You say potato....

Hmmm is that a clue... we have a potato signed up to the Santa list!

I doubt it's me as I've already received my package, though now I think about it, there isn't a postage label on it just a note that says "don't open until christmas" , and it was delivered to me directly from the neighbour, and it smells like ****

Are we meant to be sending sending tracking codes via the elfster site? (anonymously of course)

Can't see that in the rules anywhere, but could be useful?

I think your victim would then at least know when the parcel is being delivered, so could be handy.

You can but depending on the delivery service you've used them it may show where it was dropped off and give an indication to your victim. Therefore I haven't.

 

[Nabinium]

Also, I realised you've just basically revealed yourself by asking this question on the thread... so if you do send them the tracking code, then well...

Not done this before so not sure what I need to do now. But sent mine a few days ago.

Just mark it as despatched on elfster if you haven't already

I'll update the thread with received pressies this weekend. I started a new job last week and can't access OCUK on my work computer anymore

Damn. Specifically OcUK, or have they just restricted various external stuff?

Everything pretty much. It's a bank so I've even got one of those dumbass cards sticking out the side of my laptop. I'm also not keen on getting busted for using the laptop for browsing personal crap during working hours.

My last place it was a free for all, they were too tight to spend any money on active monitoring so I just browsed everything all day, proving their point.
