Hi everyone. I have jumped on here quickly to ask if anyone would like to do SS this year? I am quite prepared to do it again if we want it. I'm just asking for expressions of interest so that people can keep their eyes open for suitable gifts. Especially those that will send OS.
Here are our rules for this year. Much the same as last year
Everyone who wishes to be involved MUST pm me their full name and address, IF IT HAS CHANGED SINCE LAST YEAR. I still have last year's information. Not your forum name. I will put a list of participants on the forum as I receive them.
By joining in SS you are committing yourself to sending someone a gift.
You must acknowledge receipt of your gift on the forum so that your SS (and the moderators) know it has been received.
The cut off date for entries is 28thSeptember, 2014. This may seem early but it will give people that need to post overseas the chance to do so. I will do the 'draw' as soon as possible after this. (The car rally will be over then, but only just!)
You must have 100 posts as of 25th August, 2014 to join in.
Participants will need to purchase a gift for their SS to the value of approximately $20. Remember postage will be additional to this.
Gifts must be posted no later than 5th December, 2014, for those in Australia and much earlier if overseas.
Participants that don't reply to 3 pm's or emails from moderators concerning SS will be deleted from the list. If you have any problems after your SS is allocated please let me know as we will probably be able to work around it, with some swapping.
Please indicate to me via pm if you DO NOT want an overseas SS.
These guidelines may be changed at any time by the Moderators if the need arises.

I don't post here much but do still come on most days to see what everyone is up to so would love to be included again. I've enjoyed the excitment of both buying and receiving the last two years. Thanks for organising
-
Yes please and thank you Cookie
-
I'm in as well, thanks Cookie!
-
I'd love to join in again this year. Thanks, Cookie. :)
-
Sign me up please Cookie :)
-
Count me in too please. Thank you cookie :)
-
Yes please Cookie.
-
Just thought I would bump this topic to remind people to put their names forward to Cookie if they are interested to participate this year. ;D
-
Thanks CC. I hope to sort this when I get home and well before Tasmania. I will send pm's as soon as I do it.
-
Thanks cookie, I want to post before 30 September to get surface mail and before we start next treatment cycles.
-
I won't be home until the 28 th DJ. But I guess there isn't much ( except time) stopping me doing the draw here in Busselton. I will do my very, very best for you.
-
28th is fine cookie, no worries. Enjoy your time away.
I need to post on 29th (Monday) as unable to get to a P/O on 30th.
-
DJ pop your secret Santa into the mail to me and when it is drawn I will forward it to your SS. Then when cookie has time to do the draw she can tell me. Also will confuse your SS which is a bit of a giggle so double wrap so I can take it out of the parcel and just secretly put it into another bag to send. Ok so I will know but I won't tell. Otherwise you could send it to cookie as I am sure she would not mind at all.
In any case it would be another job done before you may get busy again.

I don't mind at all if you send it to me DJ and I am more than happy to send it to your SS.
-
Include me please. :). I love surprises and giving a surprise as well. :)
-
Done.
-
Hope I'm not too late? Would love to be apart of SS again this year. :D
-
I did all the name selection for SS today. I did it without my glasses so I couldn't cheat. One person had selected themselves so I simply swapped it with another. I will notify everyone in the next couple of days.

Oh goodie, I've been putting my thinking cap on and off lately

WHOPPEEE I've just got my Secret Santa. Thanks Cookie ... now, it's off to the shops I go.

I forgot to take a pic or say thank you to my last years SS for my beautiful water jug which I used for my Demo a few weeks ago. It was perfect. I use it often.

Exciting I just got my SS name now to do some stalking 😎😎😎

I love mine, had a good laugh when Cookie gave it to me. It's an easy one for me, say no more. Thanks Cookie.

thanks Cookie

I have my Secret Santa, thank you Cookie. :)
-
Mine,too! Thanks, Cookie :)
-
Thanks Cookie :-*
-
Thanks Cookie, I've got any easy one too.

Please don't panic if you don't have your SS. I still have a few to do. I sat down this a morning and started them but about 10.30 needed a nap, which I promptly had. I woke up had a light snack and promptly went back to sleep until DH arrived home about 20 minutes ago. In 2 weeks lots of you will have to put up with me!!! Not long now.

Got my name today too, thanks Cookie....
have no idea what to get her....... :-\ :-)) :D
Still fun, will enjoy working out what to get. ;) ;) ;)
-
Thanks Cookie. I think you chose a very special one for me. ;D. Would like to get something special, think think.
-
Are you giving clues already Chookie? I think they are pretty special this year too. I have been surprised at some of them this year as the 2 people are sometimes connected in some way. Maybe they have met, maybe not. Perhaps they both have a z in their names. All special.
I have completed the SS send outs now so if I haven't included you please let me know. Hopefully it is ok, but all problems are fixable.
Happy Secret Santa erring.
-
I have mine now, thanks Cookie1. I have a lot of re reading to do now.
-
Help all my PMs have disappeared including the one with my recipients address. What is going on?
-
No worries DJ. I can send it again. ;D
-
All sent DJ.
-
Thanks cookie but I have no message section at all....

-
Hopefully it will return. I will send it to you another way. ;) ;)
