i can confirm that i sent a gift to one of those people on the list, and as they are in the states, it may be taking awhile!

Thank you to my secret santa for the gorgeous necklace!  I think you've made DH jealous of the lovely gift.   ;)  I have a guess who I think it was, but could be wrong.


Thank you very much, Teletabby!

He he, you're welcome.  I'm glad to know it reached you alright and that you like the sparklies.   :)  When I went to mail it the post lady laughed at me and told me it had no chance of getting there before Christmas.   :-[


On a side note if anyone likes Bigelow's Constant Comment tea PM me off-list, as I'm quite saturated with it, and it has a short shelf life.   ;)

I got mine! It's a Terry Oldfield CD. It's very nice! Thank you Secret Santa. I've been listening to it while I work around the house. :)

I have NO idea who it's from, as there are absolutely no hints!

I am guilty as charged having been appointed by the Secret Santa Service to bestow you with a gift....it pleases me to know that you are enjoying it as I was very nervous about getting it for you not knowing really what kind of music you like....so I thought what the heck I like it so she might like it also.....Enjoy and have Happy Holidays!!!!!!

Aw, thank you, Snowlass! It's really beautiful music. It is sooo relaxing, too! :)

HO! HO! HO! Santa hopes you're all having a splendid Christmas Eve!

I have a question for JessicaKate: The reindeer will be in a holding pattern over the UK awaiting your return. Do you know when you'll be back from the US and ready to receive your present?
Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!!!

I got mine today!! YAY! Thank you! It almost made it for Christmas even though I'd been told it might not... if we'd had mail yesterday I bet I've had had it for Boxing Day!

It's a whole bunch of lovely chocolates (including Green & Blacks minis and Thornton's truffles) and also some Minstrels which I'd forgotten about but used to love to eat when I was at work. I also got a cute cat calendar which will go in my office.

I'm taking a stab here based on the signature, but I think it's from ksand24? ;D
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. ~ John Lennon

Yay!!!  Well we've no post here in the UK until Wednesday, so hopefully some of the others will soon turn up on this side as well.  I think the UK post will be delivered on Wednesday through Friday, then not Saturday (New Year's Day) & Monday is a bank holiday again next week.
