Lol I know exactly how you feel,
Getting confirmation of delivery is such a relief.

 

[Stigmorgan]

However it means whoever gets a delivery in the next hour or so will know who sent it

 

[Phil Pascoe]

Not necessarily.

 

[Lefley]

looks like mine is driving around england. tracking shows it in a little truck now. Don't really know what that means !

 

[Stigmorgan]

@Lefley it means there's a very good chance it will be delivered this week

 

[Phil Pascoe]

A few still to be sent - get your fingers out, please.

 

[Stigmorgan]

Not received anything yet .

I received a parcel yesterday which I assume is the secret santa- though no indication… will wait until Christmas Day to open it

 

[Garno]

A parcel (a big one) has just arrived from Canada

hopefully it's sister arrives tommorrow, i sent them a day apart, BUT, like last year. i was just in the garage spraying lacquer on cabinets and noticed i forgot to put the card in again. That's two years in a row! That's why i usually get my wife to pack boxes!!! Grrrrrr.

Received a second such parcel today, and then realised that they are both parcels from ebay purchases last month which were delayed in the post - so no Secret Santa yet! (both opened and confirmed to be the ebay purchases.)

[Phil Pascoe]

Yes.

not much to see this year. i've been so busy working, i felt bad not putting more me time into my gift.

l love seeing every gift. i wish a lot more people would get involved. i believe secret santa is really a viechle to obtain a few more life long friends. Not just receive a gift. we all get complacent and forget it's a big world out there, and joining the secret santa club certainly only has benefits. i know i've met a few new friends, and i love to hear little bits and pieces of another culture each year.

i've heard people say i can't join secret santa as i'm not a good enough wood worker. That certainly is not what it is about. i'd rather receive a gift from a beginner woodworker that has put a bit of his heart and soul into something, while thinking about me. For instance i received a gift from a really high end wood turner years ago. a nice gift but i'm sure they turned around and grabbed one of there 100's of signature turnings off the shelf and put in a box. No thinking involved.

Then like last year i received one of the best gifts ever. Garno, ( an excellent woodturner), took the time to see i was also a cook. printed off some english sausage recipes, made me a beautiful pen with a personalized case, amount other things. i still talk about this to all my friends. Thst gift made my year. so if anyone is on the fence about joining for next year, don't hesitate. you will have fun making something for someone else and maybe even acquiring a new friend. The best gift ever!

2 packages just arrived, I'm guessing one of them is from my secret Santa but perhaps if you don't mind letting @Phil Pascoe know either way and he can let me know

 

[--Tom--]

Mine went off with the courier today, fingers crossed it will arrive safely and in time
