Hi everyone,
Thanks for so much interest and enthusiasm - I'm going to close this now or it will take until the end of 2009 to get around to everyone. I'll post full details later when I have properly organised myself but the following are on my list (in no particular order) - apologies if I have missed anyone off (let me know!!!)

It's going to be fun...........
I've been asked by a few people how the seed swap is going to operate, so I have come up with the following guidelines:
1. Have fun – enjoy the swap
2. Take out any seeds that you want
3. Put in any seeds you have left over or that you don't want.
4. It's OK to put in or take out 'just a pinch' if that's all you need or have to spare.
5. I will include some spare bags in case they are needed.
6. Please try to label any additions clearly
7. Growing instructions are great – but remember you can look these up on the internet – so don't panic if there aren't any shown.
8. Try to keep the swap moving, and pass on as quickly as possible to the next person on the list .
9. Make sure the package is clearly marked with a return address so it (hopefully!!) doesn't go missing.
10. Please post a message on the A4A swap link when the parcel has been received/sent on
11. Have a great growing season in 2009!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any questions let me know!!!!!!!
The Seed Swap Parcel will be posted on Monday - it will be on it's way to Bournmouth.........................
The playing order is:
Flowers of Shona 2007
Trinity
Debster
Lottie Lou
JO9919
Dad N Lad
Froglets
Star
Georgie
Ceres
EJ - Emma Jane
Elsie

oooh its on its way to me yippee
Patience Emma....only another 7 to go! :-\
no parcel yet??? :( :'(
ooooh ive got the parcel ive got the parcel will spend the evening perusing and will get it in the post on monday ;D
i have been busy and therefore forgot to post that i have posted the parcel first class on monday although it was late in the afternoon so therefore may not have gone out until tuesday so watch out lottie lou its over to you!!
lottie lou has the parcel arrived with you yet??
any news on the parcel im really worried now let me know if i need to chase it up with the post office please
The post is very slow at the moment Debs, crimbo rush and all.
I think we have to allow at least a week, possibly more.............tis very annoying I know :(
ok i wont panic just yet i have proof of posting incase
I think who ever gets the parcel in Christmas week should perhaps keep it until after the holidays (just like last year). So we all know where it is and less of a chance of it wandering off with Santa ;D
Don't worry yet Debster - It'll turn up.
That would a very sensible plan Lauren, better safe than sorry ;)
Hiya,
my first time, am I too late to join?
The parcel arrived here safely today.
Many thanks to Ann for organising this, I've had a lovely afternoon sorting out what I want. Thanks everyone for adding some good stuff ;D
The parcel will be on it's way again tomorrow.
Jo.
Levi,
Have sent you a PM - PS
Wooohooo ! Parcel arrived early this morning :o - must have a new postie ::)
We've spent a lovely morning sorting through and bagging up spares to put in ;D
Will try and get it back in the post again today - if we can get to the post office before it shuts ;D
Lookout Froglets :-*
Sorted!
The parcel arrived today and as at the moment Monday's are my only reliable days to get to the "good" post office ( The nearest has lost two parcels I sent from them), I've done a speedy turnaround and just got back from Haslington Post Office. The parcel is now on it's Celestial way?
Fabulous selection & I'll be spending the rest of this afternoon cataloging my seeds for the new season. I've finally cracked. Seed's Anonymous thread here I come.
Cheers
We have touchdown ;D ;D ;D
Yay..........I will have a sort through tonight and post off tomorra ;D ;D ;D
Thank you to the Ladies of Haslington Post Office - done me proud again :D

Okay, I have opened my surprise. What can I say? I've been looking for these seeds for years: wherever did you find them? I am so touched I'm choking up here. The generosity of folks on this site never ceases to amaze me. Thank you soooooooooo much. ;D ;D ;D
G x
Oh bless ya.........it was no problem at all. They are very easy to find if peeps only know where to look :D
I would be very interested to know how they do ;) With pics laterz too please, I enjoyed yer bean pics and follow up from last year ;D
It's on the way today to a county town which had it's 800th birthday in 1999. Doubt it'll get there before Xmas though, so some lucky person gets a late pressie!
QuoteOkay, I have opened my surprise. What can I say?
Say what it is!!!
;D
Wellllllllllllllllllllll, I believe it arrived today! ;D At least I have a large white jiffy bag with I think is packed with seeds sitting on my dining room table for me to play with when I have fed and watered the children.. ;D ;D

Hi Psi,
Purple Sprouting closed this one some time ago. Don't worry, if you stick around there will be others!
Arrived today, yay ;D My computer crashed at Christmas, so I have trekked to my Mum's to let you know, hope I will get it back in the post tomorrow.
Sorry I haven't let you know before now, but my computer's still not working. I posted the parcel on Wednesday, so hope it will arrive soon.

What a lovely selection of seeds, thank you ! I sent it back on it's way this morning.
me next me next me next ;D ;D
THE EAGLE has landed. I will check out the contents and get it back in the post tomorrow.
its on the road again posted this afternoon at about 15:00.
Arrived this morning. The postie struggled to get the parcel through my letterbox! Took out a pinch of this and a touch of that; added some of these and some of the other.... Its back on the road again as at 1230hr today.
Hi
Anyone know where the swap is now??
PS
I've been and gone and done it. Soz 4 delay
No I'm lying, wrong swap sorry :-X ::)
i have got it i will be posting it out 2moz ,
not recd it yet
???
Have you PM'd Shaun, he was on here yesterday.
did at the end of end of jan
is there any chance of me joining in or is it to late
not sure this is still going as i never recd the swap from shaun01
i sent it out to the next person on the list weeks ago i think it was for you ,but not sure,
just been racking my brains i was the last one on the paper list how ever there was someone else after me on the board so i just sent it back to purple sprouting weeks ago
Quote from: straush on February 11, 2009, 19:42:12
not recd it yet
sorry about this i no i pm you telling you that i had sent it out to you but when i looked on the list that came with the swap you was not on it so i sent it back to purple sprouting sorry about the confusion
but the swap had ended and all the seeds was returned to the person who starts the swap
A quick message to sort out the confusion. A couple of people asked if they could join in after the swap started and I agreed that I would forward the parcel on after it had returned to me. By the time the parcel was returned to me I had forgotten all about this - and I have now amalgamated the remains of the swap and my other spare seeds into another circulating swap.
Apologies to the couple of people who were disappointed, but there are lots of other swaps going on that you can ask to join in with.
Regards PS.
:o :( ::) :-[ :-\ :-X
