Got mine posted at lunchtime! The queue was out the door at the post office - I was trying to suss out other people's parcels in case there was a API pets name on any of them lol!

I had the same issue where I went, and a fight even broke out.

Gotta love December...

Ah I love to see my pm box so busy

Almost all presents have either been sent or accounted for, there's still 3 users I'm waiting for confirmation from, so we're almost there now!

Posted mine today. Now trying not to chew my fingernails to the palm from anxiety about whether someone else's pet will be satisfied. Sigh.

Haha I feel a tad like that! Keep reminding myself that animals aren't nearly as picky as us humans!

A package for creamy boy was waiting for me when I got into work this mornring. It's jingling. He's gonna go crazy

tk123

Yaay 2 parcels just arrived in work! Neither had a pets name on them.... so I had to have a little peek inside the card stuck to the front of one of them so I'd know which parcel is for which dog

Knine

A second pressie arrived. I'm not sure if it is for the fish or Piggie. I might have to give it a little rattle

Oooh Hiros just arrived!

Kovu

Panda's prezzie arrived! I really apologise to her SS fir the headwreck but I'm sure she'll love anything:):D She spent ten minutes eating my hoodie last night and then tried to climb through a gate. Daft eejit.

angeldaisy

Tara's ss has just arrived! Although she was more interested in chasing the postman (from behind the gates!!) than the parcel - but I'm sure that will soon change:D

Posy

Jill's present arrived this afternoon! \o/
I think I'm nearly more excited than she is.

SillyMangoX

All presents have been sent or accounted for and 24 have arrived! Came home to packages for the other kitties, Dude is trying his hardest to eat his envelope, must be something nice in there

Dubl07

The parcel I sent is back in the depot after an attempted delivery. :-/

Same here. And I was so excited about my recipient getting their parcel!

Jen Pigs Fly

1/4 has arrived so far!

SillyMangoX

I wouldn't worry too much about that, it's usually just that no one was home when the post man came so they bring it to the depot for the person to collect themselves, once they're collected before the opening date on the 22nd it should all be grand

baby and crumble

Yeah i missed a delivery, going to pick it up tomorrow.

Alicat

I put my parents' address down as my Dad tends to be home a lot, and I told him to watch out for it... He better not have missed it!

Btw, does the secret stay secret?? Or do people talk about it afterwards?

Your voucher is also on it's way

I'll leave that up to a vote! If more than half the participants agree (so 23 or above) I'll publish the names of who got which pet with spoilers for those who don't want to know!

So! If you DO want the results published, please thank this post

Yay khalis parcel arrived today! She ran to it like she knew!
That's my two accounted for now.

Kamili

I missed a delivery too, hoping to go collect it today

Kovu

Squeaks arrived!
And poor Kovu is sick, he puked on my carpet at 5 this morning and again in the kitchen at 9. He's been put on sparse dry food rations now and he's asleep out on the oil burner with a warm arse getting the head blown off himself with wind

My own parcels are going to be a little late as I'm waiting on one final thing to put in two of them but got a confirmation email that they were with the courier yesterday so hoping today/tomorrow they can go!

Knine

I got my last 2. The Merry Fishmas card sure made us laugh & Gizmo's pressie had a rather lovely hand drawn Guinea Pig Picture.

Siiiiigh. The 22nd is soooooo far away!!!

Alicat

One package has arrived apparently! Not sure which cat it's for but hopefully when the two arrive I'll be able to tell the difference

Edit: It's for Riggs! He's licking the paper :pac:

Bebo stunnah

Baileys SS arrived on Friday night
From what I've heard An Post has a backlog of packets and parcels, so deliveries might take an extra day or two!

no wonder damn doorbell broke! typical!

Zapperzy

Received a parcel in the post this morning, not sure who it's for but both cats are sniffing wildly at it

Kamili

Collected Echo's, had to hide it away, he's definitely decided it belongs to him!

Roll on opening day, the Fuzzy Ninja can't wait!

awanderer

Only 12 days left to figure out how to upload a video on the thread .

pampootie

Parcel arrived this morning! Pa is very very interested in it so it's hidden away in a wardrobe, didn't fancy it's chances under the tree!

baby and crumble

Urrgggh, I really hope the package for Shade is still in the depot, this week has been mad and our depot is ages away. I tried to redirect it and it says its returned to sender but when I do track and trace it says it's still there... Fingers crossed I can get it this evening. If not, I'll obviously refund any cost involved in sending it again, I am SO SORRY.

EDIT: Crisis averted, it was there. Now it's here!!!

Posy

Yaaaay! \o/

Upload to YouTube and then you just use

LittleMissDiva

Molly's presents have arrived! might enter myself next year too to get the same amount of presents. Guess my two will spend more time opening their prestens than I do ;-)

Alicat

Lily's arrived this morning!

Soups123

Received mine Tyson's today

My dogs are just wondering if there's anyway we can move opening day up to say... The 12th??

ShaShaBear

Got my missed mail sleeve in the post today according to my brother. Can't pick it up until Monday!

anothernight

Julie's present made it to my mum's house in Ireland today. Yay! Now I just need her to forward it to me.

Many thanks to the sender, who was sooooo kind to deliver it in person when An Post messed up the delivery. You're a star!

Funny late last week a mail went in work about office SS....which I didn't sign up for as my hands were full with pet SS... Anyways all day yesterday the shelf thing in the middle of the office where sweets are normally left out etc filled up with presents and they all opened them in the afternoon!! I felt hard done by thinking of the two dog's presents that have AGES left before we can open them!

AGES is right! When you think about it there's ten days left right? But that's like 70 dog days or something! That just seems extraordinarily cruel!

ShaShaBear

To whoever got Opie, I want to say I'm soooo sorry if the package has returned to you!
I went into labour at 6am Tuesday morning and we only got back home with baby Claire late Wednesday night. I stayed in my mother's and my brother has been dogsitting - he told me the slip only came but I am just in the door and see it was attempted on the 8th! I'll try and collect it Monday morning if possible, but if you want to pass on Paypal details for yourself to SillyMangoX I will gladly pay for a resend!
