I haven't guessed right yet. I'd love to know who my Secret Santa was so I could thank him/her.

I haven't guessed. I tried. I saw the sticker on the back of the envelope and thought maybe it was monster...but then the name on the sender details said 'Pam' . I don't know who pam is but I am pretty sure it ain't monster!

So, now I am confused :P I wuold certainly like to know. But if my SS wants to remain secret I'll respect that :P


Talking of Secret Santas, here's a little update:

The chocs were bloody lovely! I ate the last one yesterday. Mum helped me with a few :P They were some of the nicest chocs I've had in years. Told my family about the gifts and my eldest niece was seriously impresed with the Burt's Bees stuff. I have never heard of them before (I was just blown away that someone sent me something Bee-related :P Got a lump in my throat on that one: in a good way) But apparently they're well-known. She has a Burt's Bees lip balm which she really loves. So someone from America sending a Burt's Bees selection had big kudos value with her.

Pilau has successfully destroyed three of the plastic balls on the chew toy, and is very proud of himself. Must be a well-made toy to last this long! Most of his toys are shredded/dismantled/broken into tiny pieces within half an hour at the most. He's had at least two hours of play altogether and the toy still lives! remarkable. He obviously likes it because every so often he drags it from amongst his toys and scoots off to the sofa with it, without any encouragement needed from me. Very happy dog.


[eta] further update: Pil's just removed the final plastic ball from the toy lol. It is now a rope circle with little rubber collars around it. Now comes the fun of shredding the rope!

Hiya Sammy! I'm from Houston. I hope the Scottie dog is sitting on your table. If you have trouble with replacing the battery to the clock, let me know. I can do that for you.

And I'm your second-striking-Secret-Santa,* SamIam. Was running a little behind, sorry

(*The cat thingies are erasers)

OK, I thought my SS was Tulip, as my gift was mailed from Houston. Now I'm confused! Who else is from Houston...Juniper, was it you?
