A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Fall Gift Swap

17th is right, if not sooner. midnight tomorrow night is the "deadline"

Tonight is the deadline! I can't wait to get my name! Do you have my phone number so you can call me and tell me my name? I will be on here until 4:30 tomorrow and I won't be on at night or Saturday and Saturday is my big shopping trip so I would like to be able to shop for my person then. I will just PM you my number Jiffy!

The deadline has passed right??? I am so excited to get my name!!

Yep it has passed Jess....

I have been patiently waiting for my name so I was really excited to see the deadline pass!

I am patiently waiting to see what y'all get

Guess what!!!! I just got my name from Jiffy.

Her internet is down so she is calling everyone with their name. Isn't she sweet!!!!

If you are not sure if she has your number PM me and I will give it to you.

My name is PERFECT for me.

I got my name. YEAH!!!!!! Mine will be easy. My phone disconnected before we finished our conversation. But I got all the info. I hope she does not think I hung up on her after I got what I wanted. !!!!

I do not have her number to call her back. So if anyone talks to her tell her Cinta did not hang up it was my phone has a mind of its own.

As her ip server blew up today, I'm sure she understands 'technical difficulties'. Who did you get? What are you getting me? When will you send it? Hurry already!

tina, who did you say you have?

I have my name!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you want to know who it is check this out:

I have my name as well!!!! now the fun begins----

I need to go read the 'sending out rules again"---

I guess it is good I can drive again, isn't it???

ok, we have limited service during daylight hours. so you'll see me off and on this weekend. i even made myself visible to get the most out of our internet ok cinta. i know you didn't hang up 'cause that was the weirdest call drop ever! and i really enjoyed talking to you, and wendy, and junie, and tina, and sheri, and diane, and rachel, for all! patunia is the only one i didn't get i don't have her phone number.

oh well, now to work on sending out the pm's

I really need to learn how to do the "spoiler" thing--when you all were learning, I was here but i just could not understand---HELP !!!

nice talking to you too Jiffy--and so glad to have my name as well.

When you are full reply there is an S up there with a / slash through it. Type what you want in the spoiler and highlight it. Then click on that /S. Whatever you highlighted will be in a spoiler box.

is this how?

DRUM ROLL PLEASE "I have......2@%(#@)*#@.


I love secrets.

These gift exchanges are so much fun.

Went shopping for @#%R$#^$ today, got a few things I wouldn't mind keeping myself.

Does anyone else have a hard time with limits or is it just me? I enjoy it though, a lot. Still have a few things I want to pick up, just couldn't get to the right store today....but I have a very good start...almost finished actually.

Off to wrap presents!!!

:ding: :ding:

Only in America Loz...........

Anyone get any shopping done this weekend?

Not this weekend yet. I will be going out tomorrow. Fun stuff is going on around here.

I looked for 1 idea but the store I was in did not stock it--However, I
actually I did buy some cute gift tags & a little something--I think I will be waiting until after Turkey day to do the rest of my shopping.

I bought my stuff. Gonna box it up tomorrow and get it in the mail Monday. It was harder than I thought. I am thrilled with the name I got, made my list, then had a terrible time finding the stuff on my list. I don't live in a big city. I didn't realize my choices are so limited in the type of stuff my friend likes.

Oh my, Sheri, now you have me worried--

I too have my list made--and I know last year when I was out I saw the things on my list---but that was then--this is now.
I hope i do not have a problem--wish me luck !! & good luck to you--------

Remember, please. Whom ever got my name. Please take pics before boxing it and sending it off. My camera is broken and I can't.

Thanks for the hints.. take photos and remember that way..

Now shoppin after Turkey day isnt good...
Our black friday wipes out all the good stuff.. Get out there now.

barb

Ok Tina, will do.

'K barb, I will--it is just that I don't feel the best--but I agree with you about the after BF thing--so perhpas I will try to go early monday am---

if i stick to my list (time wise) prehaps it will be ok---

I am getting mine ready to go out this week. I have a two week business trip starting next Sunday so I will not be back until Dec 8th. So if my partner does not hear from me when it arrives that is why.

My daughter will be home and take the package in so have no fear it will not be sitting on my porch until I get back. I told her to put it under the tree until I get back.

EDIT...

I just thought of a suggestion. If my partner wants to send my package later it would be alright with me since I will not be here anyway. If the moderators do not mind I do not mind a later send date.

:breakfas
Sorry juniegirl,

I might do it too, monday am..
I forgot to get turkey...........
Just figured out on thursday it was this week and we aren't prepared.

THe snow just melted...That is good....I am afraid my wallet will too.

I find the best way to save money, dont buy a new vehicle.. Mine is 7 years old and I am loving it .(No payments)

inta

do you have your tree up ????????????

It will be put up before I leave.

This trip is always the first two weeks of December. (It is one week earlier this year). Since I know this is my hardest trip of the year. After Thanksgiving dinner. I gather the family and we put up the trees so when I come home from the business trip I can enjoy the holidays.

A few years I did not do this and it was just to hard on me to enjoy my holidays.

Notice I said trees. I have my living room tree that is all the crystal. The family room tree is birds and my bedroom tree is my small friend tree with ornaments from friends, family, and co-workers. The bedroom tree I put up and get all sentimental and puts me in the spirit.

Will you show us the trees on here soon as your done>?

Please.. sounds great.

OK if you want to see my holiday madness.

My family keeps telling me to stop. It is easy to put up it is the taking down that is hard.

Oh goody......I like lookin as well as decorating.

Who needs the professionals?

b

You need a professional in a white coat dodge.

I'm impressed Cinta that you're already putting up your tree. I don't even have one - haven't even looked.
