Apart from one late sending notification has everyone else sent now?

I got an unexpected book.
No note whatsoever.

Thank you so much my very Secret Santa.

I'm hoping mine makes it to it's destination! I sent it on the 15th of Dec.

My receiver should've received the gift by now. I sent a package later than his, and the other person received his package already.

I am exempt from prompt reporting the arrival of my gift as I am not home yet.

I should make it home Friday morning. I'm betting my gift arrived and I just don't know it yet.

I've not got mine, but didn't check mail today:jig:

Thanks for posting that picture. It reminded me to pack the old TomTom that we are giving to our friends hosting todays Christmas dinner. We keep forgetting and they do not live close by.

I love you Sheldon...in a non butt fucki.g way. Xxx. Pics tomorrow.

And I love you in the same way! :-D

If you sent yours later than his, wouldn't you expect yours to arrive later?

Here are my gifts from Sheldon. The Tshirt is a little bit small, but I guess I can stretch it...or lose weight. haha

I love the baking items, although one of the ramekins was broken, so only 3. The little spring form pans are perfect. I was thinking of buying some, so now I probably wont need to.

Thanks Sheldon. I love my gifts. xxx

Not strictly Secret Santa, but our family enjoyed Ali's fruitcake for dessert tonight and it was fabulous. Moist, sweet, fruity, delicious. Thank you, Ali!

So pleased to hear that Ortho. :)

And no police were called, in the end (see the dinner thread), so all has ended well. You just never know ... but I do think the fruitcake had a positive effect on the angry menfolk.

Yay! :-). Did the 4 cups make it ok?

Only 3 Sheldon. One was cracked in half. :(

:-( bad Santa! :-(

haha...oh well, the rest of it was awesome, and I have others very similar to that, so although it's disappointing, I have to say, they weren't the high point of the gift for me anyway. xx

The mini powder sugar sifter? The cupcake corer? The t-shirt that looks fabulous on you? :-)

Oh I love the cupcake corer btw. Can't wait to give it a whirl.

Until I saw it at the store, I never knew such a thing existed. :-)

Worded wrong, I guess. I meant I sent my SS gift few days before I sent my friend's package off, and he got his already.

OK, I didn't see my SS package till the 24th since I took an unexpected 2 day trip to RI for a funeral. ANYwhooooooo .... Gift was under the tree till Christmas morning. Thank you so much ClodSanta!!!! I have never seen this book before. I absolutely lurve it. ;) Best material gift of the year.

As a bonus, Dan-ta as he is known this time of year got a little something in the mail from that "Iran Island" - lol. I think we got it straight this time. The interesting thing is that he remembered your real name. Fascinating what power emotions have on the brain. Thank you so much Limey-Santa.
The decorations went right onto the tree and he is hiding the goodies from the rest of us for his own personal consumption. :)

SOOOO jelly of those ornaminks

You're welcome! Part 2 will get there eventually, I promise.

Part 2 ??? Already forgot about that.... Oh my. I cannot wait.
I'm gonna try to rehydrate some Honeys and some Hens this weekend with my father and see what they taste like. We have some that are 3 years old. I occasionally eat them like chips or add to soup. This should make them a little more fun.

Limey! He's amazing! Made my day! Made my hole weak!

I wanna hug him, but he's too little!

The mermaid and mud skipper are perfect side kicks!

I thought the mermaid was a squid at first because she was upside down.

So. Jealous.

Very cool!

Those poor creatures, the things they'll see... and feel. :unsure:

And have washed out of their hair! ;-)

I had to work on Christmas Eve, and it was dark by the time I got home. (who the hell gets their oil changed at 5:30 pm on Christmas Eve???) Anyhow, I didn't see this package as I walked up to my house until I opened the screen door! Woo hoo!!

I opened it on Christmas Day and SonofV was the photographer of record. Here are his results.

I must say, zippyt, your intelligence is unmatched. I have no interest whatsoever in discovering and expelling the mole you clearly have embedded in my organization. These are *perfect*. Thank you, thank you. After a little quality time to chill out (in the freezer), I enjoyed a Christmas Bourbon in your honor. Cheers!

A brief word as to the delay in posting these pictures. The external hard drive on which I store almost all of my pictures had a scary but thankfully non-fatal failure on Christmas Day. When I tried to launch Picasa, the organizational tool I use for the hundreds of thousands of pictures I have, my computer responded "Drive P: is not formatted. Do you want to format it now?" :eek: NONONONONONOnonononononononono thank you very very much. I was able to resuscitate the drive with an eask chkdsk /f, but one of the casualties was the index file for Picasa. :sadface: Only this morning has Picasa returned to full functionality. The named faces part of the library took the biggest hit; I now have over 47,000 unnamed faces left to identify.

I've only just seen this and am so glad the parcel didn't get lost for too long by the assorted postal services. I tried to pack enough chocolate critters so that everyone in your family could have one! Naughty Dan!

Does my recipient like my gift?????? That's what I'm wondering. :p:

Today I got a really Really useful gift of a wind-up torch/lantern/phone charger from the lovely Lola Bunny! We get power cuts in the winter, and it'll also be useful at our summer music camps. Thanks SO much!

Good , Glad you like your goodys !!!!!

You're welcome. Glad it's useful. :D

OK, it came a few days ago, but I've been on a few deadlines...

Thank you so much Santa Clods :) We love it.

I got this in the post a couple of days ago. Thanks Monster! Most appropriate and made me smile a lot :D

oh ha, glad it made it :) The beads have been sat on my desk for several months now waiting to be strung and mailed :o I ended up having Banana Lady take the parcel and mail it when she got back to give me a deadline for getting the damn project finished. They were made just for you, there are no others like them :) (yet..... ;) )

Awesome!

I suspected banana lady's involvement as this was clearly posted in UK. Thanks again! Will turn the pic round when I get to a PC.

I have to confess that I am Buster's SS and I still haven't sent a gift. I have not forgotten you though Buster, and I have a plan to send your gift soon.

#worstsecretsantaever :(

Like this?

I wish.

You're in good hands buster. It's not me, this time.

But, but, she could be the #bestsecretcupidever if she includes some topless selfies and calls it an early Valentine's Day gift.

Hey lady. Not to worry mate. ;)

Thanks Buster. X

Ahem. Search your conscience and your camera roll. Have YOU posted pics of your Secret Santa gift? If not, please do, or you're on report.

Limey has contacts who have nothing better to do, since the break up of the USSR. You do not want them coming for the pictures, you really don't. :whip:

I'll get :santa: to do a roll call tomorrow, if'n you're not careful!
