OK the parcel has left home! Stand by your letter boxes, it should arrive today or tommorrow.
If you can please post on this thread when the parcel gets to you so I can keep track of it, it will take a while to get round everybody but anticipation is half the fun!
Enjoy

-
Thanks Helen :D
-
oh this is so exciting
sorry
i'll try and be calm
-
LBB go and lie down in a dark room, you are going to explode by the time the parcel gets to you!
Good things come to he / she who waits :-)
A watched postma never delivers etc.
Helen x
-
yippee!! i don't want to miss the postman, so i am not ever leaving this house till it gets to me ;) ;D
-
Ooops!!
I'm going to be on holiday from 23rd October till 1st November and don't want to hold things up while I'm away (someone will be at home but I want it to be ME that opens the package!!!!!).
Any chance of avoiding me at that time?
-
Oh joy of joys I received the parcel this morning!
Helen you have gone to so much trouble and there is a great selection in there. Thank you so much.
I've had a good rummage and have selected what I know I can use. I've popped my seeds in and will go to the Post Office later. The parcel will be going to The Netherlands next.

nothing yet,maybe too big for the pigeon ;D ;D ;D
-
We have HUGE pigeons here...........you should have used one of ours Georgie ;D ;D ;D!!!
-
Asbean - I think the timing should be OK but can you email me nearer the time and I will try and predict where it is etc. there are easy wanys to slow things down if need be :-)
Helen x
-
OK, I'll do that. I wouldn't want it arriving on the day I leave, then hang around till I get back - which will be late Saturday, meaning I wouldn't be able to get it in the post till the following Monday.
x B
-
I'm getting concerned now as it's a week since I posted the parcel on. Ruud, has it arrived?
G x
-
It took rather a long time to get to the Netherlands on one seed swop. Or maybe the pigeon drowned :D

Today a very tired pigeon arrived at my doorstep with a parcel from the otherside of the pond.Yes it arrived today,will look inside and send it on his way back.
-
Whew! That's a relief. Poor bird must have been battling head winds all the way!
-
I have put the parcel in the hands of special seals.If that was a clever solution i dont know.The next person lives in a forrest up north.
-
Have the seals made it back across the North Sea yet?
-
Yes, yes, yes the seals made it to my neck of the woods this morning. Sorry I couldn't let you know sooner but I met the postman as I was leaving home to come to Surrey for a few days. But did bring all my seeds to send on with me, the package is now bulging.
Ummmmm, this will be quick as I am going to deliver the pakage to the next one on the list, hope they are home tomorrow.
I'll be delivering to about 5 miles away from Wimbledon, hope you recognise who I will be calling on.
Many thanks for organising this it really was exciting to recieve.
Liked the forest up north ruud ;D
-
Pffffiehhh,finally at last it arrived at the other side of the pond.You never know with seals,but i am glad it arrived safely on the right adress.
-
I'll be delivering to about 5 miles away from Wimbledon, hope you recognise who I will be calling on.
Ooooh! Exciting, that could be me! Unless it's a really cryptic clue in which case I'll get me coat. If it's me and I'm out, the cupboard under the stairs....................
-
Sorry ceres it's not youuuuuuuuuuu :)
But, have made contact to the next on the list and it will be delivered tomorrow morning
Sinbad
-
Thank you Sinbad for delivering the parcel today will have a sort through of the goodies tonight and it will be back in the post to Teddington tommorrow - hopefully you will get it on Saturday! :)
-
OK hands up, my fab label system may have been a failure, either that or I have not explained it properly. My intention was that the lables went from left to right rather than down the page but I don't think I wrote the numbers on it label sheet big enough. Please can somebody print a copy of this post and put it in the parcel too.

