Secret Santa 2011

i am wanting to get a husky OR breed like your doggy, and was thinking only this a.m how they cope if you do a short run with them and how they react if you need to a longer run without them ...bet they get a right strop on...

yeah she absolutely loves it (was a right pain in the butt when she was benched recently with a skinned paw and coulnd't come ... got really mardy when I put my running kit on and didn't take her!).

Her 'little' brother is only a couple of months away from starting his running career too, so that should be fun.

time for a separate thread?

I need to start using a pooter to write my Christmas cards. My handwriting gives me away.....

Solb

I'm putting the non-openers on the naughty list

I'm trying to post a pic but have had to ask LN for techy advice.

I updated the list several pages ago but it got missed off. Can someone update the list when they're in it next with:

I opened mine this morning! oh wow!!  Thank you SS! I got some personalised chocolate and some really funky coloured nail varnish which i'm wearing at the moment!

I've had lots of comments about the colour today... and I dont give a toffee!

Well done to the Elfish organisers of Secret Santa
brilliant
cheers

E mmy

I agree.... Fantastic organisation!

SuperCaz

I think I'm going to have a bath and read my book.  It occurred to me today that I haven't had a long soak in the bath for months.  A shower at the gym is more typical.

I am waiting patiently

[Deleted User]

By 'eck it was very generous of you to let everyone go ahead and open before your present arrived

LIVERBIRD

I think whoever gets by 'eck next year should send it inJuly!

[Deleted User]

Hey, I would have been mobbed if people were waiting for me. The reindeer may have been confused as to where I wanted it delivered.

Thanks for all the thanks, its why we do it

Tickled Pink

 'Zactly!  It's one of these things which really shouldn't  work well as people are spread over the country and often don't know each other yet year after year they come up with great gifts which have obviously been given loads of thought

I only wish my work SS people gave it half as much thought ....

Two years of doing this have been great fun but I will be happy to  let somebody else nag about lists in order and without smilies and replying to emails and getting the stuff on the sleigh in time

Dear santa

Thank you so much for my pressies, I'm just about to open the bar of Green & Blacks butterscotch chocolate which is my most favourite choc, and I love my new mini hot water bottle, it's just the right size for keeping my toes toasty.

Hugs,
