ok so i opened mine but i'm not sure that the person who sent it has spent the £20 limit.... I'm thankful for the thought and if it was sent from abroad i understand if post was included in the limit, but....yea slightly dissapointed. Anyway i'll send the photos to stan or whomever wants em. Hope everyone is having a great christmas, and i'm about to go fill up on turkey and belgium beer! lol, I thought £20 was just a guide? I didnt spend a penny on my secret santa (other than post), I sent stuff from my own collection as i couldnt seem to find a single item they asked for on ebay at a reasonable price.

Yea but thats understandable, because i know you've got lots of dupes and spares. Anyway what else did people get? Other than copious amounts of chocolate and woolly jumpers.

Yeah, the problem with the limit is that you have to factor in shipping twice, since if you get it from eBay you have to ship it to your place, then abroad. I went over the limit for my Secret Santa because shipping alone would be close to half that limit, but not a whole lot. It's the thought that counts though, right? Just having an SMS game under your tree is already pleasure enough!

Sigh, I received my gift today, thanks! However, the presents I purchased OVER FIVE FREAKING WEEKS AGO have still not arrived! I guess there is only so much we can do to make sure this stuff is on time. I feel terrible, but at least my buddy will be happy. Can probably guess who it is now.
Edit: And yes, please PM me for email info so you can send me pictures for me to put on the page I'm working on.

Edit: And yes, please PM me for email info so you can send me pictures for me to put on the page I'm working on. I think for next year we really just need to get everything in order by October, so we have more than enough time to look for items and ship them. That extra time means more time to try and find better deals, too, so the recipient will get the most out of their wants. C'est la vie with delays, though!

Yeah, I suppose that's the best way from now on, do it WAY ahead of time so that people overseas can get items in time and send them. You never know when a seller is going to be slow or when, hopefully not though, items never even arrive.

Well, almost done with the 2007 page. No rush on your pictures, guys. Until my presents come and I send them off and my buddy FINALLY receives them, I won't be able to put up the 2008 page anyway. You'll get an idea of how it will appear once I finish this one, which I should have done in the next two days. Edit: Ha, do I have anything else to do? It's up. Enjoy! Let me know what you think, the 2008 page will essentially look like that. Anyway, everyone, please make sure when you send pictures you give me a bit of information about receiving them. Maybe you had to do a pick up at the post office, maybe they got sent to the wrong house at first, whatever. Just a little tidbit I can use for the page. Let me also know who you sent to, what you received, who sent it and what you sent so I can keep track of everything better this time around. Putting the 2007 page together was a real spiderpig in spite of how simple the lay out is. I spent hours figuring everything out from the old threads.
