    I'm late and won't have a chance til next week : o I really like the person I got though and hope they understand : o

    I can't send mine until Monday either cause I don't have any money. :o

    but it will get sent!! first thing on Mon!! or second at least. :D plus I've had some difficulty finding something I think the recipient would like, but I'm hoping I'll do good.


    oh bloody hell! EDIT: I got my pressie earlier this week!! I'm very excited and amazed that I actually haven't opened it yet. lol. I was all clever and covered the customs note thingie too so I wouldn't accidentally find out what it is. :D let's see how much longer I can wait..

    As its been a while since I've been here didn't realise this thread existed (thanks Chime :p) So wolfbear is a fooking Legend of the highest order...she is now the highpriestess of Al_ville and you all shall bow at her feet :D

    Got:

    Cool PJ postcard/stickers
    Munich 07 Poster (I actually had reluctantly given my one away!!!!)
    Coolest PJ onesie for the new arrival (Mrs Al is well impressed with this ;))
    ...and a lovely note!!

    As I said in the other thread, 1 cap was missing off the bottom so hopefully nothing was missing!
    I need a coffee!

    Who said you can't open it til Christmas??
    And in my book, it is the day after Thanksgiving, therefore it IS Christmas.
    :)
    I am sending mine out tomorrow. I am so afraid the recipient won't like it. :o
    This is my first year. I am usually a good Secret Santa person, but you guys have set the bar so high. I hope my recipient likes what I am sending.

    The note inside said I couldn't... oh and Dave :o

    It's at his house, hidden and waiting to be taken to my parents for opening on Christmas day.

    I'm sending mine early next week, I won't get chance until then :(
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    Apologies, I'm responsible for that instruction!!

    You have to admit though, it's not right opening pressies before the big day!

    Hope you like Sian (and it's not a 'double'!).

  • Well, I have a box containing 2 wrapped packages... from the Netherlands to-boot!
    I'm assuming it's the secret santa prezzie as the only people I know in Holland don't have my address (as far as I know).
    Anyhoo, another 24 days is a long time to wait.... But thank you in advance to whoever it's from! :)
    ...London Doesn't Call Anymore... (rip joe)

    Yes, I have been to some Pearl Jam concerts. Several of them.

    Ohhhhh!!! Thanks Strummers!!! :D

    To be honest, I'm gonna be good and wait until the big day... it's only just over 3 weeks away and i'm gonna take great delight in opening 2 more presents than everyone else ;)

    All I know is that it's from Amazon and it's books. Book are always good in my world, so thank you :) I'll let you know how much I like them or if they're doubles after Chrimble.

    Thanks again :D

    how do you know its books? amazon sell everything from g-strings made out of sweeties to g-strings made out of sweeties... it might be them?

    it might be a fossil? how cool would it be to get a fossil?
    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.

    I've felt them. Now, unless a g-string made out of sweeties is also made from paper glue and ink, i'm pretty sure its a couple of books ;)

    might be loads of raffle tickets.

    you cheated!!! I have immense willpower with xmas pressies... my wife is astounded that i dont feel them and stuff... but i just think what if i felt it and thought "hmm a crossbow?" and then it was a crossbow, i'd be annoyed at myself as i'd guessed it... i like the 'surprise' of it all.

    Oh no, this year i'm being REALLY good. I haven't even seen any of my presents, let alone feel them!

    The only reason I know it's a book is because we were trying to work out who the present was for. It didn't have a name on it and both or Secret Santa presents were going to Dave's.

    I'm pleased it's books! There's a whole list of things the books could be about! The surprise is far from spoiled ;)
