ok here's much easier what am I ? as the last one might have been a little difficult , all the clues are related to one thing
(I'll work on a more difficult one when I get some more time)

1 this boy is firmly entrenched

2 never moves from it's corner but travels around the world

3 some stick to themselves

4 sometimes this gets pushed

5 under cover

6 carried by a snail

this shouldn't take long , good luck smile

Kehrless is correct well done

1 this boy is firmly entrenched

2 never moves from it's corner but travels around the world

3 some stick to themselves others get licked

4 sometimes this gets pushed

5 under cover

6 carried by a snail



1 mark is the boy entrenched like a post ie postmarked is the clue
2 a stamp goes in the corner of the envelope and the envelope can be sent around the world stamp is the clue
3 newer envelopes are self adhesive older style most people licked the flap to seal it
4 push the envelope, to stretch established limits, as in technological advance or social innovation.
5 According to historians, letters were mailed, "under cover or envelope." with messages was enclosed in a paper that was folded and sealed. It was the responsibility of senders had to take care of their own "enveloping," and cut the paper as required.
5 snail mail term often used for normal mail where letters are posted in envelopes unlike todays electronic mail

well that was an easy one , I'll have to work harder next time smile
