DIS CJ 07-08/ update post #1 11/6/07

[AlexWyattMommy]

Don't kill yourself getting to the post office. I know what I'm doing for your book already. So it won't take too long to get it done.

Marlynn-

I was just wondering if you are going to send yours and Mazda's together when they are done and do a couple months at a time or what is the plan? I can understand it takes awhile to get things to and back from England (especially with the postal strike). I am just trying to plan out what I need to get done and trying to see when I need to plan this in.

Marlynn has hers and mine ready to send (I understand) so that'll give you two to work on. My photos for the "garden" CJ just scraped through before the postmen went on strike so I can start those pages. Marlynn just sends me the tag in a small envie (quicker - slightly - when posties are working) then I send her the pages and the tag back. She posts photos on a photo site so i can see what the pages look like. So I'll basically try to get ahead with pages and turn the tags round as soon as they get here - if that makes sense? A tag is quite quick to do, so the idea is I do the tag, pop it with the pages and send it to Marlynn. If things start falling behind Marlynn can do her pages and send the CJ on, and I'll send my pages to catch up wherever the book has got to (or will reach next).

One union has come to agreement, so if the bigger union can also be persuaded back to work things might start (slowly!) moving on Monday

Rebecca~
I am working on my pages for Mazda's book and should be done this week-end. I will be sending both mine and hers to you, Tuesday or Wednesday.


Mazda~
I am cropping the photos and they will be up shortly. I forgot that this was the first week of the month and I had APT Wednesday. The tag is in the mail.

So the tag is probably at Heathrow looking at its watch I'm in a weird situation that I can only look at the shared account from work because of my own account but I'll look at it Tuesday. I've got my evenings back next week as DH is back on late shift

No problem. I was just wondering what the plan was. I have something else I am working on right now anyway so I will be starting on those after I finish the swaps I have due in October.

I've checked out the pages - wonderful! I think I know what I will do - I've got my cardstock picked out ready and my pics just beat the strike. So I'll get them done and as soon as the tag gets over its jet lag I can turn this around.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Is there someplace we are keeping track of where who's CJ is now?
Just want to be sure I'm not missing something I'm supposed to update.


Kat, did you get your CJ out to me?

 

[KatDisney]

Nope I have to wait until Friday it's payday but it's all done. If I get time tomorrow I will post my pictures of it. I'm pretty excited with how it turned out.

 

[MazdaUK]

Still waiting for the tag - I've not got much done this week at all but its half term next week so I'm hoping to do this and the 2nd chance swap and get them both off.

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Kat, I'll be mailing mine out today.

AWM, I'm trying to keep track on the first post.

 

[MazdaUK]

The tag is still MIA, but I think the posties aren't rushing any to sort out the backlog I'm all ready apart form that, and the fact I haven't actually done the pages yet But I do know what I will do, honest!

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Don't worry about the tags Mazda, they will make their way home eventually.

 

[KatDisney]

Buffy - i got your CJ! haven't had a chance to look at it but it's here!

 

[rlovew]

I am just updating where I am. I haven't gotten Mazda and Marralynn's books yet (I am busy so that is fine) and I understand the postal strike has slowed some things down. I have mailed my book to Amy. Since I haven't gotten the books yet I obviously won't be ready to mail at the end of this month which is just a week away.

Rebecca ~ I just got that package out ~ you should have it Wed or Thurs

Mazda ~ AWM's tag was in a plain envelope like the first one I sent. Has it showed up yet? I am sending you a package package and I'll put another in it just in case. (I have tags that match hers)

 

[marlynnp]

oh, and can I get clarification on mailing date.... didn't it get changed to the 15th of the month?

28th, it was the 15th before.

 

[MazdaUK]

I think Marlynn has both books ready to go Rebecca

 

[momx3boys]

I'm ahead of schedule, I finished Rebecca's book today.
