Okay all you "pass the parcel" addicts.... parcel one has returned to me and is ready to go again (thanks for all the offers of help btw).

To be honest, I've lost track of who said they wanted to play next time, so....

The first ten people to PM me they want to play in round 6 are on the list (I think its round 6 :-\ I'll call it round 6 until anyone tells me otherwise :P)

If you've played before, I should have your details, but I'd still like a PM to confirm you want to play in this round.

If you've not played before you need to PM me your real name and address so I can add you to the list for round 6.

Any questions, feel free to ask.

If you're not in the first ten, don't worry, parcel 2 is due back soon ;)

Okay.... GO!!

Lisa

Sorry to seem thick :-[ but I'm new to this site. What is involved in the Pass the Parcel. and how do I PM you if I want to join in?

Cheers D

Hi Dizzymac,pass the parcel is a give and take mail swap of seeds.
As you become more familiar with the site you will see that we swap a lot of seeds between us.eg I may need a cucumber of a kind I want to try or perhaps can't find in a shop,I ask if anyone has any and in return I offer what I have to swap.

The pass the parcel is a Round Robin plan , the seeds start at the organisers house, it gets sent to the first person on the list, who takes out a few of what he/she wants puts something back in and sends the parcel to the next person on the list and so on till it gets back to the first person again. We usually take out a few rather than a full packet of something.

It is very much a trust and honour set up a give and take idea.

You never know what may be in the parcel and that is what makes it fun

Places go pretty quick, so you may not get on the first one you asked for,I think I got on my third.

While you are waiting, there are lots of swaps going on so if you have an access of something I am sure someone will be interested and you may get something you need in return.

Welcome to the forum

To PM someone, which is a private communication. click on there name/picture and a screen will pop up, at the bottom it will offer you choices, one is to send a personal message to that person.

Good luck with your seed swapping, I am in to Tomatoes, squash, fancy beans and melons myself as a sort of speciality you might say, but always keen to see what is out there.

Hi Jeannine

Thanks for the information, I'm sure I'll get to grips with this site one day!!! Might even get round to putting a picture on here.

I seem to end up with lots of tomatoes, I'm trying out the Black Cherry one from T&M this year

Cheers :)

Sorry for the delay in getting back to this. (I had a silly fall at home and learnt the hard way why you shouldn't run up stairs with things in both hands :-[ ::) I've had a rather sore wrist for a few days, but well on the mend now. At least I can type now and open seed packets again ;D)

The first ten people who got back to me were, in alphabetical order:

Amazin
blisters
carolinej
coznbob
creckless
flowerlady
Jeannine
Jitterbug
mikey
norfolklass

As usual, this isn't the order the parcel is going round in - just to keep you all guessing ;D

Sorry for those who didn't make it, but I'm sure there'll be another one as parcel 2 should be back soon...

Lisa :)

Thanks CityChick

I do hope that you are well on the mend as you are going to need both hands with Spring here and all that sowing to do. You be careful in future.

I know once I fell down the stairs and was lucky as other than being rather shaken up my dignity was more bruised than anything else and my favourite slippers were ruined!! Alto I think it was the worn slipper that made me slip in the first place.

I look forward to the next parcel with baited breath......

Regards

Hmmm... slippers were partly to blame here too! Dangerous things those slippers ;D

flowerlady · « **Reply #10 on:** March 30, 2007, 11:04:48 »

Also as good as flip flops !! Hope you feel better soon ;)

... just had a thought you will have to ask someone else to do the digging !! ;D

norfolklass · « **Reply #11 on:** March 30, 2007, 11:14:00 »

thanks CC! ;D

and I'm glad you're on the mend. I don't have to watch out for slippers but my cat likes to play chicken by dashing in front of me when I'm least expecting it. she's been accidentally kicked across the kitchen floor a couple of times, so you'd think she'd have learned by now ::)

who ever invented stairs needs shooting really we moved froma flat to a house and we didn't have a stair carpet, i had socks on and was carrying my daughter who was 10months at the time, yes i slipped with her in my arms and we fell top to bottom, my main concern was my daughter not letting her get hurt she was fine, me a hospital job twisted knee, very painful and physio later.. stairs who need them.

as i am quite new to the site i would love to get in on the seed swap but have to tell me what i have to do and who you send your address to so you can get the seeds sent to you will there be a list inside to let you know who to send them to next

manicscousers · « **Reply #14 on:** April 03, 2007, 16:43:15 »

have a look on the next post, jeannine's starting a pass the parcel :)

sutton girl · « **Reply #15 on:** April 05, 2007, 17:44:19 »

Hi Citychick want to play pass the parcel please have to help me as i dont know what pm means

CityChick · « **Reply #16 on:** April 05, 2007, 17:55:15 »

Hi sutton girl,

PM means "personal message". If you look to the left, near people's names, there is a picture like this:

When you click on that (below someones name) it'll take you to the place to send a personal message.

At the moment all the "pass the parcels" have gone, so its too late to in join now. (They go off with a list of names and addresses to pass them on to, so once they've gone its too late to join in that particular round.)

Keep an eye on the swap shop though - if there is enough interest when an existing parcel comes back the organiser might send it round again ;)
