Judy if it's easier you can give me Karen's calender and I can pass it onto her one week day.  It will give us an excuse to met up again for lunch  ;D

Ohhhh - how exciting!  Thank you so much Judy and HO!!   Unlike most people in this high tech age , I still use and love a wall calendar, and have one for work and one for home.  I think the TMX one is destined to stay home though!

As Katie said, dont worry about posting it, give it to her instead.  I got my order of bulk rapadura sugar today, so after I divide it up into littler bags, I will be paying Katie a visit again soon  ;D  And lunch sounds good Katie  :D

When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.

What a lovely gesture. Thanks Judy for the distribution of them.

Now, now Gert. We can't expect everything!!
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

I'll go around to the PO next week and get some envelopes to fit the goodies into and postage will be my Christmas present to all the lucky people who receive their gift.  So sorry I didn't have more that I could send out to all those who would have liked them.  This is the first time this has happened since I have been a moderator but it is a nice bit of PR work between HO and the forum and just in time to pass on some Christmas spirit.

Call me cynical  but  to deliver these things to Judy to forward to others at Judy's expense is crap.  It is not only not generous, but appalling in my opinion.

Sorry Judy but  I do hope those who receive it at the very least  return the favour.  This  is not a generous gesture on HO  part in my opinion.

A generous gesture by HO would be to,acknowledge our forum and  give a calendar at no expense to Judy.

Monika shame .  Why not  come on the on the forum  and explain yourself personally .
