I'm very down that my recipient hasn't received.
Feel a bit teary actually.

I'm SO sorry.
You'll get it at some point, but by my standards it will be too late - you're already disappointed :(

I can't believe it...I actually managed to hold off opening my parcel til Christmas morning!

I'll give details and post pics later: for now, just wanted to say thanks so much Zipp! Sweet toothed cravings, and culininary curiosity satisfied in one big box of awesome :) Thankyou and Merry Christmas Santa!

Secret Santa
 

:)
This was the perfect combination of surprising and useful. THANK YOU!

Is that a 2700 carat ruby in the lower right?

Glad you like it Dani !!


I cant tell you how Hard it was to restrain my self from sending you a Pm , implying you NEED to go ahead and open the Package ( haven't you heard the Mewing and scratching yet ?????!!???)

OK my secret santa is Wolf, and she got me cocaine! Four big bricks of it.

It's colored and scented like fudge to throw off the smell. What a pro!! And there's also a thingie that you attach to the bottoms of your feet to get through ice and snow. Thanks Wolf! :wolf:

I need some of those springy things. For my brother.

The fudge looks yum! :drool:

cassi, your gift looks awesome. They all do!

Finally unwrapped my presents here at home very late Christmas Day/early Boxing Day except for Secret Santa which alone waited until now, midday Boxing Day just before I start raiding the leftovers for lunch.

Thank you very much to Fargon and (sorry if I have this wrong) Kery for the lovely kitten calendars with - of course - American special dates on it, starting with Martin Luther King's Birthday in January. I'll hang it in the kitchen and will be bothering you with questions about who what and why the specific dates are.

Now to create a cold collation for me and my cats. First, try to upload the photos...

Oh two apologies - one to Keryx, obvious on re-reading and second to everyone for the HUGE pics, which are gigantic and I don't know how to make them smaller. If anyone does know how to reduce them, please fell free! Thank you again SS :):)

Oh yes, PS The two sleepy cats are Feathers the longhaired Tabby mix and her dinky daughter Daisy

Cz, thank you so much for mine!
I had to abandon two long held beliefs - first that your name was Catherine (thinking it through I think that came from Catherine Zeta Jones) and that you lived in rural abandon somewhere almost inaccessible in Somerset, as opposed to in a seaside town. In fact I was being fiarly careful with my details there, only to find you've shown all the details on the picture of the envelope above! I've now Google-mapped you, and feel confident I can find your flat :)

Pics to follow - I was so excited I'm afraid I didn't go through the stages of unwrapping with my camera... They were also opened at the same time as the family presents, as opposed to me sitting down alone on 15 December and coolly documenting the process. It was more fun this way I admit.

Sadly I've had the worst Christmas since I was 15 (and for the same reason - Mum) so the joy I felt on opening on Christmas morning was muted by the afternoon, and I'm posting over 24 hours later. But please believe this is nothing to do with how much I appreciated the gifts themselves, which were carefully chosen for the maximum pleasure :)

Stick to planes, Merc.

Oh SG I'm really sorry you've had a rough Christmas, probably the toughest day of the year to get right and the very worst when it goes pearshaped. I hope some bright spots emerged and that today was better. At least it's almost over for another year and then we do it all again..:neutral:

Honest, I had no idea the pictures would download/upload so HUGE, you could probably take fingerprints off it as well as that rather chic bootprint, probably from my postman and his size twelves. And yes there is my name & address slap in the middle! I'm pleased you googled it though and the dark haired man standing on the doorstep in 'Google Live' is the guy who used to live in the flat upstairs from mine. See how close to the sea I live.

I so hope you get some pleasure from your gifts, that was after all the plan and hope the batteries hadn't drained:biggrin:

Hope you enjoy the fudgy-goodness, UT. The orangey one is butterscotch and the beige is maple walnut. The chocolate is chocolate ... and yes, that is the famous momwolf fudge.

The Yaktrax should get you both to work and give you a fighting chance when you do some dogwalking during one of our plentiful ice storms.

Joyous Boxing Day to all!
