Hi there ladies, Just a wee small reminder that as of this friday coming your secret santa pressies should have been sent to ensure they get there in time.
Just a small friendly reminder
To those who have already sent theirs - well done!
ETA: fixed so it doesn't sound so grumpy and apparently offensive... written near midnight last night and meant to say that only a few had been sent off, not that only a few meant it in the true spirit of whatever. ARGH i give up.

there are some wonderful ladies waiting for their pressies (47 OF THEM OUT OF 75), and REALLY ONLY A FEW others who have already sent theirs in the true spirit of what this is about... just slightly pitiful really.

so you are saying that not all who have sent theirs have sent them in the true spirit...? and if so not sure what you mean about that... doesnt sound very nice.
and i for one didnt know they had to be sent out before a certain time... we are all busy mums and surely if it gets there before xmas that is what counts.
sorry if that sounds like a grump, but your post put my back up and didnt come across as a friendly reminder at all.

thats how i felt too deb! i sent mine last year and i will send mine this year too. i personally am not the sort of person who would commit to something like this and not complete it.
***to my ss person who is waiting- you will be getting your present, i havent forgotten you ***

posting at midnight isnt a good idea then...
sorry but it did dound like you meant that some had sent their gifts but not in the "true spirit".
i dont think anyone will argue the fact that you have done a good job of organising it janine and dont let me spoil that good feeling of a job very well done!!!!
