Well! I took all the seeds out then felt guilty so I put them all back less a few for some added excitement. Parcel is now on its way northwards to Linda Tal.

Hi all,

Got in from work at 3 pm today and naughty hubby kept me guessing if the parcel had arrived.  Sat down with a cuppa and looked on the mantlepiece and WOW  :o a HUGE parcel was sitting there!!

I've just finished looking through the fantastic selection of seeds and have put some more back in and it's now well taped up and ready to be sent to Deb P tomorrow.

A big thanks to you Rosie and to everyone else for a lovely selection of seeds.

A very happy Linda   ;D ;D

That's great Linda! Glad this is going so well, how about another one say feb time, this one was started a little too late for sowing, but we should all be stocked up next year!  ;D ;D ;D

OOOh yes please. I have been following the progress of this parcel , but didnt join in. I wish I had now >:(

When this parcel has done its rounds, please could someone tell me what seeds were in there. You all sound so excited when you get the parcel it must be good!

Great idea - just the right time of year to get us in the mood for sowing again and dust off the winter cobwebs!

Parcel safely recieved this morning, arrived with the new Harry Potter book, guess which one I opened first!

Lots of goodies by the look of it, I will have a good look through and post on Monday. ;D ;D

Parcel full to bursting, well taped up and on its way to Blisters today...... ;D

I had a good old rummage through this morning, lots of seeds left in most packets, after I had added my lot to it I could just about shut the lid!

We will definitely have to do this again.. ;D ;D

I reckon I put about the same in as out seedwise, but did put in some peas and quite a few paper packets which were a bit heavier than the seeds I took out and decanted into my own little envelopes.

The postage to send was £5 first class, same as Linda Tal so I think I've kept it even! (but that box is really full now!) 8)

Sorry for not posting sooner but been away for a few days.

Bad news though, expected to come back to a parcel but nothing yet :'(

Hopefully, it will turn up on Monday as the post still seems to be a bit slow :-\
