Definitely going to follow this one. Especially in light of guideline number 6.

Guaranteed.

I should write my return address in disappearing ink? I'm the only one in my freakin time zone, probably. For me to succeed here I need another address of a willing remailer.

Hmmm. You say that like it's a bad thing. For me, the pleasure truly is in the giving.

totally.


I need 7 more people to confirm they got their recipient details, and anyone who didn't get a recipient and was expecting one to contact me right now -I had a back up plan in case anyone was accidentally left out, but it involved delaying someone's message by a day or so and they are raring to go! :lol:

Hmf....I apologise in advance for my wrapping.

T-man wanted to *help* and wanted the package to look like a spider...weirdo.

Oh and the Customs slip makes it hard to keep a secret.

Errr, there may be a few little dribble marks too...Addi was also helping by providing the Christmas cheer and singing " secret santa, ho ho ho'ed n so so so'ed till the wind blowed blowed blowed".

BigV 12-04-2007 10:56 AM

er... yeah. wrapping.

dammit! I **KNEW** I forgot something!

Cicero 12-04-2007 11:03 AM

Mine is sooo goood. Well I would like it. I would be charmed....But people are so picky...ya just never know....It's still "in the shop" so I may have to mail it later- but I'll do it overnight once it's done...hopefully it will be there on time!!

Can it be a little late if it's awesome?

Your "what" is soooo good? The wine or the bottle?

If it was me I would say "Yes, absolutely" but you might have to give up your Secret status and give the person a little warning. Otherwise you might see a lot of posts from your recipient saying,"Not, here yet. Am I the only one without one? Monster, where is mine?" etc etc

monster 12-04-2007 03:12 PM

Cic, just get it mailed this week and you'll be good....

My dear, the wine I choose and the bottle, are usually both better than good.......There's really no question of that...But I was referring to the present topic; the present and wrapping etc. etc. And I apologize if I left it (again not the wine or the bottle) so open to interpretation!
:p

Sundae, I have been made aware of certain facts, and although you made a good suggestion, at this point it isn't necessary to send a late notice....and that is where I have to shut my big......
:D

Thanks again, Monster!!

BigV 12-04-2007 04:10 PM

Ok. Once more. Are you saying you picked a good present, or are you saying you wrapped it well? Or are you saying something else?

Cicero 12-04-2007 04:20 PM

Well Big, I thought the present was going to be really good, and the wrapping was going to be ok....

But:

Upon further reading, the present is crap...:(
Not what this person wanted at all...but I made some effort so I'm sending it....maybe I'll have better luck next year when I have more money....

We have learned a lesson here about my choices in wine, self-pride, and how quickly it all can crash and burn!

Maybe someone could send me a fire-extinguisher.
