Grammalady - thank you so much for making the arrangements for SS.  I'm sure it takes a lot more time than most of us imagine.

I look forward to learning who my Secret Santa was!

Cheese glorious cheese.......I got a wonderful gift from Sluff and Mrs. Sluff. A cheese hat, cheese earrings and pin and cheese mug. My daughter just giggled as she helped me open everything. I love it all. Thank you so much!  :bandance;

My computer is so slow. It takes so long to get on line and read posts.

Ok Romona, we, well I want some  :pics; :2thumbsup; of those items.

The peppermint nobs were just as I thought. We have them in the US also made by another candy company, that also makes some bad sugar free candy when I had some years ago.

And I haven't thanked grammalady yet for taking charge of tis project, so Thanks for the fun. (thought we had a thank you smiley?)

A big thankyou to my SS. (Wattle)

I got a great desk calendar with photos of Australia.
A tube of Vegamite (I'm kinda scared lol).  What does it go good with?  Toast, crackers.  I like to try new things so I'm gonna go for it.
I also got some frog chocolates.  Very tasty little critters.

And a very nice card to top it all off.
Thank you very much Wattle

And a big thank you to Grammalady you did a great job :thumbup;

Confirmed with Karol address of receiver was incorrect. I have called Australia Post and will most likely be returned to sender (Elvis where are you ?  :guitar:) unless their post man is on the ball.

Other item I sent from U.S as an apology due to my aussie gift being sent late, I have sent an email to the company I organised it through and will see what their response is.....


So sorry my lil secret receiver ......... two gifts and yet not one received .......

Toast to me went best with vegimite when Wattle sent me some. Yes those chocolate frogs are tasty! (they didn't last to long)  :rofl; Wattle sent me those earlier in the year.

Georgi is a wonderful, wonderful person. I think you'll really love the music. Later she told me that she had CDs!