If you have already sent the parcel on don't worry, it can be fixed, as long as the people on the right of the page get the parcel until it catches up and the correct order is resumed.
Sorry if I am teaching mother to suck eggs :-)
Helen x
-
How many people are on this list, please Helen...? :)
-
40 stops all together :-)
Helen
-
So very sorry to Maidstone Kent. But hope Daisy has enjoyed her evening sorting through seeds.
Have to own up to rearranging a few people :)
But well worth the wait.
Sinbad

Maidstone Kent, Maidstone Kent, bugger that was me :(. no Christmas card for you Sinbad7 ;) you should have kept your hiccup to yourself cause now i am really going to go stir crazy :-\ ;D
-
Sorry Thifasmom. I'd already sent package to Ceres but you are definatley on the list to recieve it next - hopefully early next week, so not too long! ;)
-
BUT, thifasmom, you'd better put me back on your christmas card list as I have done you a big favour by not sending it to you next. I shouldn't really be telling you this but just know daisy and ceres have added seeds you can't wait to get your little green fingers on ;D ;D ;D

-
how long before it gets to me??
Just having a sort though my seeds at the moment :)
-
No hurry Cambourne :-) Not telling you the exact number as that would spoil the mystery !
-
Later today it will be back on track to a town on the Medway in the Garden of England.
-
steady my beating heart ;)
-
yippee it arrived this morning just as i was going out, so i will be going through it this evening, will put some goodies in and put it back in the post tomorrow.
it will be heading to a small town whose railway station serves the Penistone and Hallam Lines and parts of the town were affected by the floods of June 2007 when the River Dove breached its banks.
hope my clue wasn't to cryptic :-\ :)
-
Weeeeee..........I know who it is, I know who it is..........................................
NOT ME :'( :'(
-
Didn't get to post the package yesterday as planned because everthing and anything endeavoured to keep me from going out ::).
packaged was posted at 11.50am this morning at the post office first class, i hope it will arrive at the next destination tomorrow.
sorry about the hic up :-[.
-
No hurry Cambourne :-) Not telling you the exact number as that would spoil the mystery !
thanks hon :)
-
just wondering if the package arrived safely, i sent it since friday last week ???
-
bump!
-
I have PM'd the person who the parcel has gone to, haven't had a reply back yet .....
Fingers crossed all is well.
Helen x
-
Parcel was handed to me by Flowergirl as we live nearby. Will be back in post tomorrow. Sorry for any confusion. Heading to Old Hell?
Nicola
-
At least we know where it is, I was starting to get worried!
Thanks for letting me know.
Helen x
-
Old Hell? ??? Waiting to see who that is 8)
-
Sounds like Camden Town on a Friday night
;D
-
I was feeling very 'Monday morning' then the postman arrived. What a wonderful selection of goodies. I shall send it on tomorrow.
Thanks Tinkie-Bear!
-
Heading to Old Hell?
Nicola
Hey, I just noticed that! Eastbourne's not THAT bad!
-
Bump!
Does anyone know where the parcel is? I can't wait for it to get to me!!!!
xx ;D
-
Hi to all those still waiting, It's with me!! collected it from post office yesterday,package much too big for letter box, ooh isn't it exiting :) :) will go through today with a nice cuppa dreaming of the brillant summer we are going to get next year, hope to get in post tomorrow, will give some clue as to where it's going later!!
-
please please please.... tell me were it is going. Give me a clue. I need to know. it could be me :-\
-
How many are left on the parcel list please ;)..?
-
Sorry Lauren, you have a while to wait yet, we are about 1/4 of the way round !! OMG this is a bigg'un - will it get home before spring I wonder ....
Helen x
-
Whoops sorry meant to give a clue as to its next destination :-[. I am sure its there by now. However its gone to a town that boasts the 4th longest Canal tunnel in Britain.
-
Not me then :'( ::)
-
Lappal tunnel on the Dudley.
So not me either ;D
-
Has the parcel arrived anywhere yet?
-
I've been thinking the same myself - just where the devil is it? should I have sent it recorded?
-
It could take a week or more at this time of year :(. It took that long for Jeanines swop to get to me. So patience is the key..........not easy though ;)
-
It is a funny time of year - I am receiving 2nd class post the next day, and first class is taking 3 or 4 days!! And parcels are taking much longer.
-
Any news yet, anyone?
-
Get in line.
-
;D
-
I have sent Kate a message to check in it, no reply yet ......
I hope the post monsters have not eaten it :-(
Helen
-
bump ??? ??? ???
-
any idea where the swap is now ???... any one.... ???
-
The last person known to have the parcel was Susiebelle, she sent it to Jordsbabe over 2 weeks ago but that's where the trail goes cold. Jordsbabe has not been on here since October, I have sent her a PM but have not had a reply. I think we will all have to keep our fingers crossed that it has not vanished and that there is no reason Kate cannot pass it on. If anybody has any suggestions as to how we play this one next I would love to hear them.
Helen x
-
Oh dear :-\ :-\ :-\
-
Have you emailed her? Her addy is on her profile.
-
Hi Ceres, Yes I have emailed her as well :-(
-
lets hope it is some thing as simple as a broken computer or she is on Holiday so she cannot post and that the swap is already on its way to whoever is on the list :-\
-
Well, you have the address. Put out a request on the forum for any big blokes living near Halesowen and send the boys round to forcibly remove the package ;)
-
send a letter with a return address on the back addressed to the occupier if she has left the address for whatever reason the new occupiers will open it and may forward back the package? and if the letter is returned it might have a clue on it why?
-
Cambourne - are you a spy or private detective? What a brilliant idea, if we haven't heard by Monday that will be my next course of action.
I will keep you posted .....
Helen
-
HEHE gosh not a spy 8)
-
GOOD NEWS !!
I have just had an email from Kate, the post office have been playing silly devils and she hopes to get her mits on the parcel tomorrow, it will be back on the road very soon.
Phew!
Helen x
-
PHEEEEWWWWW (we all heave a sigh of relief) :) :) :) :)
-
I have just had a message from Kate, the parcel, a little battered and bruised, has made it to her! The parcel has now been dealt with and has gone back to the post office - next stop Camden ...........
-
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
... am I bovvered?...
;D
-
Hello Everyone
A really really big sorry for the delay!
I got sent a card by the Post Office to say I had recieved a parcel, When I got to the sorting office they couldn't find it, anyway they eventually did although it looked like the staff had been playing rugby or football with it, anyway the good news is as said in previous post is on it's way to Camden! (I also obtained proof of postage just incase!)
To be honest I couldn't think what the parcel would be, as i hadn't ordered anything, and I haven't been on here for ages due to the fact that i keep being sent around the country to work so have very little access to the internet,
I am really really sorry that the parcel has been held up! Next time I will make sure I put a note on the door to say to Mr Postie to deliver it to my neighbour! (That's what i usually do!) and............ i'm gonna make sure i log onto here at least once a week, besides that i've missed you guys!
Sorry once again
Kate xx
-
Has the parcel turned up at the next person? I've been away in Lincoln and have been having nightmares about it!!! I'm off to shipley tomorrow so won't be online again!
Kate
-
(crackle... muffle...)... Houston, we have touchdown... (crackle)
I've only just got in from work and IT'S HERE!
Many thanks to Tinkie Bear and everyone who has contributed so far.
Already have my contribution ready so a swift shufty through then it'll be back on the road tomorrow, going to Ticker-on-the-Water.
;D
-
Brilliant .................. Fantastic........................Wonderful.......................!!!!!

