Fizzle Knit Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I know when I've collected parcels before they haven't even asked for proof of address so I should be OK!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I'm also hoping the reciever posts a recieved note on here - mine is still winking at me from under the "tree" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I wonder if the person we have sent our present to is sending us a present back- or does a Secret Santa not work that way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I don't know, Cathy could have just paired us up which would have been the easier option I'd have thought, or "willy-nilly" allocated. I just watched for my "partner" to mention they had received my offerings - am still worried they won't like it Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HennyPenny Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Mine arrived yesterday and I'm sooooooo excited! It's sitting under the tree looking intriguing...thanks Secret Santa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Mine has just arrived!!!!!!!!!!!! It smells very interesting And, it's not so secret- the sender has put their forum name on it, but I won't tell, it doesn't matter. Thank you very much to my Omleteer sender I got hubby to open the parcel just in case the present wasn't wrapped inside it, but it is, & my present is now residing under my tree.Only 6 more sleeps till I can open it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck Jules, I hope it something seriously easy to serve - carving 100 portions of turkey as the plates are going out is NOT funny!

Fizzle Knit Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I have the parcel Thankyou very much Secret Santa! and can I just say, I love your street name! What came first, the house or the chickens? I'm not even opening the outside packaging yet, it's so nice to get a complete surprise at Christmas so I want to savour it. We're actually having our present opening day on Sunday as we'll be away over Xmas, so I only have to wait 2 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzle Knit Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Just wondering - is it very wrong to use the clues from your Santa's parcel (i.e. the return address) to play detective and try to identify her on here, and then look at her previous posts to try and guess what the pressie will be? Not that I would do that of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I haven't recieved mine yet............ Me neither! And for the record I don't really want to know who sent it anyhow. Its just a lovely suprise pressie from one of my chicken keeping friend,& it will be truly appreciated for that alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 The one I received didn't have a return address ... and to be honest, I too would rather have it kept as a delightful secret. It's enough to know that someone put the time and effort in to make and send something - and that it's something (I haven't opened it yet, honest!) that probably couldn't be bought and that I'd never be given by anyone else. I did put my postcode on mine, as it was a parcel ... but I think I'd rather remain Ann Onymous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
