Tomslottie, I have pmd the addy to you, I think it is right although I did make a mistake on a house number this week, but that was when I wrote if down off thr PM ages ago, with the parcel I had kept all the addresses in my box and made the list up from it, so I know I didn't right it down wrong.

I am getting very concerned now , I have never had anything go missing before and I have sent out and received tons of stuff this last two weeks,but it has been a full week now and it was first class. Could you check at your local pick up place and see if it is there and they forgot to leave you a card.

Any ideas folks

J 9 and Co.

keep fingers crossed...... but don't worry just yet.

Today I received a 'padded bag', posted in Somerset on Saturday.  this is good !!

Last week had a 1st class letter which took 8 days from Boston (Lincs) to North Willingham (Lincs) all of 50 miles.

Like Jeannine, (tempting the Gods here  ;) but have never 'lost' a parcel, the odd letter maybe, but sometimes folks have not posted stuff when they claim they have.

Hopefully it will turn up, even if there is a mistake in the address, the Post Office Staff are not daft (I am serious, I think they provide a fantastic service, especially in Rural areas) they can deliver mail with very minimal addressing. Also I believe Jeannine said she had put her own address on the packet as a 'return to sender' address

I am debating wether to put together another one and send it off,then if the first one turns up I will ask Tom to send to back to me as is and I can put those back in my stash.

Tom said in a PM he has been to the post office and they can't do anything for two weeks  but I think we we need to get this going sooner.

My addy is on the parcel , as you know if you have had swap that stated with me before I ask that you leave my addy showing so it has a home to come to.

I once did buy something off e bay that got lost, it was several years ago, the PO compensated the sender but it took 5 months.

I will start working on another one and if it hasn't shown up by Saturday I will post the second one off,with proof of posting this time. John always does with a parcel but he said he never bothers with a smaller package. We learn some things the hard way!!

 I will keep you all informed.

No, well maybe cos tomslottie has sent a message that there is something at the PO for him and asked me to hold off as it might be the parcel so fingers crossed we will be back on track after tomorrow

I think I will have to start on the second parcel as I fear the first one is lost.

I am  a bit concerned that everyones address was in it so I think I will not put list in the second one and copy what someone else is doing with their parcel and post it  out without a list, when it arrives PM me and I will give you the address for the next person .I will post the second one on Monday  and confirm on this post that it has gone out.

I think we need as quick a turnaround as we can as we are running later than we anticipated.

If anyone has any away dates could you please let me know so I can work around them.

I thin k there will beloads in this one too, what I won't have that went out in the first one will be made up by seeds I have bought since I think, with the exception of perhaps tomatoes and squash but I think you will still be happy with it.

I will put Okra seeds in for those folks who are hoping to join the Okra challenge.

I am going to add some flower seeds that are outdated but I am told they will be OK so feel free to take them as I have many more then I can use.

Good luck , and have fun.

Jeannine you are being very generous - I know how much time and effort, let alone expense goes into starting a parcel - so thankyou.   :)  Hopefully the other one will eventually turn up.  :-\
