"G" Exchange sent/received

[Meriweather]

Any news today?

 

[momof2OH]

Just wanted to apoligize for not posting sooner...my DS, rec'd his exchange but I was unaware that he had gotten it. I know there was gummies and gum, but I'm not to sure what else. Thank you very much for his exchange.

 

[Meriweather]

Glad to hear one arrived!

Guess we wait until Monday to hopefully hear of more arriving.

 

[momsal]

GOOD MORNING!!

 

[Meriweather]

Good morning, Sally.....and everyone else.

Hope we get some arrivals today

 

[momsal]

the ones we mailed should have been recieved by now.

 

[Gaspode]

Hiya Momsal

The one I sent should be there by now too , esp. as I sent it the same day as my 'H' exchange and that got to Lizdotcom on Friday/Saturday.... but never mind, it should show up soon and I'm sure yours will too!

Have fun!
Gaspode

 

[Meriweather]

I know
I don't know where they all are.
I asked people on Sat (except Gaspodes's person hasn't answered her PM yet)....and as of then, they said no arrival

Hopefully soon.

 

[kimber79]

Ummm.........HI...........it's me, the person that should have wrote on Friday, but ran out of time and didn't post.

I GOT MAIL!!!!

I received a package from Gaspode on Friday!! I am so sorry, I moved this weekend and I misplaced my card I made notes on as to what I got. I remember I got a Glitter address book & pen, Grapefruit Shower Gel, Grape (and something!) Shower Gel, a extremely cute Disney card and a cheese knife (I think!) that had a G word on it! Sorry Melissa if I left something out.........A BIG THANK YOU...............I LOVE IT ALL!!

 

[Meriweather]

Yay!! One more down!!

Odd that the one from the UK arrived before some of the US ones

Any more today?

Bringing the list over to this page.

Let's get this list shorter!!

momof2OH (12-6)
Matthew (12-5)....this one probably arrived but I didn't get a PM answer.
Vito (12-8)
Carol (12-8)

 

[Meriweather]

Still nothing?

Well, it it gives you all any hope....my "lost" package to DS made it yesterday.....only took that priority box 2 weeks to get from here to CA....by way of MN!! And it looked like it had been thrown the whole way.

and....everyone that is still waiting: Your exchanges are coming from reliable, regular exchangers......so they will get there!! Hopefully sooner than later!!

 

[Gaspode]

Hiya,

Yes, mine arrived, woohoo!!!!

And what a bonanza package it was

Thanks muchly to Momsal who so kindly sent the following:

A Golden Snowflake Garland for Christmas
A lovely Gingerbread Man tea towel
Some Yummy Gummy candy - Christmas tree shaped!
Some Gift boxes and cute cute Gift tags
Some 'Grip Extra' pads - you can use them to open jars etc - very useful with all the food I'll be opening over the hols!!
Finally a sachet of turkey Gravy mix - Our experience is that US gravy is different to UK gravy and my family love it (I don't have either to be honest) so they'll be well pleased that I can serve this up @ Xmas!!

Thanks Sally

But that's not where the story ends!!.... Sally was my 'D' exchanger too and the package sadly never got here. She was extra lovely and added some 'D' items to *this* package!

Some Doublemint gum
Some Dental Floss (LOL - I got Floss from my F exchange, someone trying to tell me something?!)
Some Dove facial wipes
A Dell crossword puzzle book... I have to admit, I thought the 'D' stood for difficult LOL! These will keep me amused on my daily commute!
And last but not least some Oreos (which Sally said are Delicious and she's not wrong!!)

Thanks ever so Momsal - you and my ornament exchanger made my day! I'm an Oreo-fanatic and you can't really get them here (just the six packs and they are expensive, imagine, no double stuff, no mini oreos, no different flavours, no pop-tarts, no Oreo-os... LOL I loved living in FL cos' I could eat them to my hearts content!) So I do so love to receive them as well as all the other great things you sent! My ornament exchanger sent a bag of mini oreos over too so I think word must be getting around

Thanks to Momsal and to Meriweather, and sorry for such a long msg! I'm just about to post another actually so....

Cya!
Gaspode

 

[Gaspode]

Hiya again!!

LOL!

Anyways, second msg is to say two things:

1)

I GOT MAIL!!!!

I received a package from Gaspode on Friday!! I am so sorry, I moved this weekend and I misplaced my card I made notes on as to what I got. I remember I got a Glitter address book & pen, Grapefruit Shower Gel, Grape (and something!) Shower Gel, a extremely cute Disney card and a cheese knife (I think!) that had a G word on it! Sorry Melissa if I left something out.........A BIG THANK YOU...............I LOVE IT ALL!!

You are very welcome Kim! I don't think you missed anything out... just so everyone knows the 'cheese' knife is really a cake knife and has the word Gateau cut out of it - I wanted to keep it for myself Anyways, glad you enjoyed - I had fun coming up with stuff, I found G tricky!

and

2)

Re what Meriweather said about her package to her DS looking like it had been thrown.... my package from Momsal was torn in quite a few places (LOL - It was quite fun, on my way down from the PO I was making my own snow as the jiffy bag stuffing fell out! ) and the package from my Ornament exchanger was torn to shreds and sellotaped back up too Perhaps some Postie somewhere is looking for something?!

Cya,
Gaspode

 

[Meriweather]

Glad to hear ythat another arrived!
Hope to hear more!

Wow!! What is with that? They take forever to deliver our packages and then they are ripped up!
I think they are keeping them around and using them for football practice!

 

[lizdotcom99]

Nudge, nudge, wink, wink as a teacher of mine used to say eh Liz?! A sly hint there?!

I'd take you up on it but I just can't imagine what soap you could possibly think is worth Oreos.... hmmm.... I wonder....


Gaspode
