not to rock the boat or anything but im feeling rather sorry for the people on the list (who genuinely havnt recieved one, not the ones who have but havnt taken their name off) because it is 1.5 weeks before xmas and as the post is usually pretty slow around these times, some may not even get them by xmas  ......(certainly not a dig at anyone with a valid reason for not posting!!...)

slightly OT here, but further to the Jehovahs witness thing, I saw them out one morning last week in my street (I know one of the girls sort of, we worked together about 7 years ago, she was my afterschooler, lost contact, though after she left as I was just too wild for her family so no association out side of work etc..) ANYHOW, saw them doorknocking in my street, and I was heading out and thought "yes!!" as I would find it quite hard to shut the door on her, well, that blinking night, I got phoned by them!!!!!!! Didn't know they were "doorknocking" over the phone now! (and it was the girl I know, but she wouldn't know it was me, surely, as she wouldn't know my married name or address? weird)
So yeah, SS, I need a treat, I'm having a sh*t time ATM with clingy grizzly insomniac children and PITA teenager. ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

My chocolate got seriously destroyed in the post and was not edible :(. It was all melted, re-set and had gone a fully dull colour. Beware...send very carefully! Appreciated the thought though :) ------------- Mummy to Gabrielle and Ashley |

Hey man I'd still eat that if I were you! It goes a funny colour after re-setting but that doesn't mean it's gone off. (yeah, we had too much time on our hands in the science lab at high school... gotta love doing chocolate research though!). ------------- Andie |

Here is the current staus from many many Pm's in last few days
Fattartsrock - sent on december 1st.. keep a look out (hope those doorknockers didn't take off with it, lol, j.k) Faraway - Husband of santa didn't send it like told, is now on it's way after a good telling off from santa. Katherine - on it's way Helen21 - on it's way SuzieQ - sorting out addy as pressie returned to sender Peace Jack'n'Charli Eva Sheza Ann C Glow Sallybelly Those without comments your secret santas have been Pm'd and asked where they are at in this process, I hope to hear from them tomorrow. Funnily enough there are 2 ladies who have not received nor sent as far as i can see as yet. See why i was being a nag a week or so ago. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

Here's where we are at:
Sallybelly - has been sent though since she has just had baby prob hasn't had a chance to get on to tick name off Fattartsrock - argh darn NZ post, I think your ss may be resending a little something your way. Sheza - have it on good word that yours was to be posted today susieq - hopefully should be on it's way after sorting out addy probs. Last but not least Glow and Jack_&_Charli I Am so so sorry that you are still waiting to receive. I have sent numerous Pm's to you secret santas with no reply - i know they are on Oh-baby frequently, in the last few days in fact - which frustrates me terribly. Seriously, though, will be keeping record of who didn't make the effort to send this year (ie those SS who have not yet even contacted me back after many Pms') to pass on to the organiser next year if it is not myself. I would say that it is not fair that they have also received pressies yet not sent. *****Edited to add - have had many many volunteers to buy for glow and Vanessa... the position has now been filled for both. Thanks so much to all the ladies who pm'd me, you are all wonderful!!******  ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja
