Spanish pass the parcel
« on: May 25, 2007, 14:02:03 »
Feel's like I'm missing out on this pass the parcel thingy!! Sounds like fun  :D

Hows about me nipping off to the garden centre and getting, let's say 15 packets of new seeds and some from my collection and starting  another round? who's up for it?

Do I just send off the pack with the listed addresses and watch it's progress? easy as that??

Maybe the last person on the list takes more seeds cos the postage is a little more to Spain.................

10 people?

Have I got the right idea here? never played before  ;)

Sign me up girl  ;D... you need about a dozen names and addresses frim which you print off a list.  Enclose it with the packets and send it all off to the first name  on the list. 


Eventually it gets back to you ... greatly changed :D ::)  ;D   ;)   :-*

Me too, but your inbox is still full XX Jeannine

PS, if we each popped 20p in the parcel as it went along the last person wouldn't have to pay anymore at all ?? Good idea/bad idea???

Good idea Jeannine ...... but suggest Folks put a 24p x 2nd class UK Postage Stamp, otherwise the weight of coins will be heavier than the seeds  ;D

Lady of Spain .......  ;)  please put me on your list

Such a great response, I'll post a list of who's up for it tomorrow! New to this too but It sounds as easy as when the pack gets to you you take whatever add your goodies and send it on to the next on the list (included in the pack!)
In box emptied now so let me know your addresses

Good stuff! can't wait xxx  :-* to all whos signed up

Biscombe,

not to put a dampener on the idea, think it's great but ......... are there any potential problems mailing seeds across borders within the EU ?

hope all you good folks have a great weekend and those not in Spain .... have pullovers, Anoraks and Oilskins at the ready  ;)

Cheers

No problem Mikey, have done swaps all over the world and rarely get problems, and hey we've had rain for a week now! had to wear a cardi tonight  ::) !! nice not having to water the garden though! Just thought of something, I will be sending edibles and maybe some companion flowers, don't know until I have a look in my seed stash, but do I send stuff to sow in the near future or a mix, or does it not matter???

PS not forgot about posting the list of peeps, first in list for tomorrow xxx
