I don't really like the 2 related CD's being sent
separately.  you sort of lose track of the story when you're waiting for
another copy to come when the the copy originally sent failed to make it,
lol.
