Oooooooooh, Sheldon, there's only a few of us over here ....

And how gutted do I feel now...?

My gift that I want to send over the Pacific still hasn't arrived here yet. I fear my recipient is not going to have their pressie before the big day. :(

eta: Because I think a lot of my recipient, I'll be doing my utmost to try and make sure it does though. I might have to go and stick it on a plane myself even!!!

Why do you feel like that Sundae?

Really? What happened to all the people? :-)

dragons ate 'em.

Sundae, you've got JB to look forward to instead! And seeing Dana and me!! :)

Because I'd have loved to get a gift from Shel!
Yeah, am not really sulking. Just indulging myself in a little regret for not joining in the funsies.
I knew buying and posting would have been a stretch, so I can't be a misery. And I get my Christmas treat in 23 days!

Still have to get my Secret Santa for school. At least there's no postage costs for that. But the Christmas Staff Room Buffet is £4. Ridiculous. I swear there will be leftovers equalling £20.
We paid £1 for jacket potatoes the other week - I wonder where the extra money went?

Gas , delivery fee ,,, etc,,,,,,

I used to do the same thing Back in the day ,
But my taco bell order shouldnt have been over $3 , and I gave you a 5 ???
Sorry dude Gas cost !

Thing is, it was organised by a Teaching Assistant who bought them in a local supermarket. She's a good person, so I don't suspect her of scamming us. It's just odd. She supplied butter as well as margarine, but when I went to look for it in the fridge yesterday it had gone. Now I'm pretty much the only butter eater in the staffroom, so someone's taken it home.

I think the office suggested she donated the extra money towards the Christmas buffet, rather than having to track everyone down to refund them 40-50p.

Note to self - take containers for leftovers on 14 December!

I could send you a basket of gay porn too! :-) hehehe

Being well acquainted with Bel Ami DVDs and James Lear's books, I would be extremely grateful ;)

Or they finished it.

Margarine-eaters go for the butter at every opportunity.

True dat.

She did admit that the reason she didn't buy butter at home was because her boys would eat it. Copious amounts of it, on any available comestible. When she buys spread they use only what they need.

The staff fridges are stuffed with Flora and Clover.
I imagine someone came across the butter and simply laid into it, eating it off the foil with a wooden spoon.

Where is Arthur C Clarke when you need him?
Oh yes, still dead.

I have one item for my Secret Santa package ready, need to hit a couple of stores to complete it, I think.

I got a couple things yesterday (including a handmade gift from Wolf) and need to pick up a few more before posting to recipient. Hoping to get it done by end of week.
This is gonna turn out to be a smorgasbord of goodies. :)
Thanks again Wolf!

You, sir, are quite welcome. I had a lot of fun, and I was in dire need of fun!

We are definitely getting together again ... much sooner than the 2 year span since our last meet! I'm thinkin January.

:bawling:
[envious ... wltm wolf and classic for some fun]

I was going to post something similar, then realised I'd actually moaned like a cheap whore already in this thread, so didn't dare.

Sounds like a fun trip though chaps.

Yabbut Sundae, we have our own GTG and they will be envious, right?

Zactly

We went to the mall. You go to Scotland.

Or the big island, as we call it over here!

I'm feeling a bit slack that I've never met any of our Aussie dwellars irl to date.

Maybe we should get our shit together? lol

It's not like you guys can say, "Well, let's meet in the middle, shall we?"

It would be like me going to see BigV and then swinging around to visit Elspode.

(I'm on the East Coast, BigV is on the West, and 'spode is in the middle)

At least Australians understand the concept of vastness. Although you have more big empty than we do.

I just happen to live within an hour of undertoad, classicman, jimhelm, richlevy, steve dallas, bruce, blue curacao, spexxvet and a couple of other folks I'm sure I'm forgetting to mention. Heck, there's a couple in that list that I've not managed to meet yet.

Yes that's true. It's about 20hours drive to where Zen lives from here. About the same to Sandypossum's place (from what I can gather from her posts) and Ducky used to live a fair way away, but she's only 4 hours drive now, which is really not much by Australian standards. Actually, probably closer to 5 from here, but who's counting. lol

Your meeting other Aussies IRL reminded me of this map someone sent me of Australia ;)

My secret santa gift is going in the mail today. Hopefully it'll get there before xmas although I'm not holding out too much hope at this stage. :(

Will there be a "Look what I got!!!!" thread?

You BET!!! :D

Isn't that what the Cellarites NSFW thread is for? ;-)

I've mailed part on my gift.

SS 2011 package is On the way

Gah you guys are scaring me. I just finished buying for mine. Now I have to do find the Christmas stuff - paper, tape, bows, boxes and all the trimmings to wrap, box and ship.

Classic , i dont wrap so well so mine is Verry plain ,
hope my victim doesn't care

Don't say that Zip..
Just say that you are going green this year and don't want to pollute the world with all the unnecessary ink, paper and and and stuff.

I didn't even put a card in mine this year. I just totally forgot, so my recipient will have to figure out who it came from. lol Shouldn't be too tough since my name is on the envelope.

Since mine went international, I had to put my name and address on it and fill out a contents sheet (although I skipped some of the contents) :-)

Umahhh! You know they're watching you right Shel? lol

I guess I better put my pants on then. ;)

I'm sure they wont mind either way. hehe

Sent! :)

Argh...I better get going with mine. :blush:

OMG ... Getting frustrated!

Mine is all wrapped and ready to go Monday morning.

About half of the hard work on mine is completed, need to find some fill-in stuff. And a box.

I am SOOO HAPPY right now. A MAJOR surprise is headed one dwellars way.
Have I mentioned how happy I am right now?

Is this where we post pix of our secret Santa gifts? I got mine already. Now all I have to do is send off my own secret Santa gifts. They should be shipped tomorrow. I hope my dweller likes them. :worried:

I thought we started a new thread in years past, but I'm not sure...

Start a new thread to show off what Santa sent. :D

Im pissed at me for not staging my comeback a bit earlier :(

Stupid life getting in the stupid way.

My package is on it's way.

My package has hit the post - should arrive later this week.
The anticipation is killing me!

You should have been here 5 months ago and then you'd have known all about it! ;)

I bought my gifts last weekend. I picked everything out myself, but Marci wrapped and packed them for me while I was at work today.

I'm getting worried now. I sent the gift on Nov. 25th. It should have gotten there by now.

You wanna play cricket too?

:p:

hehe...sure. My family Vs Yous? lol

I sent my package off today. They said it should arrive at its destination in 3-5 days. Oh, I hope my dweller likes it!
