Sorry ladies, just got back from Christmas shopping and here we are.

Could you all pm me your address and real name details please and when we are full I will send you my address to send your lovely fibres to.

The postage costs will be around 64p so if you put 3 stamps in just in case, and I will send any spare back. Please make sure the envelopes you send are big enough bearing in mind that some of the fibres you get back may be chunkier than the ones you send. Don't forget to put your UKS AND your real name on your packet, or in it, when you send your fibres :)

[scrapperkat]

yayyy me please!

[scrapperkat]

(christmas shopping at nearly midnight???!!!)

[mum2a16yrold]

Yep, Meadowhall doesn't shut til 10 and restaurants/foodcourt at 11, but it was the traffic getting out at 10 that was the killer. But at least I got most of my Christmas shopping done. :)

[scrapperkat]

wow :) I'd love shops that open that late! Think the Oracle might be 9ish... hmm...

[purplejulie]

Do we need to let you know what sort of colour we are getting?

[mum2a16yrold]

Yes please when you know what you are sending let me know and I will put it on the list at the top. :)

[cw18]

oooh! I'd love to join in. Saw some fantastic wool in my local shop when I bought my 'beautiful buttons' from them :)

Will PM you.

[mum2a16yrold]

Glad to have you, will add you to the list. :)

[Sambelina]

Thanks for adding me Ann

[LUCY C-T]

Can I join please? Have pm'd you Ann.

[alisonf]

Pm'ing you now - I've never bought fibres, so would love to join in!

[Elin]

Hello all! Just logging in!

I love the idea that you buy a ball of wool and just by cuting it up it transforms into this magical thing called 'fibres':lol:

[cw18]

I love the idea that you buy a ball of wool and just by cuting it up it transforms into this magical thing called 'fibres':lol:

and it makes the price of them so much cheaper than buying cards of 'fibres' from the craft stores too :wub:

[cw18]

OK all... well, seeing as it's almost Christmas (and I know these will probably be a 'late' Christmas pressie), you're going to be getting double quantities from me :wub:

Just got back from the local wool shop, and after much ooh-ing and aah-ing I got stuck between two colours of the same wool -- which she had in the window. It then transpired that they were in the window as they're on stock clearance -- at about 60% off!! So I bought both, and I'm going to send everyone 3m of each -- and it still works out cheaper than just 3m of the one which was my next choice :D

One is a mohair type cerise, and the other is mohair type royal blue. Each of them has thread 'tufts' in golden yellow, golden orange, royal blue, turquoise and red (each tuft has all these colours).

[Elin]

Sounds gorgeous Cheryl! And so generous!!

[Elins Mum]

Ann can I join in too please - Elin's just told me about it. This will be my 10th post so I'll PM you in an hour. This will be my first swap!

[bumpybecky]

just back from the wool shop, not sure if I've made a mistake...

I let dd2 choose :lol:

hope you've all got sunglasses :rolleyes: it's Gigi (long eyelash) in citron lime

I think I'll put in something a little less bright as well :)

[lacey]

Hi ..... can I join in too please? Not done a swap (or anything else for that matter!!) before but would like to take part. Pmmm ing you now.

Sue

[cw18]

just back from the wool shop, not sure if I've made a mistake...

I let dd2 choose :lol:

hope you've all got sunglasses :rolleyes: it's Gigi (long eyelash) in citron lime

I think I'll put in something a little less bright as well :)

I think it looks wonderful :D

How old is dd2?

[bumpybecky]

dd2 is 5 :)

dd3 is now 'helping' me cut it up - she's 9 month and frankly not very good at helping with wool :lol:

[mum2a16yrold]

I love it and a good job too because that what I bought of Ebay, but 4 different colours so I will send a different one. :)

Have just added mystydog, LUCY C-T, alisonf, Elins Mum and lacey to the list, Welcome everyone, I am really looking forward to receiving all these scrumptious fibres (OK Elin, WOOL :lol: ).

