Chemical Chaos: Was the package received? The reindeer in Royal Mail were reluctant to carry the package due to the recipient name: Chemical Chaos. Possibly confusing me for a rubbish terrorist/drug dealer who dresses as Santa Clause and asks reindeer to carry contraband that has an incriminating name on it... I'd make a terrible terrorist/drug dealer.
Hi, yes - I think I posted a few days ago that it had arrived at home whilst I was still at uni.
It has in fact slipped my mind.to go and photograph it now I'm home, I shall do so!

MESSAGES OF THE DAY

Dan_1981: Ok back up plan has been in action. 2 gifts arriving tomorrow and one on Saturday. I have put PHSS on the label. Sorry there isn't any wrapping and sorry the other gifts never arrived. Gutted thought one of them would have been right up your street too frown And a side note. The Fun Fact is just my email signature no real relevance to what is/was on route.

I was allowed to open the box and here it is :

One can of Stroopwaffels, very stylish in Delft tiles design.

One CD with all annual #1 Hits from my year of birth until today,

a DVD was needed for that......[/oldgit]

And two nice surprises for 25th, looks good so far, nothing penile-shaped and it does not tick.

Santa!!!!!

The original three gifts have been delivered this morning by Royal Mail - there is no indication of why they have taken so long, postage and everything else is correct - it's stamped with the 14th for processing - so it appears 2nd class postage can now take ten days!

Let me know if you'd like me to return any of these gifts or the alternates - I feel a little fraudulent with so many gifts now!

My Mrs informs me that mine was delivered this morning. Will take photos when/if I get home... Seems like my santa, I'm not very well either.

Dan_1981: In the spirit of Christmas I would like you to keep all gifts. One is a duplicate but please if you know anyone that would like it please gift this forward please. Alternatively if you can make use of 2 then please do. Merry Christmas, Santa

Samdale: the second package is gifts 2&3 together, so you have everything he needs.

Viperz888: Here are your further instructions. Santa has finished his off season work and has two Elves with snot coming out of their eyes, so has been somewhat sidetracked and fully missed the last post. The Moose will send you an email with 4 attachments. You will not open any of these attachments until The Day. Then you will open your attachments and your presents in the following sequence:

1. The .doc file with your name and the number 1 on it
2. Your non-suspicious presents
3. The two jpegs - they're pretty crucial to proceedings, to be honest.
4. The present you are suspicious of
5. The other .doc file

Apologies for being so specific but you've shown yourself to have the restraint of a 3 year old when it comes to presents!

Santa

My young 'un decided father Christmas would quite like brandy instead of milk this year, so poured out a huge glass of it. It can't go back in the bottle now, can it? That would infect the rest of the bottle.

Seems I'm not going to be awake before 10 tomorrow, so I'll wish everyone a very merry Christmas now. Hope your SS's have been good to you and the real Santa brings you lots of goodies too biggrin

Er, don't know yet - I am in Canada - if you sent a square parcel to my address then (according to my house-sitter) yes, if to the alternate address then I will find out in two days.... wink

Merry Christmas all.
