Do they go at your cards with rulers?:P

I have to praise the lady in the window again- apparently I am not allowed to tape up my packets (er?) but she took them in anyway.

I would like a clear description of how a package should look. Whatever I do seems to be wrong.

If you can't tape up your packages how the heck are you supposed to seal them???

I use two layers of brown paper ( I bought such a useless roll of the stuff I have to use 2 layers ) and then I tape it up mercilessly. I have industrial grade tape that I used to seal the boxes I moved house with. Nothing gets those suckers off - you have to rip whatever they are taped to :mrgreen:

But of course.... but you know what?

There's a peculiar Swiss tradition that all but demands the eating of ginger-bread like substances on 6th Jan :wink:

:halo:
yeah :roll: And I have to apologize too - your packet is still sitting here for I'm still missing something... and that won't make it till after the New Year :(

Don't worry...I'm grateful and shocked enough to know there IS a packet. :Q You know the job of spoiling me is already taken? :P But everyone seems to want it...

:LMAO:

Sixth January, eh...well, I'll see what I can do. It was just the amount of letters that did me in...

:D

Some of you might not get a letter at all. I'm completely disorganised. :( Please don't anyone take it personally.

Hey Rodia - while we're griping about post offices, I sent you a parcel about THREE WEEKS ago. Nothing yet??

Warsaw is better, so don't worry- and I don't expect good service over Christmas. If it was slow in arriving it'll take more time now. I just hope they didn't lose it...

I'm gonna have steam coming off the top of my head if they lose the parcel I sent you ...

I've also sent a HUGE thing to Anthriel on the 27th November, and she hadn't received it yet. I'm frantic with worry over that one since one of the things in it was watercolour paintings I did for her children. Gonna be too damn late for Christmas, if it arrives at all. I can't just recreate paintings from scratch - if they lost it I'm going to be HOPPING mad ... :(

Same as I'll be if they lose the one I sent you. It's also irreplaceable.

Ooooh ooooohhh!!! :mrgreen: That sounds wonderful!

I wish it was here allready!!

I actually have a slip from the post office saying there's been a parcel too large for my P.O. Box *bounces* I have no idea what that is ... but I'm working late today so I can't go fetch it yet :(
