I'll keep them going and see. Meanwhile the oca is growing like mad and needs planting out.

Sorry for the wait. All done now. My selection was a bit boring compared to some of the seeds in there but hopefully they will be useful to someone.

Jeannine, I haven't recieved your pm for the next person.

I had this vision, from your last posting Nilly, of you going back to bed with the seed parcel, you'd cancelled all your shifts and had been there ever since! ;D ;D ;D

Sorry everyone, I've been so busy that it's only just been sent :-[ pm sent with the tracking number to you Jeannine.

I'm not very good at clues, but here goes:

The writing under this persons avatar could get them in trouble with the police for indecent exposure.

I suppose you could get arrested for "Doing what comes naturally" anywhere not just in Sussex. :D

So is it Ninnyscrops?

It has just arrived and it's a huge box now :o :o :o

It has nearly a whole roll of sellotape around it and may take some time to open.......................... ;D

Reading glasses have been cleaned, the 'phone is off the hook, the mobile is switched off and anyone ringing the door bell can come back later. The kettle is on and dinner will be from the freezer this evening.

Tea break!

Absolutely amazing I don't know if it's in it's original box but the words on it say it all ;)

Just finished bag 1 only another 6 to go - I'll be as quick as I can ;D

nilly71 · « **Reply #332 on:** August 12, 2010, 16:05:10 »

I'm glad it arrived so quick. :)

It took me about 4 hours to go through it all.

Ninnyscrops. · « **Reply #333 on:** August 12, 2010, 22:59:08 »

All back in the box now, a couple of these and a pinch of that........and my little bags have joined the rest of the lovely seeds in there.

Thank you so much Jeannine, John and Jayb for organising all this and all those that have contributed along it's journey. Roll on the sowing season ;)

Ninny

PS. Neil my message says "naturally" not "au naturale" ;D ;D ;D

Goodo, Ninny has the next addy and we are almost at the end.. with no problems.

Soon it will be time to get the other one out, for the newer folks among us that I promised.

Well, this morning I was woken by screams of agony :o I rushed outside to see what the problem was.

It was a heartbreaking sight. There was my postie doubled up and screaming that he thought he had developed a hernia. It was plain to see what the culprit was. In his hands was a huge parcel addressed to me. His fingers were going white from trying not to drop it with all the pain he was in.

I knew I had been put on the list for Jeannine's seed parcel, so I instantly guessed what was in the box. I may be squeamish, but I decided to throw caution to the wind, rush up to him and grab the parcel and run!!!!!

Well, I have been busy sorting through all the wonderful things in there. Even christmas tree seeds. I am in heaven.

Sooo, a big thank you for including me ;D I think I will need another few sorts through over Sunday, as it is sooo much fun. I'll get it on its way then....providing I can get hold of a forklift truck ;)

Oh, and a quick 'groaner' postie joke.......

Q. What do you call Postman Pat when he retires?

A. Pat
