think i'm sorted now - just waiting for them to arrive then I can wrap and post them out. Also over budget as well!

HecFam · 1 Dec 2014 at 09:46

I think mine came to be just in budget after the USD to GBP conversion, postage cost a bomb though. A whole lot cheaper than buying from within the Uk still.

bought mine Shipping direct as I don't want to miss the deadline I hope gift packing is upto scratch will update Tracking when shipment is confirmed

Screw it, I ordered something. Was £2 over budget but it can be found for less if you can wait a bit, which I can't.

budget is sort of a minimum spend.

give 15 expect 15 back

some peopel go above and beyond I think my santa may have over spent last year a little if he didn't then kudos as I got loads

I have over spent by a tiny bit I would have gone for more but once you add shipping it's too expensive

Overspent quite a bit this year but it look's like I have not lol

PU7E · 1 Dec 2014 at 10:53

I may have gone way over budget this time, I've had some really great gifts in the past though so it all balances out

The delivery date of one of them has fallen back to Friday the 5th though :eek:

Is the rule it has to be posted on the 6th or before, I'll be posting RMSD?

benjii · 1 Dec 2014 at 11:20

All gifts to be posted by the end of Saturday 6th December. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Dyson · 1 Dec 2014 at 12:35

Posting mine today, fingers crossed RM don't let me down

PU7E · 1 Dec 2014 at 14:08

The main item is here, so worse case I'll send the other bit separately

Diddums · 1 Dec 2014 at 15:42

Thanks TwisT.

Feel a bit bad that I only bought one item, but then my victim doesn't seem to post at all so not really making it very easy for me. Ah well, at least it's something cool.

Remember the cartoons when they opened the box and a boxing glove on a spring punched the person on the face, not that i would do that to my ss :eek:

Sorry if you have me, or to whomever has me. I don't post much and when I do it's normally about WoW. Or food. Or both.

Then ask questions on Elfster, that is what it is there for

I'm amazed at how quiet Elfster is this year, either no ones asking questions or a lot of people aren't answering them....

dottty27 · 2 Dec 2014 at 14:29

I have had zero questions this year

secretspy · 2 Dec 2014 at 14:43

I've had no questions on elfster but for my victim I just looked at the history of questions they were asked in the past. Still had no idea what to get though lol.

I've had a rather large box arrive this week for me

exciting!!

I'll just warn my SS in advance that one of the gifts I have got them isn't family friendly or forum appropriate, so they might not want to post the photo.

How are they going to know it's from you prior to opening?

Casdawer · 2 Dec 2014 at 16:47

So decided on a gift idea for my SS and I hope he enjoys it. Was going to get loads of little things but decided on one big item.

Only went a few ££ over but the item I bought should provide more than enough entertainment!

No questions from my SS yet... I hope he / she has been looking at the clues I've placed in all my posts since this thread started

They won't, I'm just warning them that they might not want to post a photo on here of the item.
