2010 Pass the Parcel Seed Swap - trying to locate parcels

[zazen999]

The Seed Swap Pass the Parcel will soon be up and running again - we just need to find some parcels.

We had 13 parcels.

I have possession of 4 parcels.
weegarden has one
Shirl the Girl has one
chrissie has one, she is sending it to me

We need to find the location of the following - so I have posted who the last known person was that had the parcel.

Sunflower96 had one parcel, it was supposed to go to Planetologist - but it never arrived.
Droppey had one parcel, it was supposed to go to Wifey34 but was being chased
wifey 34 was sent another parcel, to be sent on to magiccat
plainsailing had one parcel it was supposed to go to twinsane PS is checking to see if the postage receipt can be found
flump had one, it was supposed to go to mendacious dog
chrissie the chippy had one, it was supposed to go to sweetiepea
sweetiepea was sent another one, it was supposed to go to weekend wellies.

So, I want to get this up and running again, but we need to find the whereabouts of the missing parcels. I know a couple of people PM-ed me that they had them; but I didn't want to pass other addresses on whilst there was a postal strike on.

If you see your name above; please Post on here the current situation. If you don't then please don't post on here - any chit chat will be deleted.

Once I have identified some locations; I'll be asking for names to put on the list to start sending them out again.

Many thanks everyone.

Edit - If we can't trace them by the end of Jan; then I'm donating the ones I've got to gardening charities/schools and sending the lovely recent donation back to it's benefactor in France.

Next on list for sending:
shirl to send to krshna - once krshna posts on here to check address
planteologist
weekendwellies
magiccat1978
mendacious dog

I still haven't received the parcel I was supposed to get from Sunflower96. Do you want me to send a PM? I'm still keen to participate.

Sorry about the late response, I haven't been on for a while.

Just got that - shame it stops at 'received in United Kingdom'.....means we can't trace it further...

[weekendwellies]

I will let you know if I hear anything further from Royal Mail.

WeekEnd Wellie Parcel

The parcel did arrive in the UK in early November, but Royal Mail did not use the track and trace system (as is normal procedure) during/after the strike. An Post are still trying to trace it from this end. If I hear anything further I'll let you know, but it looks like Royal Mail have lost it.

Apologies for not posting sooner - I've just got back from Budapest. You think its cold over here...?! Wow. Minus 7 yesterday in some parts over there.

I havent recieved anything from the seed swap parcel as yet, but its very snowy here in the North East and things like postmen, binmen, gritters and the like have been really struggling to get round. Fingers crossed that once the weather picks up a little things will ease.

I'll post if anything happens.

Woof
