jellybear

Awh thanks all!!:) I know BB, opening day is so far away Sure it'll be something to look forward to

I was planning to wrap it all up tonight but stuck in a stupid webinar! hoping to post tomorrow (if I get it wrapped!)

Choc Chip

I'm so jealous of everyone. I really wanted to do it this year but was just too busy to do it justice.

...Plus I got non-dogs last year and was traumatised.

ene

Posted both my presents... one was slightly heavier then I expected!!

jellybear

Awh you're all stars, lots of presents posted and some have even arrived

In random, completely unrelated news- got an email from Dogs Trust today to tell me I'd won a hamper from the Kinsale Food Company for holding a Pupcake Day in work

Knine

Mine were posted today

SillyMangoX

Mine will be off tomorrow morning, my dad decided to take down all the Christmas decorations and pile them on top of the presents, so once the decorations are up the presents will be off

Kajemo

Posted mine yesterday! Hope my Secret Santas like their pressies!!! :-)

jellybear

Doing really well, plenty of packages on their way now Hope you all enjoy the Toy Show later!

SillyMangoX

Is it sad that I bought paw-secco for the cats to have during the toy show since we will be having Prosecco?

Myself & my daughter had to watch it in Hospital last year so I am delighted we are in our own home this year although probably not a chance she will stay up until 9.30pm. She has already given me her list of sweets she wants

The girl in the post office said I made her week when we went in to post off the pressies. I told her about the Secret Santa for pets, she couldn’t believe it

jellybear

Awh Knine, enjoy every minute of the Toy Show tonight. You definitely deserve to!!

SillyMangoX, that's gas!!:D Hope they enjoy it

Yeah, loads of people I've told about it love the whole idea of a SS for pets

Zapperzy

I have to pick up one last bit tomorrow and I promise mine will be off in Monday's post!

Pm sent. Mine was posted!

em_cat

Pressies arrived today!!!!

Knine

Storm the Ringneck's present arrived today.

tylerdylan

Skye’s present arrived. She was sniffing like it was hers lol. Very disappointed when it was put out of her reach 😀

Zapperzy

Jesse's parcel arrived today, lots of sniffing! 😀

jellybear

Oh it's getting very exciting! Not too many parcels left to arrive

SillyMangoX

All of mine have arrived, I have them hidden in the spare room because Cream has taken to mauling the Christmas tree and anything under it. I thought moose would be the one causing problems with the tree, but no it’s the geriatric 9 year old cat who thinks he’s 6 months :pac:

Oh no! I just realized I forgot to include my secret Santa's Christmas cards!!! I was rushing like a mad yoke on Friday to get to the post office before they closed and I never even realised! Now both my SS are getting a box of pressies without so much as a Happy Christmas included!

And both of their Christmas greetings had puns on their names. What a waste!

Ok the prospect of sharing them with the whole forum has made me reevaluate just how bad they actually were and I now think it's for the best that I didn't send the cards! No more regrets! Thanks for that Kajemo!

I forgot the cards too...& I forgot that I forgot until your post...

jellybear

Ah lads, this is shocking :P

I'm actually very proud of the card I got. Cracked me up!!

Oh and I originally packed all my presents and then realised I hadn't wrapped them! Had to open the parcel and wrap them

Is anyone else struggling with the temptation to open presents?
The packages have been well and truly been shaken at this stage!

jellybear

I am delighted to announce that all presents have been delivered

Thank you all for making it such an easy process for me!

Now, roll on opening day!!:D

em_cat

Yeah, Holly, the golden oldie, pressie arrived today, thanks you secret Santa

My mum collected khalis parcel from the post office today for me as I was busy. When she walked in the door with it khali jumped up and tore the corner off the envelope. She never does anything like that! How did she know it was for her?!? She's mad to get at it now.

Sabre0001

Can't wait to see the pics of pets with their presents ^_^

Id just like to say a big thank you to jellybear for organising the Secret Santa this year. It all seems to have run to plan. Looking forward to opening day and seeing all your photos.

Awh sure it was my pleasure! It all ran so smoothly I have to say!:D

Milo is convinced there are treats in his pressie and keeps trying to get to open it!! It's hidden away but he's so good at sniffing it out!

SillyMangoX

Not long to go to the present opening

Definitely not too late :pac:

Zapperzy

I've left jesse's on a shelf in the spare room which they don't always have access to, every so often I find it on the floor and the tiny hole in the corner gets a little bigger :-)

jellybear

Ah feck it... by the powers invested in me...by the Christmas elves... I declare Secret Santa 2018 OPEN...a little early but sure why not

Enjoy!!

SillyMangoX

I shall be opening them tonight when my girlfriend is down for the weekend because she’s looking forward to seeing what they’ve got

Aaahh I don't think we'll have time to open ours until tomorrow! But I'll really really try to get home early enough to do it tonight cause the suspense and excitement is killing me!!! I put each parcel into a Christmas stocking and hung them up and Khali is constantly wandering into that room for a sniff! Hiro seems oblivious.
