shameless bump

I'm surprised that all our dates haven't been filled! When I was looking, all the swaps were swamped (at least for my dates). Oh, well.... I am so happy to be in this one!

The moderators are trying to keep the board from being overrun with frig swap threads. We would appreciate it if everyone would read the first post of the following thread:
http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1454517

With the frig swap sticky at the top of the page, there should be no longer be a need to repeatedly bump your thread to the top of the forum. Any interested parties should be able to find your thread thru the link that I've placed there. Thank you, everyone, for your cooperation!

 

[krystalleigh1]

Ok. I'm calling it. The swap will begin August 7th with turning40withmickey. We will let you know within the next month or so how much the fridge will cost and how to pay.

From now on I will be communicating with you all through e-mail-so make sure I have your e-mail. Also, please PM or e-mail me with any questions, as the moderators no longer want the threads bumped for exposure due to the huge amount of swaps going on right now. There is a sticky at the top of the thread with everyone's swap and the dates available instead.

Thanks for organizing this!

 

[bell.of.the.ball]

Have you picked out a fridge yet?

 

[aka-mad4themouse]

I'm going to post this on every frig swap thread as a reminder!

...About Swaps HERE: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1454053

Now appearing at the top of YOUR Budget Board - Everything You'll Ever Want to Know About Swaps - neatly displayed in a single thread!

We hope to keep down the number of Swap Threads appearing on the first pages of the board and are asking people NOT to bump up threads simply to get the exposure. We will keep this thread bumped up so if people are interested in swaps, they will be reminded to look at the EYEWTK thread first where links to all of the Swaps will be listed. Also, if you start a NEW swap, please PM one of the mods to add your Swap to the EYEWTK thread stuck at the top of the board.

We also ask that people communicate with the Swap Coordinator by PM. That way you know that the message got to the intended person without having to bump up posts. The Swap Coordinator can keep the open dates current on the thread.

If you have any other ideas on how to make these swaps more efficient and less disruptive of the Board, please feel free to make suggestions.

We understand that newer members cannot send PMs. We encourage them to take an active role in posting on other discussions so that they can earn that privilige. It doesn't take a large number of posts.

The moderators thank you in advance for your cooperation!

I just updated the list. Someone canceled in Nov., so those dates are now available.

Also, in case some of you may not know-turning40withmickey will be purchasing the fridge in her home town and bringing it with her. So we will all pay her for the fridge. We'll know more about price after she purchases the fridge. She'll also be decorating it.

As always, let me know if you have questions or if you will no longer be able to participate in the swap. My e-mail is krystalleigh1@yahoo.com.

I know the moderators don't want us to bump this thread due to so many fridge swaps taking up the budget board, but I know some people don't always check their e-mail or it goes to spam (please add my e-mail to your address book, by the way so that dosen't happen). So this is not an attempt to bump. Just a quick update for those who are not reading my e-mails.

 

[krystalleigh1]

We now have Aug 27th-Sept 4th open. If anyone knows of someone interested in swapping during that time please send them our way.

 

[krystalleigh1]

turning40withmickey has bought a fridge! It's a 1.7 cu. ft frost free compact refrigerator made by Avanti. She's going to decorate the box, put my real name and phone number on it and include some duct tape and disenfectant wipes in the box. You'll all be recieving an e-mail shortly (by the end of the week) letting you know how much you'll owe turning40withmickey, how to pay, and where to send payment. Don't forget to add my e-mail address to your address book so it's not filtered as spam. I'll talk to you all soon!

 

[Kimberlyfamilyfv]

thanks

 

[krystalleigh1]

Just waiting for payment from pamrob and 2forMe and then we'll be all set! Now I just have to count down the days until my vacation!

Any DISer's need a free fridge in October?

 

[dizzycrazy]

Not October but July 23-28! Are there any openings? If so, let me know what I need to do! Thanks I think I also PMed you! Hope it went through!

 

[krystalleigh1]

Please contact me. I haven't heard from you in a while and we have not yet recieved payment for your portion of the swap yet. If you've sent it-great-if not-fine too-I just need to know what's going on. I've tried PMing you and e-mailing you and haven't got a response yet, so I thought I'd try this out. If I don't hear from you in the next couple of days I'm going to have to open your dates up for another swapper. If you're no longer interested in the swap, not a problem, just let me know so I can open up your dates that much sooner. Thanks!

 

[karensokool]

Krystal, I PM'ed you. I can take 2forMe's dates if she declines them or doesn't contact you. Please consider me. Thanks!

 

[krystalleigh1]

If 2forMe dosen't contact me by Wed. morning it's all yours. I put you down as an alternate for now.

 

[krystalleigh1]

Sorry 2forMe-time's up. I've given you about a week after the official cut off time for making payments to turning40withmickey and still haven't heard anything from you. I'm assuming you're out of the swap. So your spot has been filled with someone else.

 

[krystalleigh1]

Just anothe quick update:

I've sent out e-mails to our first 4 swappers with the contact info for the persons before and after you on the list. If you have not got this e-mail please let me know. Also, it's important that you initiate contact with the person befor and after your vacation to arrange a time to swap preferably in person. So all of the August swappers should now have contact information.

In the next couple of weeks I'm going to send out contact information for my September swappers.

It's important that you contact the people before and after you at least 2 weeks before your trip and would be ideal if you touched base with them again one more time to confirm the swap place/time.

Let me know if you have trouble making contact with anyone-but all of my August and Sept swappers have confirmed with me and paid-so I'm not too worried about anyone not following through. We have a great group!