If you haven't received it yet, I think it would probably be wise to leave it until after christmas, otherwise it will get swept up into the peak delivery time and anything could happen.
-
I am happy to go with the flow, if you want it pass it on, it will get there eventually or if you want to hang on to it I don't mind. I must warn you that you may become very attached to it if you keep it for a couple of weeks, be prepared for a bit of separation anxiety.
Helen x
-
still no swap :-\
-
the seed swap arrived at 3 30 yesterday I will resist temptation and wate till tonight to open it :o will be sat with a baileys latte and will spend a long time picking me seeds ;D will wate till I have had a bath dont want to get paint in it ::) ::) ::)

The next stop will bring the parcel closer to home than it has been in months! It will be about 45 miles from Harwich if that gives anybody a clue .......
Helen x
-
Any news on this one? I have no idea how far down the list I am at all..... :-\
-
I know I'm more than 45 miles from Harwich ...
So who's the lucky person ??? ??? ???
-
Well, the postie rung on my doorbell this morning, and as luck would have it, I was in, and I picked up the parcel and thought, what on earth is this..... Shook it and heard that familiar seed sound. Hoorah! Especially great as it was a complete suprise. I have been through and taken a few bits and pieces, but my little girlies likes to have a looksie, especially as there are some flowers. Have already put in some toms and aubergines as I have been sowing today. Fingers crossed will get it sorted and reposted tomorrow, if not, then definately gone on it's way on Monday. I will give a clue later when I check the list.
-
It's on the road again. ;D
-

-
I'm south................... we have willows tranlsated into withies. So getting a bit excited :o , but not sure about the silent treatment so maybe thinking its not me :(
In a right tizz now ;)
-
If you keep annoying us we'll "send you to Coventry".

