Didn't work sadly, was too heavy to go 2nd class, so they said!

 

[arctine]

Bugger.

Bugger.

Literally.

Last gift is at the post office awaiting collection. Probably a saturday morning collection, wrap and pack.

I've tried sending books 2nd class and been told they're too heavy, yet whilst I did my brief stint at the sorting depot working solely on 2nd class packets some of them were a LOT heavier then a textbook. Ill never know how it works ;p

I've outdone myself lol.

Packages boxed and box wrapped with pro skills and with a WIN reference to the ss as well

I hope my ss takes pics!

Celebratory Tea time.

How much has everyone spent? Including p&p I reckon about £35!

 

[Devrij]

Well, after retrieving my files from my dead desktop (thanks cloud backup), I realised I can't print my extra special Christmas card because my ancient canon photoprinter needs to be run in xp mode, which my gf doesn't have. Plain paper will have to do. Sorry SS! Grabbing a box from work today and posting tomorrow morning.

Thought this was a secret Santa not a Willy waving exercise?

About the same.

Didn't mean it to sound like that.

Was an impossible task keeping to the £15 budget.

Hmm may have been easier to use a customised card printing website that costs ~£2.99, would have saved you all the hassle I guess

I'll be posting my box today/tomorrow but not sure if I want to use Royal Mail or (courier -edit), I find for larger than A4 things they tend to be cheaper and it's all signed for as well.

Yeah Thundy, if I wanted willy waving I'd go to meatspin

I reckon most people will have spent the same tbh. I am absolutely skint this month (thanks quarterly energy bills ), but even so I ended up going a bit over before postage.

I didn't know my PC was going to die 2 days before posting deadline!

 

[rhysduck]

Packed, tarted up, boxed and wrapped.

The OT is on the way to post later this morning to post.. DO NOT FAIL ME WOMAN!

 

[King Damager]

I think I've actually stayed in budget this year Win.

Mind you, not sure what it'll go up to cost wise once I've posted...

[TrixiBuG]

I think inc. box and packaging mine were about £25 maybe a little under?

 

[GreenMint]

Still waiting on one thing of mine that was dispatched on Monday, should be here hopefully today and parcel off on monday as I'm away most of the weekend, sorry for the delay, I blame the shipping peoples

It WILL be with you very soon, Dear SS

 

[HumanShield]

Mines come in at around £30ish which isnt too bad.
