Kev, sorry, no... I never got a PM from you with your name and address to add to the list, and parcels 3 and 4 have already left.
I think there might still be time to join in parcel number 5. norfolklass is organising the next one. Details in this thread...

-
barking dog, I think you might have a little wait yet... :(

drumming fingers smiley ! there's been absolutely stuff all in the post for two days now (not even any bills :P).
this is one bit of mail that I'm getting excited about.
;D
-
I'm excited too - but don't know which parcel list I'm on!!!
-
Where is the parcel now - has it gone missing ? As far as I can see has only been to three people so far ...

Parcel received safely this afternoon in Essex. Will enjoy examining the contents and adding bits and pieces over the weekend.
The parcel will be on it's way to WATFORD on Monday.
Citychick - many thanks for setting this up - it's great fun!!!!!!!!!
-
Yeayyyyyyyyyyyyy :D ... It might be meeeeeeeeeeeeeee !! ;D
oooo I'm all suspenders ::) ;D
... it's coming towards you Jitterbug :D ... maybe soon ;)
-
Okay, to try to clear up any confusion... as it was so popular again I sent two parcels off at the same time: parcel 3 and parcel 4. (I thought if I kept it to one list of 24 people it would take too long to go around everyone.)
So, in ALPHABETICAL order the people down for each parcel are as below. However to keep you guessing as to when you're going to get to open it (a bit like a real pass the parcel ;)) this is not the order it is going to be sent round ;D
Parcel 3:
daisymay
flowerlady
glow777
hazelize
Jeannine
Marymary
MrsKP
princescruffster
purple sprouting
Rhubarb Thrasher
Sparkly
tulippa
and
Parcel 4:
barkingdog
blisters
cambourne7
coznbob
flossie
Jitterbug
knbsallotment
mikey
Rosyred
sally_cinnamon
suzanne
sweet-pea
Hope that helps people keep track of which parcel they should be looking out for.

Just a word of warning re the postage, I sent a perfectly normal size envelope to a swappee just recently and she was charged extra postage. She asked me if I had been "done" likewise. At the time I hadn't received my envelope, but tonight through the door was a regular envelope that had been underpaid by 5p ! There is a neat little sticker on it saying Fee to Pay £1.05 !!!!!! 5p for the unpaid postage, ONE POUND for the handling fee !!!!!!!!!!
As the envelope is now on my mat, they can sing for their £1.05, but just a warning for others.
..............I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it .........

-
Really glad to see I am on the list for parcel 3 - thought I had slipped off .......
Thank you very much for organising this Citychick - something to get excited about. ;D
-
LOL!! MrsKP.... its just the thought that you might be thinking that you're going to squeeze the "pass the parcel" in an ordinary envelope... Think bigger ;)

Got home to find a parcel ;)
What an evening I shall have ... will be as quick as I can ... Chester next ! ;)
-
drum de dum de dum de dum lol
-
I think I am on the list for Parcel No3.........
Is it coming anywhere near Warwickshire yet? Sorry to sound impatient but my postman is getting fed up with me asking him if he has a parcel for me yet, I think he may be trying to avoid me as he seems to be getting later and later arriving at our house!
Stressed Suzanne!
:o
-
Chester eh? I wonder if that's me.
-
Well you'll soon find out ... the postman has it :)
Terrific effort by you CC thank you so much ;D
-
well I hope the package doesn't look too INTERESTING. We used to have a Klepto postman who nicked that kind of stuff (till they banged him up)
-
arrived Sunday from a stressfull w.e. in BRISTOL, to find the package.....will sort through this eve After Having A Glass of Wine or Two, and post tomorrow
next stop NORWICH
RT
-
Yipee that must be me! I do hope so - really looking forward to it. Thank you sooooooooooo much CC. ;D
-
cant wait for it to hit Buxton - and heres hoping for red cabbage - had a champaigne moment with my packet yesterday and they went everywhere!
-
Hi I got red cabbage if you are stuck , mini ones I think XX Jeannine
-
I think I put some kalibos (http://seeds.thompson-morgan.com/uk/en/product/gww0084/1) in one parcel - but can't remember which one... :-\
Fingers crossed... :)
-
don't think there was red cabbage in No 3, unless I missed it
-
Would you believe I popped into Focus, morrisons and wooworths today and no red cabbage seeds at all :-[
in fact all seeds were seriously depleted - gardening must be getting popular
-
just to let you know peeps, that if the parcel finds it's way up the road before the middle of next week, i shall be getting a postie card through the letterbox for me to collect when i'm back. soz and all that. will be fast, i promise.

Number 3 arrived safely in Norwich today - a wonderful selection with some really interesting things. Tomorrow it will be on its way to..........................
Glasgow :)
-
ooh ooh ooh, so excited BUT ................ if it's me, I'm not there !!!! Will be back on Tuesday and it will be the first thing I look at! Hope it can get through the letterbox. Sorry that it's hit a brick wall folks !!!!
After a really lovely and pleasurably drive south yesterday, I've woken up this morning to see "wet" !!!! We must have brought it with us. As the reason for me being here is to do my daughter's garden, that's a bit of a blow.
I'm sure I'll manage to get something done though !
Toodle pip!!!

-
ooh ooh ooh, so excited BUT ................ if it's me, I'm not there !!!! Will be back on Tuesday .......
;D ;D ;D
We could always miss KP out and send it to Buxton instead . then back to Glasgow - only joking!
;D ;D ;D
BTW how many people are left, and are there some good goodies in it?
-
Six more people on the list after Marymary... ;)
-
if it's not already on it's way, then do just that and let me know where i've to send it after !!!! would hate to hold everything up !!!
;D

oh sooooo pleased ! must admit to clicking this link with a bit of trepidation !
there's too much to choose from really isn't there !
it really is a wonderful way to try out new varieties of everything !
;D
-
ehhh whats happened to the parcel - has it reached its destination? I posted it 9 days ago with proof of postage
its all gone quiet ............ :-X
-
I got this today... not sure if I was next after you - it came form Northamptonshire to me in Bedford?
Is my birthday today so an extra treat to get this in the post today. Was so much bigger than I was expecting! so much to choose from, definitely worth the wait...
CITY CHICK - your inbox is full - thanks for organising it - will try not to agonise over my selection too long..
-
I think I am on the list for parcel 3 and looking back over the replies I am probably next or next but one?
Can't wait. :o
-
daisymay - it must have been somewhere else (maybe a couple of places) then as I posted it from Derbyshire
doesnt matter as long as you got it and I can stop worrying
-
I think I am on the list for parcel 3 and looking back over the replies I am probably next or next but one?
Can't wait. :o
is going to Manchester next... so if this is you, it will be on its way by middle of the week I promise...
-
Sorry peeps, I've been away for a few days so only just catching up...
After glow777 I was expecting it to go to someone in Northampton and then on to daisymay, so it all seems to have gone to plan. Maybe they tried to PM me, but with my inbox full that would have been a bit difficult... :-[
Parcel 3 has 2 more people to go to: sparkly and princescruffster, or maybe princescruffster and sparkly ;)
Suzanne, I've got you down for parcel 4, soon ;) very soon ;) ;)
-
Any update on parcel 3?
-
Parcel number 3 arrived here in sunny Barnsley this morning. Looks like I'm last on the list. Will send back to Lisa asap.
