IT'S MEEEEEEEE! ;D

[goodlife]

I think that clue was wrong .. purposely so... ;)I don't have enough water here for even single skinny dip...never mind boats... ;D
I've just been in post office to fetch 'OH's' parcel... ::) ..and to do a bit of shopping..well...Oh's it wasn't  ;D and the shopping was done in record time...it was 'burning the hole' in my carboot.. ;)
What a perfect timing to have a day off..and what a start for the day... ;D
I've rang OH and delived bad news for him..no parcel for him....and informed him 'that lady of the house is unavailable for next few hours and the phone is OFF!!'... ;D...so now I'm going to disappear from the 'space' too and will get back to you in next few hours or so... ;) (I can hear few relieved sighs going on..and it is not because of the parcel has surfaced.. :-\)...yes I'll shut up now... ;D..and get on with it...
Jeannine....get you name ready as I'm aming for a quick turn over...if it is not in post today..tomorrow morning latest.. ;D...you little 'monkey'  you cheating me like this... ;) ;D

[goodlife]

OHHHHH...I had to switch computer back on.. ;D ;D ;D
I've just tipped the parcel on table.... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
And I'm having one of those "Harry met Sally moments".... ;) ;D
I've just put the kettle on and was going to make cup of tea and savour the moment while going through....but I changed my mind.....coffee it will be with a drop of irish cream in it....this parcel deserves a bit stronger company... ;D
LLLLLLLLooooovely..... ;D I go now..

[goodlife]

..one more...
GrannyJanny....double your envelope order.. ;) ;D...

So glad it is with you.
Sorry about clues,we just wanted to really surprise you as you had passed the odd comment about  being vaguely interested and if there wasn't any paint to watch dry you may take a look.
 As Captain Oates said ........................................
Enjoy

now this is progress report....I've just 'flicked' through the packets..and this is utter nightmare now.... :o ...all the hours I spent during winter months wrinting and re-writing my seed lists...(I like lists.. ::))...so now I might just chuck it all in bin... ::)...what hope does one have after all this.. ;D ;D
...vaguely interested.. ;D...a little bit more than that perhaps..  ;)
I'll start picking some out now... ;D Im very organized...I've got everything in piles and those are divided more piles...yes, hmm.., maybe, another think, possibly, got those, err....not many on no pile.. ::)
Another report to follow sooner or later..girls got work to do... ;D

[Jeannine]

Have fun XX Jeannine

Bit of good team work there HilaryXX

No Jeannine - I'm not on this list, just the one for squash seeds. My garden is so small and I already have a shoe box crammed with seeds, so I dare not join any general seed swaps - much as I'd love to  :(.  But I love to read the excited messages of those who are waiting for the mailman!

Goodlife's been quiet for 3 hours now, hope she didn't make that a double Irish cream and has fallen asleep  ;)

IM STILL HERE!.. ;D..OH..I've done 3 hrs solid work..my fingers are raw with tape dispenser..I've run out with seed envelopes and tape...I never got to finish my coffee...(there is a Finnish saying..cold coffee makes you beautiful..) so no loss.. ;D....but one cannot complain as the end result was worth it..I would do another 3 hrs for the same.. ;D ;D
Sooo,,,the parcel is on the move again..and now I only need to think a clue..I'll be back soon.. ;)..no that wasn't it..I'll just go and think a moment.. ;D

[goodlife]

....clue= ;D..somebody is going to be truly in heaven..... ;)...

[goodlife]

And what did I pick....well..almost little bit of everything.... ;D..and that's LOT.. ;D
The parcel is quite a monster...and by looking at last postage...I don't think is getting any lighter.. ;D...oh..I'm laughing at it here..so funny..like horn of plenty..
And little tip for all you who haven't had it yet....cancel your seed orders..do not even look anything untill you've seen the parcel...  ;D ;D...and buy some more envelopes even if you think that you have tons..believe me..if you are going to have bit of everything like me you will need them.. ;D ;D
I delighted of all chinese stuff..so much to sow now/soon..Toms..can't wait till next year...Tigernuts.. ...flowerseeds.. peas and beans..cumbers ..chillies/peppers ..pumpkins ..squashes..herbs/salads grapevine...asparagus ..achocca...salads/hebs...
I think I don't need to get anything for next few years.. :o.....and I'm still as exited....can't wait to see others reactions now.. ;D

[goodlife]

A big thank you for Jeannine and Jayb......and thank you for you all who did contribute for the seeds before me... ;D..I hope  the new additions to the parcel will be your liking.. ;)
