Not according to the Royal Mail website. Still, we'll see. Posting mine today. I was feeling all behind-hand, then I read about people receiving theirs already and I just think too early, Too Early, TOO EARLY! I'd look sideways at a person who even sent me a CARD at the beginning of December!

I think mine is worth waiting for. But of course it's down to what my recipient thinks (bites fingernails)

I'm just glad the package I sent was received! WHEW!!!

DanaC · 12-02-2008, 11:20 AM

@ Sundae: yeah...well...mine had to go out when I was paid, anything after payday and there's unlikely to be funds to cover it lol.

Trilby · 12-02-2008, 05:07 PM

I am mailing my gift tomorrow!

I hope you like it!

This is done. It will remain UNOPENED in the refrigerator until Christmas.

This is half done. That is I have sealed the shipping container AND shipped it. Look for it on Friday or Monday (UPS Ground). It will be hard to miss.

Sounds big, V.

I just received my secret santa gift! Awesome, thanks!

this does create a bit of a worry for me though. It was my understanding that there were an odd number of participants so I was asked and volunteered to back out... I obviously messed up somehow. Organizers please let me know ASAP who I'm supposed to send to so I can fix my mistake. Sorry to whoever is waiting.

You ended up being the tip jar hitter, remember, since we had one sender who didn't want to be a reciever. One too many headers lately, huh?

lookout123 · 12-03-2008, 12:47 PM

can never have excessive head, er... wait, what?

Sundae · 12-03-2008, 01:43 PM

I've posted mine! And it was a long old wait in the Post Office I can tell you!

classicman · 12-03-2008, 08:08 PM

sounds like you opened it already lookout - you posting pics?

lookout123 · 12-04-2008, 12:33 PM

It was sitting on my desk when I opened up my office Monday. I assumed it was something sent by one of my vendors so opened it and found a gift inside. I saw the card made out to Lookout... and realized what it was. I promptly put it back the packing and will reopen it when I have my camera available so I can post pics. I'm not telling what it is until then, but it rocks.

Sundae · 12-04-2008, 03:08 PM

Is mine there yet? Is it there yet?
The only thing that clams me is that mine isn't here yet.
I told my (new) hairdresser all about it on Tuesday, she wants to know what I get. She told the beaty shop next door, and when I went in to get a token for my niece they wanted to know all about it too.

I'm far more excited about sending than receiving - I hope that doesn't sound like a feeble joke when my recipient get's their gifts. $15 is really not much when you factor in postage. REALLY.

If you get a gidr from me (and you will know it), please be excited. Like, even if you're not.
