    Thank you Thank you SS! I got an awesome PJ hoodie sweatshirt! It's one I'm not familiar with so I'll have to do some research. It's like the Toronto 06 poster so I'm going to assume that's where it's from for now. Very cool! Thanks so much, hoodies are worn year round here. :) It didn't say who my SS was so I'll have to do a bit of research there as well. ;) Also, another thanks to Helen for doing this yet again. :)

    Glad you liked the hoodie, it's actually a european one from 2006 (sorry if it was full of dog hair, the stuff gets everywhere)
    I had a little note written out explaing the witch keyring, it's a Lancashire thing with the pendle witches thought it was cool.

    Thank you Sprunkn7 :mrgreen:

    I received some bootlegs ... and the amazing Space Drummer sticker (I had wanted one of these since seeing photos of them posted on the board :D) ... a reuseable bag that folds up into the shape of a fish :lol:8-) (will be great for the weekly grocery shop) ... a scarf ... and chocolate ... and all of it came in a lovely felt christmas bag.

    Thank you again so much for my gifts they were lovely :)

    Got home from the New Year's fun and games and there was a box left from the postman. Upon ripping into it very carefully I found some choice gifts from over the pond. I got a nice MiniFuckin'Cooper mug, I nice London calendar which is shot in black and white. I ask: Is there any other way to shoot pictures? A ton of candies, some chocolates and two discs of mixed music. It is always nice to get these as you hear a lot of non radio play or music that didn't get across the ocean that way. And is true "Secret Santa" tradition, they did not disclose their name. Very nice indeed.

    By the way it had a post of Nov. 21 or 24 or something like that. Man that took a long time to get here. They must be checking the mail?!?! :shock: I did not panick though as we have not had too many problems with this exchange we do on the board. "The waiting drove me mad". ;)


    Thank you "SS"!!!!!!!!!! Hope you had a great Christmas and will be enjoying a swell New Year!

    Hello and thank you, audiodave! :) And also, thank you Sian_of_the_Dead for making the lovely Christmas tree ornament that Dave included in his gift to me (so glad he stayed out of your way while you laboured over it! ;) ) I enjoyed the card and I had to giggle about your explanation about the kachina dolls, which will reside under my pillow and hopefully free me of all my worries. :D I enjoyed the CD, and the candies (YUM! Especially the Parma Violets!) I also like package of cute little froggy candles, which were a perfect chioce because I do love frog stuffs as well as candles. :) Thank you kindly, and I hope you enjoyed a wonderful holiday!

    Sorry for the delay in responding. I unplugged over the holidays. :)

    even flow - question mark - glad it finally arrived :)

    Perhaps I shouldn't have left the sweets/candies loose in the box :oops: ... may be it took so long as the customs guys must have been trying to work out what was in the box :lol:

    No problem! I'm glad you liked it :) I made all our tree decorations and some for Ms. Haiku (my SS) so it seemed only fair to make you one too :D (he's very good at staying out of my way for things like that ;) )

    BD - Thank you so much for the license plate!! :shock: :D I took 'Pearl Jam 2' in the end. Now, I know it was meant for my bike but I love it so much I don't want to risk losing it in an off road stint :oops: It currently resides in the place I spend the most time - my desk at work. It has pride of place next to my picture of Ed on my pin board. Dave's (PJ1) is on our fridge at home under my Bettie Page US license plate and next to all our PJ stickers. Thank you soooooooo much! Great present! :mrgreen:
