Title: ginger's possible pass the parcel
Post by: gingerninja38 on January 13, 2008, 22:29:21
it seems i have been too late to join in this years pass the parcel, so i thought i might start a new one if people are interested.
i went a bit mad and bought loads of new seeds this year as all my seeds were eaten by mice over the winter after they got in my shed so i have lots to swap.
i thought 10 might be a good number so if people are interested please pm me before friday 18th jan and we can get started.

I'm new to this pass the parcel lark, how does it work?
Title: Re: ginger's possible pass the parcel
Post by: gingerninja38 on January 14, 2008, 10:48:20
i start off by sending out a parcel with a selection of seeds in it, you take out what you want and put in a few that you would like to share and then post it on to the next person on the list

Hi Ginger, I'm not ignoring your parcel, was just aware that there are a few people who haven't got in on any of them recently, so wanted to give everyone a chance, but if there's spaces left...
Will PM you now! ;D

Hi Ginger

I have been running around all christmas delivering pressies (I'm a courier) and this is the first time I've had the time or engery to come on here for ages.

I would love to be included in this PTP if possible - I loved the one I took part in last year! Put me near the end of the list though, to give the unnecessarily large seed order I have just placed time to get here!

After a couple of days stalking my Postie, he sneaked past me & delivered the parcel on Saturday.   A weekend of deliberation, cogitation and deep deep thought ensued and the package will go in the post this afternoon to the largest town on the English south coast between Southampton and Plymouth, where In a recent survey by First Direct Bank, it was found to be the happiest place in Britain with 82% of people questioned saying they were happy with their life.

Enjoy!
