Actually, you'd be pretty close to the truth. In Cornwall, they call holidaymakers Emmets which translates as ants.

A quick google search and your both right!It doesn't actually - the Cornish for ants is moryon.
Mine will go to the post office tomorrow for a 24hr delivery. Apologies for not getting it out sooner, I've been snowed under with stuff and not managed to get to a PO.
My SS for me though turned up on Monday but I wasnt home and the 'sorry we missed you card' was blank so I assumed as has happened in the past the POstie would try again the next day. He didnt, so I finally relented and got the OH to go pick it up form the delivery office Friday.

That’s what I said. I’ve seen 4x4 clubs that drool over things like this!

Still too many not recorded as sent, let alone received. Get your fingers out please, and let me me know if you've sent or received them.

I’ve been home today as I received confirmation my bike was being delivered this morning. Post was delivered whilst I was there, junk mail only.
I’ll be back home in the new year but my relative said they’d continue to keep an eye out and let me know. I’ll post a message when I hear something.

Someone said Christmas was the 73rd Dec, what’s all the panic! Thankfully I ignored that advice. Although having bitten of far too much to chew, I’ve finally managed to swallow rather than choke to death. It’s going out by courier tomorrow morn.
Thought for a while I’d be sending a lump of wood and an apology.

I'd have been happy with a box of wood 
oooo maybe that's what I've got 
oooo maybe that's what I've got After looking at the previous years gifts that are made for people at least giving wood means you don't have your efforts plastered all over the internet! Its the theory I was seriously considering at one point! lolI'd have been happy with a box of wood

Depending on how well/badly Royal mail handled my gift I may well be embarrassed for my effort to be shown, 8f it arrived as I sent it then I'm more than happy for the world to see it, it's my best ever creation to date.

My recipient is on the received list. Unlike last year, I'm quite relaxed this time. Starting early definitely helped. Last year I was frantically getting the thing ready with 4 days to the big event!

I sent mine 1st class and signed for, the tracking info says it was recieved but I'm not going to believe that until the person comes here and says they have it.
