Yeah, you can't go wrong with food for this group although other goodies are acceptable!  ;D

I was chuckling at the appearance of more foodstuffs and then clicked to the next page to see KF made the same observation.  Yeah, food!

I only have stuff that can be had from over here, so if I have it, you guys could just go out and buy it yourselves.  I don't have fancy Jello products, or Mexican salsas, or American powder mixes (and if I did, I probably wouldn't share!  :P ).

Done!

Eeep!  I have not been paying attention!  You guys take your time while I sort out what I'm putting in!  I felt like I still had weeks to go, and now it's nearly time!

I'm finishing the things I'm adding (also not food for the most part) so I'll not rush too much ;)

Ooh, I'm intrigued.  Also, that's exactly what I hoped to hear.

Meanwhile, apologies to everybody down the line from us, but Margo and I may be a while.   ;D

Oops!  You're right.

Okay... um... I'm not sorry!  AAAAHAHAHA!

Frankly, I'm rather disappointed in the Scottish contingent for turning the parcel around so quickly.  I feel like holding onto it for less than a week should also be against the rules.   ;D

I have been caught out as a result of the Scottish efficiency.  Hopefully, Margo was serious about not rushing, and she'll take part of the 'blame' in my slow turnaround.  :)

Tomorrow's the only day I can go to the post office, so that's the plan.  ;D

Then that is what you must do.  :)  Frankly, I'm just glad Pass-the-Parcel is on again!  I don't really mind being the one to hold us up when my turn comes, because I know I won't abscond with the box and disappoint everybody.

Besides, there will be the time it takes to get from you to Margo, plus the time it takes for Margo to make her selections and contribution(s), and then the time it takes to ship from Margo to me.  I probably have about a week before it even starts to look bad.  ;)

I'd guess it will be like a week and a half before it's in your hands :) the "vacation" has meant plenty of crochet time for me so I made a few small things that I hope someone will find cute!