-
PS Thanks Eristic, wouldn't have got the last clue without you.
I am being particularly dense this lunchtime
;D
-
I have the parcel and will look through it tonight to try and get it back on the road on saturday. :)
-
Glad it arrived safely! ;D
-
Parcel is off on its way again.
To someone in the south, whose site name indicates multiples of our national tree.
They should also check if they signed up for another seed swap as well - as that one seems to be heading in the same direction.

Oakmore, I am impressed you knew that! Lulu lived here too, as did Sir Arthur Conan Doyle! ;D
What postman delivers at 7.30am??!! Poor bloke looked shocked as a bleary eyed Pinks opened the door to him in her dressing gown!
Will have a sort through......may take a while, there is a lot in there.................and will try and get it in the post today.
It will be heading to someone who should have a valiant steed, who lives on a poets road, in a cathedral town!
Thank You for organising it Helen..........what fun! ;D

Will browse through, add some, take away some and send it on its way tomorrow.
-
What a choice!! Still browsing well after midnight.
It back on the road again - on the A31 heading south - singing "I do like to be beside the seaside, I do like to be beside the sea ..."
Hope it remembers to turn off at the A338 ...

-
mmmm i think it just arrived with me today, Miss Whiplash????
-
Is it too late to join in?
-
I'd like to join too if it's not too late?
-
a question there are a few gaps in between some of the lables, how do i know who is next? do i send it to the person on the top of the last lot of stickers??
anyway mr postman this morning when i opened the door in my fluffy dressing gown and very little else said to me, 'oh you not very well?'
i said no im on nights and you just woke me up >:(
-
From what I remember, the stickers all had a number by them so you just went to the next one?
I hate being woken up on nights, but my postie is a gem, he hides any parcels for us and puts a note through the door if he sees my car but the curtains are shut! Bless him! ;D
-
Is it too late to join in?
Thanks for reply Helen, will try another sometime :D
-
sorry to say folks yesterday went totally pete tong for me so it will be tues am before i get the parcel out but will do it first thing

-
bump
-
as much as i want to see the package arrive i am moving soon (still waiting for the exchange of contracts) so once we move i need to give whoever my new address so please contact me before you post it :)
-
hello has the parcel arrived in Tyne and Wear yet????
-
Hmmmmm, Toms Lottie hasn't been on here since 29th January, I think we had better keep our fingers crossed and assume that the next time the parcel will surface is when it gets to Northampton ....
Camborne - there are still 4 more stops before it gets to you, when you move please can you let me know and I will arrange for the parcel to come to your new address rather than the old one, hope it all goes well ....
Helen x
-
oh no, i hope its got there safely, im sorry i didnt know i should have checked if someone was still posting first :o
fingers crossed it will prompt him to contact us here
-
only moving 35 miles away i am sure if the package ends up at the old house we will get told.
-
im sorry i didnt know i should have checked if someone was still posting first :o
How do you check if someone has posted recently? ???
-
Lauren - you click on their name and it will bring up the summary which will say when they were last active. Or down the bottom of the summary when it will let you look at their last posts. ;)
I'm getting addicted to watching that little stork in your sig. Where did all those days go.. NONE left! :o ;D
-

I just hope it's not as late as my son was....20 days overdue
and he's been late for everything since.... ;D
-
Toms lottie has his email address hidden so i havent been able to contact him that way either, i dont know if Dan the man has his email address and could contact us for him?

If nothing has turned up by Monday we could PM him - that should send an alert to his mailbox, even if his address is hidden. I am sure all will be well - the parcel has gone off the radar for a while before and returned safely!
Helen x
-
Hi, sending him a PM will also send a message to his home pooter, he doesn't have to come onto the site to read it.
I do hope yours turns up, mine current has got lost now after 18 after being sent to Trinity , my previous one got lost on the first person, I posted it to Tomslottie myself as he was first on the list but he said it never arrived. I started another one immediately and sent that one out to the next person on the list, it did the full rounds, even Spain, France and Holland and arrived home safe and sound. I think I have 5 altogether which did well so they do work.
I do hope yours turns up soon.

