All delayed packages *should* be gone out by tomorrow

Since we're posting pics -

This little lady was almost included but I decided it wouldn't be fair on the poor Boardsie that got stuck with her, this has been confirmed by the amount of trouble some have had and the thought put in by a lot of you to get something special. I'll make it up to her, I know the things she likes best anyway

I got the present! I got the present!! Nowwww roll on 22nd December! What time?!!

Cant wait! I didnt tell him about it but I think he knows!!!

I think I know who send me the present but will wait awhile.
I hope the person I gave the present will like it!

I expect the thread to be very busy all day on the 22nd Wouldn't be fair to name a time as people have different commitments etc. Not in the middle of the night though, after normal getting up time! Anyone who posts pics of their pressie at 12:01am is a cheater

Think I've just figured out who I got a pressie for (based on some of the pics... well I think so) I've had a note from the post office so am sending my Dad off to the sorting office tomorrow grumbling "you're a bl00dy mad woman, secret santa for the dog" under his breath

TooManyDogs

I got mine today!!!!!

But the postman tried to stuff it through the letterbox and some of the paper is ripped....

MUST

NOT

LOOK.....

I'm glad I'm not the only one! Every time I tell someone that me and my lab are doing an animal secret santa they look at me like I'm crazy.

I just hope my dog doesn't eat the wrapping off hers before the 22nd.........;)

I One of my pets got one! Its a big one too, she was leaping at it Roll on the 22nd - brightened my day after a bloody awful day!

This is great seeing it all come together! Only 8 out of 27 left to arrive, unless I've missed something, in which case it's less

Thats great. Hopefully in a couple of days you can relax after all your organising!

Am really enjoying this!

My dad is staying with us at the moment after a very bad fall and when I was wrapping everything and explaining it to him he looked at me like I had ten heads

toadfly

Got the second parcel yesterday so Im all set!:D

Whispered

Everything is here now. Safely under the tree. Waiting. until the 22nd.

Blogger50

I got mine! Or should I say Finn got hers! Thankfully got mine posted today as well! Phew!

Cherry Blossom

If anyone has sent packages with the present and card inside and it's safe to open the 'outside layer', PM me and I'll pass on the info. I'm sure they'll look prettier under their trees and the person can read their card.

Whispered

If the cards are anything to go by I have great expectations for the pressies

My husband has gone from thinking I'm mad to being like the devil in my ear telling me that nobody will know if I open them early. :eek: I promise I wont.

I didn't even think, just opened the brown packaging and the pressie was wrapped up inside!

It would't cost me a thought to do the same, with any package that arrived

How do you know he hasn't opened them himself and re-wrapped them!

She doesn't look very happy about it! :pac: Maybe it's just because I can't see her ears.

Shes not happy about wearing a hat

sambuka41

Woo hoo i got mine today!! Didnt think the postman would be around on a sunday!!

duracell_bunny

Roll on the 22nd. I had to move mine/Bailey's from under the tree as every time I turned my back she started to unwrap it.


(oops I think I just gave myself away there!)

anniehoo

Still no sign of mine Beanies!:p:o

Ah well i s'pose it gives me less time staring at it under the xmas tree wondering what it is!

Cherry Blossom

It should be with you in a day or 2 anniehoo Just the last 5 to go now!

So far the longest it has taken for 1 to arrive is 2 weeks, it arrived today with the paper torn but intact so it's been on a little adventure :P With the last ones gone out on Friday they have 12 days to make it in time, but I really hope they all arrive by end of this week or I'll have a heart attack !!

minxie

I have just realised ive signed the card with my name :eek:

Funny I had my money on either Beanie or Poppy being last, but obviously not because she got her's too :D It has 2 little bells on the ribbon

Cherry Blossom

i-digress

Roxie got a cute and very mysterious card with hers. I can't wait to find out who sent it

tazwaz

Blogger50

Is that everyone now AJ? Just wondering because I really I want to make sure that my furry friend got the ones I sent

Panicking because I was late posting mine:rolleyes:

tommy21

Got mine ... I think! Have the black lung here so avoiding going out in a desperate attempt to recover, but had it delivered to my gf's workplace. She says it rattles and is all packaged up

Shamanic

I popped 13's under the tree the other night and everytime I've came home she's been sitting on top of it!!!

Shazanne

Black lung? What in God's name is that??!! It certainly does not sound too pleasant! Poor you - I hope you get better for Secret Santa on the 22nd - which is the "real" Christmas for all of us:D:D

TooManyDogs

I'm getting worried now, my secret santa hasn't thumbs up-d to say they got theirs yet, what do we do if parcels get lost in the post?

This is last one <ETA As in, if it is the pressie as he suspects, all have arrived safely > Sorry!! I haven't been online today as this is the only ice and snow free day we have had so I was rushing about all day finishing my 'other' shopping! It's snowing again now :rolleyes:

TooManyDogs

All the stockings hanging off my mantle waiting for 22nd of December!

(well except for the baby, she has to wait for santa!)

Whispered

Beautiful! Where did you get them? I was looking for a small one for the dog and 2 cats, but the only ones I can find are giant ones with santas etc. :rolleyes:

Looks so cosy. I hate seeing pics of other boardsies houses - makes me look around and crinkle my nose at my teeny tiny sitting room. :pac:

TooManyDogs

I had the same problem as you, couldnt find anything but huge stockings so ended up making them!

I think the photo must make my sitting room look bigger than it is cos it's 1 of the 2 rooms I have downstairs Old fishermen's cottages are far from big!

kildareash

Aw, that is too cute, Toomanydogs!

I caught little handmade mittens for us, matching ones for the dogs, one for me and one for himself.

Can't wait to open the pressie. Haven't left it under the tree for fear the boys will figure out its for them and try open it!

Ha,ha, there are no presents under my tree for fear they will be opened between the impatient 4 yr old and the paper shredding dog!
