I am going to start stalking the postman next week if my parcel hasn't arrived by then,  ;D ;D ;D
I child-proofed my house, but they still get in!

Gert I hope you warned her about the cockies  :o :o

 Yes I told her daughter but have not seen her yet as  she just Arrived home from Victoria last night. She will be in touch when she is not busy. I will buy a bunch of those tubes of cockie cream and give her a couple!

I've cheated with my SS photo - because I'm such a klutz at this uploading of photos thing, JD has very kindly agreed to post a photo of my gift on the photo thread.

Thanks JD - you know how I feel about you - you are a saint!

We are going to have some serious tutoring happening after Christmas when others get a new device.  This website  has made it easy to up load from here as well but reducing the size of the photo is still a problem if you have taken it with an I pad.

There are many ways to skin a cat and post a photo so we should get together  and work on it.

Mmm. I wonder.

Gert you were so kind to your neighbour.  We have a dear friend who is a widower and money is tight. He recycles all his cards. You may receive a birthday card for Christmas. He has a wicked sense of humour and seems to write the perfect thing in them, even if they are the wrong sort of card.  In fact we look forward to receiving his cards.

Now he is really clever and gives you credit for having the sense of humour that makes the giving and receiving so much fun.

Yes, the top present is an interesting shape, but I am still resisting the temptation. ;D

Frozzie, the date is 23 December.

I still haven't posted my present - I'd better get on to that before I am the last one to send and my poor recipient will be wondering when (or if) he / she is ever getting her / his present!!!

Just 1 Amy ???  Are you going to open it?  Did you give yourself to anyone?  You'd be the only one who knew who their present was from then  :D :D :D
