Well folks, against my better judgement, it appears to be that time of the year again :o SOOOOOOOOOO if you want in, READ CAREFULLY! All the info you need re. signing up will be in this post:

Sign up before Monday 3rd November... any names received after this date cannot be considered - ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS... EVER

go ahead and forward the emails on to me now... but please to make it easier (READ CAREFULLY) put your user name in the subject and include all the following details:

Name
Address
Further information you may want to share in order to make buying your gift easier (age, likes/dislikes, hobbies, etc).

and send to heinekenhelen@hotmail.com



The gift you buy must value approximately:

$20 /15euro /£10 and postage is on TOP of that (since I have not added inflation ) so you must consider the weight of your gift when you buy/make it.



So here's what happens if you're in. send me an email with the details


If there's anybody on the list you don't want to have your home address... or if you want to specify something like 'I want someone from another country to get my address' or 'I'd rather get the address of someone in THIS country to save on postage'... ALL these requests will be accommodated... cos I understand not everyone gets on with everyone here... and also there's the delicate matter of sharing home addresses with people... if you like, it's even ok to just send a list of people off the list who you know personally and say you're only comfortable with one of those getting your address. If you don't specify, you must be ok with ANYONE off the list having your address... sometimes people ask for addresses of someone they didn't get to surprise them with something extra and I've given it out cos I knew the people involved.

Now that's step one taken care of. Then I will forward somebody elses email to you with all their personal details before the 10th November and you have until 28th November to buy, wrap and post the gift (please stick to this as you don't want YOUR recipient being the one bitching and moaning that it's June and they still haven't got it). You have a cost of $20/15euro/£10 (well that's value... some people choose to MAKE something... but it better be good if you're gonna do that )

And everyone should be happy. Of course there's always that chance thtat whoever gets your name chooses not to fucking bother at ALL but when there's so many people involved that's the chance you take unfortunately.

Right, so who's in?

    Excellent... I'll only start the 'who's in' list once I've got their email so it doesn't get confusing. But there's plenty of time :)

    Fancy being Santa's assistant? Since you expressed so much excitement earlier in the year. Redrock and Surfy did a fantastic job so it's only fair to share the love :)

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
