Had inspiration today :D :D :D :D

I love that stuff :D :D :D

What if someone's get lost in the mail? I always worry about this. I would hate for my SS person to not receive theirs. I often have trouble with dear old Australia Post. 

Just keep an ear out on one of the chat threads after you send it Cookie. If your SS person doesn't post that they've recieved theirs within a decent time, then you can worry ;)

And everyone should be vigilant and post a photo of their unwrapped gift so the SS doesn't get worried :)

I think everyone should post in the photos section once they have their gift - that way their secret Santa knows it was received safe and well.

If you can't post photos - maybe just include a description of the present.

Suggest we all get a receipt of posting.
Two or three years ago I sent a SS on another forum but never received one back. Never knew if not sent or lost in post. Just one of those things.

Hoping for safe passage of all SS parcels.

Gosh now I am more worried. Or maybe my friend registered it for me. I'll have to ask. Please post a photo of it if you have received it. Judy,Gert, Chookie, Uni, Hally, Obbie, Emme, Kimmy, Andie, or who ever it is going/has gone to.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Cookie, we recieved a parcel yesterday that had taken over a week to get to Albany from Perth. I think the posties are either getting slack or under the pump leading up to Christmas :-\

Wow, would have been quicker to drive Goliath and pick it up, Amy!  :-))

Maybe it went for a quick interstate tour before it came back Amy ;D

Of course Kimmy, the posties were just giving Mrs Brown and her boys a chance to see the countryside ;D

Astarra, it sure would :-)) Even if poor little Goliath ran out of fuel and we had to walk to the next roadhouse, it probably still would have been quicker ;)

We sent three boxes all identically posted from france to oz.. 2 made it but one went to the usa.. Came back to france and eventually made it back to oz but had to repackage and send it.. Lucky dh was still there to do it as was some of my thx books .. Which arrived quite damaged.. Was very angry!! Postage worldwide sucks on any given day!
Kim :) ... Back in the land of Oz
