[RedThorn]

real sorry PB

[Brengirl]

I have just tried to recap RedThorn. Did you have a SS and if so are you going to show us?

[RedThorn]

My pressie was to see all your joy Brengirl

[Jeanied]

Aaww RT - that is so sweet!!! OK Brengirl, I'll hold him down and you can give him a granny kiss!

[Nicos]

Same here PB!!

[Brengirl]

Aaww RT - that is so sweet!!! OK Brengirl, I'll hold him down and you can give him a granny kiss!

Lol. Are sure he is quite ready for this

[bobleponge]

Mine still not turned up either. Sniff sniff

[RedThorn]

you don't need to hold me down for a hug!

[Bren In Pots]

This had turned into a Headache for you RT so you need all the hugs you can get.

I'm not giving up on my prezzie so me, Bob, Becki and the others will continue to sit on the front step and wait for postie to turn up.

Did the people who have sent parcels that have gone missing / not arrived get a certificate of posting,? if so chase them up on that, not sure how but check at local post office where posted.

[RedThorn]

Happy to report 2 more parcels have turned up! Thank you Sarz for helping chase via faceache!

leaves 10 in total

2 we know about, (late or not home) leaving 8

2 people completely MIA so no idea if they arrived or not (don't even know if they posted their's!)

which leave 6 I can chase up on. 5 have been confirmed posted and I will be PM'ing the grapes and asking if they have proof of postage / can chase the parcels

Sorry to say THANK YOU so late - bad teenager (BT) was too lazy to activate firewalls resulting in graphic porn (to me anyway, couldn't shut comp down fast enough) regardless of what button I pressed, thank god for a mate good at IT. BT thinks this is hilarious - lets see him laughing when he finds he can no longer access facebook..........

Rant over - I was mostly distressed that I wouldn't be able to thank SS properly and I must because I was over the moon with my pressies.

I think I've done this right, hopefully there are pictures!

SS must know me - I love the home made jams especially as I'm down to the last jar of my own (BT again) the plum especially was a revelation I thought I didn't like plum jam but this is yum. The Elderflower - my god nectar, BT liked that alot but won't be getting anymore (because its mine, all mine....) and the honey has me intrigued. Its lovely and light and boy can you taste flowers. I'm no expert honey-wise but I reckon this is good stuff. Given the address on the honey label seems to match the post code I'm wondering if SS lives very close to the source or even SS makes honey!

Anyway my present was wonderful, brought tears to my eyes - thank you again and I'm off to use the bath bombs

I hope you and your son are feeling a bit better now! Rest up the 2 of you, take it easy, all the best for the new year!!! ((HUGS)) to make you all feel better!

Thanks IJ - especially for the hugs. Still catching up on rest but otherwise OK.

For lost parcels you need to hope that the posters had proof of posting otherwise not a lot will happen. They may turn up but......

As for those MIA I suppose the only thing to do is chalk it up to experience, and keep records - if this is run again next Christmas then those names can be passed confidentially to who ever organizes it and they can be quietly ignored.

Since these people will know who they are one might hope they will consider the adage 'better late than never' and do the honorable thing. There may after all be reasons for non posting and slow replys to pm's.
