QUOTE (Mata @ Nov 12 2008, 01:14 PM)  It would be nice to make sure everyone gets things on time  It would, indeed! Those who fail to send their gifts will face the combined Candish and Cathish wrath!  Or a reminder PM, whichever. I updated the list in my other post with Missy's name. I am going to go back and bold the names as I receive addresses. Don't forget to let me know who you drew in last year's Secret Santa if you participated! It'd be nice to avoid repeats.

Erm.... seeing as I was one of the people who didn't manage to get mine sorted before xmas last year being subjected to my own Wrath could be pretty scary.......

I'll get this out of the way now - apologies to whoever I buy for, as the present may be late. Between the proposed announcement date and the last day for guaranteed Christmas post, I have very little time off. I'm off on the 9th, though, so a quick buzz round the shops of N-u-L should bear swiftly-posted fruit. Just don't cry if it takes until the New Year to arrive. I will, however, make sure that it is worth the wait.
-------------------- the end is nice |

Being slightly late is totally forgivable. If someone hasn't gotten their present by Christmas the giver will just be prodded by PM to ask if they've sent it yet. It's when it gets near to Valentine's Day that the bottom-kicking boots will come out.

 'Trouble Down Pit' now online! Group: Admin Posts: 10,139 Joined: 22-February 03 From: Southern UK Member No.: 1 Gender: Male |
Okay, I've checked:
Inside the UK, we've got until Saturday 20th for first class post (22nd for Parcel Force). From the UK to the US/Canada it looks like the 8th is the best bet, although the guidelines are a bit more squiffy on that one. If InKy isn't likely to get a chance to post things on time for the 8th, maybe he could be ensured a UK name? -------------------- Trouble Down Pit: Still updated every Monday and Friday

...or just someone in the US who doesn't mind the possiblity of lateness. I'll be sending it on the 9th, so it probably stands a decent chance of being on time anyway, or at least as near as damnit. There again, if I was put on a UK only list, I wouldn't be any the wiser, would I? Oh, the sinister machinations of secret santa...
Meh. It's all up to Cath 'n' Cand. I'm just happy to be taking part. -------------------- the end is nice |

I'd be very surprised if a gift sent on the 9th didn't reach the US in time for Christmas, even with all of the holiday mail. Really, the combined wrath is just reserved for those who are extremely tardy in sending their gift without good reason. I did not mean to strike fear into the hearts of Dragonslayers everywhere.

No fear be here. I just like to cover my arse in case of any unexpected eventualities. It was nothing to do with any potential wrath.

Remembered the thing from last year about loves, hates and vegetarianism! So to keep it short and sweet:
I love anything to do with the ocean I hate dolphins I am a vegetarian (no gelatine!) No one else has to do this if they don't want to, but I figured it might be useful

I like pretty much anything,
I hate girly things, rap/hip-hop/country music, and spiders. -------------------- Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution and for life - weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way for them to get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget God. The stars died so that you could be here today. ~Lawrence Krauss

 If my woman were a fire... Group: Established Members Posts: 3,328 Joined: 14-November 04 From: hole-in-the-ground, Texas Member No.: 1,473 Gender: Female |
Uhm, I love reading, music, and most of all fashion and art <3
I've got a weird thing for stripes, polka dots, and plaid prints. I don't like spicy or sour things (I know, I'm weird.) as far as food goes. General shopping guidlines for me (as I've told my mother over and over again) are: If it's on clothes, no glitter or sequins. Otherwise, shiney is alright. Uh I think that's it? -------------------- Her dignity shone so bright like a light on a hill and she burned for me, no other man came near her flame.

moop, snoo, and I are also vegetarians, so no gelatin for us either.
I like fun Secret Santa gifts that make me laugh. SpeakerfortheLost did quite well last year (he gave me a titanium spork and caffeinated soap). If you get me and really can't think of anything, try PMing someone who knows me a bit better.
