NEW YEAR NEW SWAP! UK-based 37p swap

[MazdaUK]

closed - please see last post


I'm sure I'm not the only one who's been having a bit of a tidy-up over the past couple of days, and realised they've got bits left over, spare bits from kits and so on. Also I love swaps which are little or no work so who is up for a 37p swap?

Rules are pretty simple:
1. Sign up on this thread with a short list of what you would like your swap buddy to send to you.
2. I will exchange names at the end of the swap (you send to someone / they send back to you) and your items should be able to be mailed out for the cost of a 2nd class letter, currently 37p for a minimum weight (100g or less) large envelope (the size that takes an unfolded A4 sheet, max 35cm x 25cm x 2.5cm thick, so we can include paper or larger cut-outs if we want)
3. US swappers are also very welcome to join in - if you want to keep your swap local (wether UK or elsewhere) please PM me so I don't match you with a more expensive postal band.
4. If you want to add more, its up to you.
5. No complaints about what you receive, but equally if your buddy has asked for girls stuff, Disney and flowers don't send dogs, camping and cars.


Don't buy stuff specially - its surprising how many half-sheets of stickers we use, so obviously half a sheet is enough for a project!

I don't want to denude the Pizza Box circle, so if you're one of the early names for that make sure you have enough for both! (I'm sure the later names will have new stuff by the time the box reaches them anyway )

SIGN-UPS CLOSE ON 21 JANUARY. That should give everyone time to get the kids back to school and the decorations put away! I will allocate your buddies by 24 January and you should aim to go postal by 5 February latest.

Any questions PM me.

I'm closing this swap as not many poeple want to play and Alexwyattmommy is doing the same thing anyway. If you would have joined this one please go to her swap and sign up there.

I promise to check the swap calendar in future before trying to start one!

It was a good idea to try to do one just on your side of the pond. I hope more UK (Not the Wildcats) and others join in. It would be really cool to hear about what supplies are available there.

Why don't we try to do one more of these in the fall before the holidays hit? You could have the Swap Goddess put you on the calendar. I know I'll more things I can swap out even after the two pizza boxes come my way.

Our supplies tend to be similar to yours, but a LOT fewer of them and very few bargains! As a CMC I love customers who are not computer literate as they only have me or the few shops to choose from But we may have the odd different thing I suppose -lakeland Limited has really expanded its range (it used to just be freezer bags and foil trays!) and I got some nice papers from there for the recipe card swap.
