Secret Santa 2011-Ho Ho Ho let the fun begin!

Zapperzy

Thought I'd bump this up as it's gone a bit dead.

Will have mine posted on Monday.

Got my presents today, not fully happy but they are still good

Shazanne

Its hard to be fully happy with what you get. But I don't think thats the purpose of it anyway. It's the sheer fun of getting the presents, wrapping them and sending them and then waiting for the post to come to you:D I just love it!!! Don't care what I (I mean the dogs:eek:) get - its the fun of it I love!!;)

Cherry Blossom

Gah! Forgot the feckin cat lol.

Its going to be Wednesday before I get mine out, simply can't any sooner with work etc.

Wrapped and ready to go! In a flash of mentalness today had the "bright" idea of embellishing one of the presents ....errr...glad my SS wont be able to read :D

Whispered

Got mine today. I left it too late to order anything online, so I don't think I got very good value for money, I'd forgotten how expensive pet shops can be!! But I like what I got and I hope my SS's do too!

Will wrap and post tomorrow.

tazwaz

i'm nearly sorted, must get a card and then i can post it.. it's soo exciting now

Zapperzy

Mines wrapped and ready to go. I apologize if my SS gets an odour de cat off mine, a certain four legged furry decided to help me wrap it! :rolleyes:

anniehoo

Ok, mine went out in the post this morning. Roll on the 22nd

If anyone thinks they wont be able to send theirs this week,for whatever reason (things happen) can you PM Adrenalinjunkie to let her know. We all should have our pressies by Dec 15th the latest.Theres no crazy snow like last year so fingers crossed theres no delays.

If you havent received yours by the 15th (ish) let us know and the relevant SS can be contacted...dont want a sad doggy/kitty on the 22nd

Yet... There was snow up here (letterkenny) this morning and the gap was meant to be very bad.

Kali_Kalika

Mine is all wrapped and in the box (still need to 1) Remove the cat 2) seal it up and address it!) And pre-appologies to our SS about the whiff of cat from the box - despite having tunnels (a cat one from the pet shop and a kids one from Argos) and 2 cat tents - boxes are his fetish! :rolleyes: He just can't resist, everytime I pass it I pull him out of it and close it up - seconds later he's back in :rolleyes: I'll try and get him out for good before posting it off to the SS! But no guarantee on that! :rolleyes::D

Unfortunately I wont be able to get it to the post office today due to Kali being at the vet for an injured dew claw (the "thumb" for dogs) which now has to be removed so between it all I dont see me getting it all packaged up and to the post office today - but it WILL be sent out tomorrow for sure!!

Shazanne

I wouldn't mind getting a parcel with a cat inside!! The cat might not be too keen tho - and either would my two resident canines!

Anyway - I cheated today and sent a girl from the office to the Post Office to send my parcels off. But she returned, cold and not pleased at being sent to begin with, with the parcels still in her hands:eek: Apparently I have to put them in padded envelopes or they will fall apart in transit:rolleyes:
So will have to try again tomorrow! And wont have anyone to send as they tell me its Childrens Allowance Day in the Post Office so noone will join the queue!!!

mymo

Thank doG, last bits arrived in the post today, wrapping later and will have to post on Wednesday morning as working until 7pm with no chance of getting to post office tomorrow.
But having fun here choosing wrapping paper and cards.
I may even start on my people cards list now:o bit slow this year!

belongtojazz

One of my (sorry the dogs) parcels arrived today...all the way from Canada!!

How exciting is that

toadfly

Gonna post mine tomorow or Wednesday at the very latest

Allgäuerin

ALL parcels wrapped (took ages as Molly & Alfie don't like to share ). Will be in the post tomorrow. Ho Ho Ho let the fun begin

minxie

Got mine ahem (pennys) today, travelled a long way too from Canada

Posting off mine in a few mins, sooo excited

Brilliant idea again guys, brightens up the soul I say

tazwaz

got my parcel posted this morn, apologies about the wrapping, it's some state

cant wait to recieve mine (my dogs) package, how am i going to wait till the 22nd to open it???

Whispered

Oh thank GOD my SS wont know who sent them their package as the wrapping is a disgrace.

Cherry Blossom

I'll just add myself to the dodgy packaging list - it needed to be modified as the packaging was too small for the pressie

Blogger50

Just been informed by hubby that a package arrived for me (Finn:D) this morning!

andreac

I have the present, but just need to find the time to wrap and post etc, must try get it sorted soon

Cherry Blossom

Oh, mines just arrived too, and its huge!

If everyone keeps me informed as well I won't have to go back and look at my list. I had a little copy/paste system going and sent all the details out almost on autopilot so I'm not entirely sure who got me.

Would be great if I don't have to go back and look at the list for any reason

Shazanne

Sent mine today:D Was standing in the endless queue in the post office thinking that I was sending pressies to make precious pets that I will never meet happy - lovely thought:)

Now all we have to do is keep watching out for the postmas.........:rolleyes:

Kali_Kalika

Just returned home to a missed package slip from the post office Funny enough its addressed to Kali - am hoping when I go and collect it they don't want her signature of approval for me to collect it :rolleyes::p I wonder if a muddy paw print on it would be acceptable? :rolleyes::D

Do you just want us to pm you to say when it's been sent/received?
