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 ;)
I was born with nothing and have most of it left.

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.

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.

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 .....
