Really the UK mailing system needs an efficiency check especially given a recent purchase experience!
 
I dont know whether to be worried or not that my SS has not contacted me or asked any questions or anything...I have been a very good girl this year too :(
 
When boxing stuff up are you peeps leaving clues like not boxing up certain items so if your person gives the package a good feel they can try and guess what it is?

I wrapped 2 up together and 4 up together. Then I stuck both packages together, tied a ribbon around them both, added a bow, some curls and a tag THEN put it all in a small packaging box to post in :D

LOVE rapping presents!!!

That is impressive dedication!

Makes my mere wrapping paper only seem weak :o

I think I'll leave it a surprise, must find a suitable box at work!

I think its a girl thing lol

The ribbon compliments the colour of the wrap, as does the bow and the tag matches the wrapping paper too :p

I did a personalised address sticker to go on the box :D

...I think I took it a bit too far :confused::eek:...
 
Presents have all arrived, wrapped, and now I can't find a box to send them in. Fail.

Away for the next two days too, looks like it'll be going down to the wire on the 7th. Boo!

Well you did say you were stressing out over it a while back, I can see why :p

Well the stress is still about but its more related to whether the receiver will like the presents or not! :eek:

I have been really disorganised this year and I don't like it. I don't like having to buy presents out of my December wage! Its made me poor for the rest of the month now :mad:
