Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free

It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

They can come forward if they wish to, but i don't know who they are (other than who i sent to, and who my sister sent to...). I destroyed the list as soon as the emails had been sent...

Lol! It was the most beautiful hand made slug with googly eyes and a cauliflower made out of ribbons! I can't help thinking that it may have had something to do with my misreading of the post about Britain facing a huge slug plague as something about a plague of f***ing big slugs :oops: Looks like someone has been paying attention!

It was me...and i#m glad you've said that there were some soaps in there - i had a bit of worry as i handed the parcel over at the post office that i'd forgotten to put the soaps in...

The white one is a chocolate orange salt scrubby soap, and the other one (a pink heart?!) is strawberry blancange soap.

I must admit, I only opened my presents today... :oops:

All of them, not just the secret Santa one. I suppose, anticipation is better than the present itself - or that's what I think?! :?

Anyway, I got a wonderful scarf - just my colours - a light indoors one rather than heavy duty outdoors (I'm more likely to wear one in the house in any case!), and some wonderful smelling and decidedly homemade looking soap! Thank you very much, Santa!

That's absolutely brilliant! That slug would be welcome in my garden anytime... :mrgreen: (And the cauliflower is about the size of the only one I ever managed to grow! :oops: )