Very odd but this morning i got a massive envelope stuffed full of seeds with no letter so i dont know why i have them......
-
Hmmm - the seeds were in a box when they left me - there were too many for an envelope or jiffybag. Could it be another swap ???
-
Posted from CM9 (essex) but nothing inside to tell me where to send the seeds to.
And only has my first name on it and my address and the package is crammed full :)
-
they were in a digital radio box when isent them and it was packed full to the brim
-
it's on it's way to louise today, enjoy
Is this where the package came from???
Came off this thread - Re: I have to much off swap addresses please

Helen x
-
How many stops are left now...? ;D
-
Lauren, there are still 15 stops left, OMG this is taking soooo long!
If anybody is pi**ed off with waiting and would like to be removed from the list please let me know and I will have your address stickers removed, honestly I didn't dream it would take this long to get to everybody, sorry.
Note to self - if ever mad enough to do this again, limit the number of players!!!
Sorry again

Hi
I had a large white envelope turn up this morning at my new address and it looks like its packed with seeds as some have leaked out and stuck to the sticky take.
Luckly the re-direct is in place till the end of the week as i dont know what might happen.
Will go through this in the next few days and have it back in the post to kings lynn as soon as i can.

I think that could be a different swop - when it came to me it was in a box, not an envelope. But that was ages ago.
??? ??? ???

Helen it's with me, arrived yesterday, in bed with lurgy so nice bag of seeds to rummage through. Will get OH to post for me may well be Saturday but if he can manage will get him to deal with tomorrow.
sorry if it's me that's holding things up!
-
Oh how confusing!
Cam - I think you have the "best of" swap, if memory serves me right it moved into an envelope a few stops ago after somebody at royal mail played football with the box. The addresses should be on white sticky lables if it is and according to my records King's Lynn was the next stop so I am glad it found you at your new home and hope you are settling in alright.
Susiebelle - sorry to confuse matters even more but I am certain you have another swap unless there has been a bit of a time shift somewhere, apparently you had the "best of" parcel ages ago, before xmas! I don't know which parcel you have but I hope that you feel better soon and find lots of nice things in there.
Ding Ding, next stop King's Lynn :D :D

Hi Susiebelle
I think you were also on the swop for 3 sisters which DebP would have posted to you this week?
-
Arrived today Susanne-lovely :) :). Now how to be sensible with such a lot to choose from
-
Posted on yesterday to the birth place of Dylan Thomas
-
As Susiebelle posted the parcel 10 days ago I would hope it had arrived by now, any sightings?
-
Any idea where the parcel is now, I have lost track of it!
-
Ding Ding, next stop King's Lynn :D :D

Package has been sent back to be with a note from the royal mail saying they were unable to deliver :( it was ment for 'K' in kings lynn) can you PM me your number and i will call to check the address? I can get it back into the post office monday or tuesday next week.
-
I have PM'd the lucky lady in Kings Lynn and will let you know when I have confirmed the address, sometimes the post office do this just to wind you up, they have an odd sence of humour.
Hope you enjoyed the parcel Cambourne :-)

Hello ;D I had forgotten about the seed swop and for a little while I was a bit bewildered, anyway thank you Blue Bird for passing it on to me, I will be passing it on to Leeds on Monday, it was so exciting looking at all the different seeds.
-
It must have got to Leeds by now - has it surfaced yet?

I'm in Leeds, but no sign of the parcel here as yet.

Please PM me if you have and I will know what the dickens is going on :-)
Helen
-
OK hands up, who's got the parcel now?
-
This must be the longest seed swap in history ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
-
can't believe its still going :o, soon it'll be time to start the best of 2009 ;D.
-
That was a great swap. ;D
-
If it ever gets home! I think it's gone missing on the way to the last stop before it comes home :-(
-
It hasn't turned up here :(
Jo.
-
Gutted! All this time to get round and it's gone missing before getting to the last stop ! Ahhhhh! Oh well, if it ever turns up Jo please take some, put some back and post it home. It's a shame as most of the contents were going to the school allotment group :-(
Thanks for playing everybody

Name and shame Tinkie. This happened too often last year.
-
I can't believe it's gone missing. I've been waiting with baited breath for it turning up since the swap started, and have kept seeds to one side too to put into the parcel.
What a shame that the kids are going to miss out too. Did you check with Kingfisher that it was definitely posted?
Jo.
-
And thank you for organising it, Tinkie, that was a mammoth task. Let's hope it does eventyually turn up and complete the swop. :) :) :)