[Kelley S]

Can i join please? never done a fibre (wool lol) swap before, but i am actually starting to use them more in my LO and projects.

[LUCY C-T]

Been shopping, got fibres (amongst other things :lol:). I've attached a thumbnail but to describe them, they're predominantly red with red shiny fibres and a few mauve fibres too. Hope you like.

[dancingfrog]

Hi

Could I join please, can do some greeny/blue glittery fibre/wool if that's ok - will pm you Anne :)

Jayne

[jennytrue]

Thanks for adding me Ann, looking forward to taking part, have'nt got any wool yet but will let you know what colour when i do. Thanks, Jenny

[alisonf]

I've bought some pink wool/fibres if you can add that to the list please? :)

[kitty falol]

Ooh, can I join too?

I've not got any yarn yet, but I can get some tomorrow.

:love: Kitty

[cathk]

hi can i join too please? will let you know what fibres when i've been shopping :)

[fiona3103]

Thank you for letting me join this is my second fibre swap, I'm just a sucker for fibres.
Now must go and see what the shops got!

[Helen C]

I would like to join the swap too- I have bought some raspberry fringed 'wool' and will also add some plae blue/white mohair lengths (left from an old knitting project but I think it would look lovely on a wintery page)

Just off to PM you now :D

[Sally50]

:rolleyes: Okay mines ready to send, I will post on Tuesday
As the fibres are fine in my choice I am sending 2x6mts(at least) for everyone. First colour is multi candy colours with a small slub in it. The second is a fine black with multi glitter strands in.

Sally :P

[mum2a16yrold]

Wow Sally that was quick. :)

I have added, Jasmine, Helen C and Tontodollydog to the list. If I have missed anyone please shout. :)

[LUCY C-T]

Got mine measured up and bundled tonight. DH helped, I let him be I.C. of counting and QC!!(well it made him feel useful :lol:) The stamps, are they 3 x 2nd class or 1st class? I haven't a clue how much each are worth these days as they now just have 1st and 2nd on them. Also Ann can you pm me your addy, so that I can send them to you please, thanks.

[cw18]

1st class is 30p, which is up to 60g. It's then 46p to 100g, 64p to 150g, 79p to 200g, and 94p to 250g.

2nd class is 21p, which is up to 60g. It's then 35p to 100g, 47p to 150g, 58p to 200g, and 71p to 250g.

So, in theory 3x1st would cover 200g 1st class or 250g 2nd class. 3x2nd would only cover 100g 1st class or 200g 2nd.

As it looks like I started something by declaring my intention to send 2 types (due to the fact I couldn't decide which to use, and they were in the sale anyway!) I plan to send at least the 3x1st class stamps.

[mum2a16yrold]

Hopefully everyone had got my address now by pm, if you haven't please let me know.

If you put 3 first class stamps in, I will have them weighed and if they are not all needed I will send you the extra one back. Obviously if you stick them onto the envelope, I won't be able to send them back. :)

[Scrappin Sarah]

Ann, Please can I join. I have sent you a PM

[LUCY C-T]

Thanks for the posting info Cheryl, it'll be useful to keep for other postings!

[mum2a16yrold]

Just 5 more places left. :)

[kitty falol]

I've just nipped out and bought mine.

I've got a ball of red/vermillion Patons 'Whisper' and she also had a very sorry looking ball on sale with no label that was a spaced dyed silver/white/blue yellow.... once I manage to untangle it it will be lovely!

Both of them are knitted fancy yarns with loose strands

[fiona3103]

Hi, been to the shop. I've Mink rainbow and Mink eyeslash. I was going to 1.5m of each if thats ok so everyone gets the same

[kitty falol]

I've just posted mine now, so they should be with you in the next few days.

[Sally50]

Been to the post office today and posted my fibres. :D Got caught in the bad rain storm, I kept the envelope dry under my coat, but I got soaked!lol :angry:


Sally :P

[Liz Counsell]

Ann

Nearly missed this - am I in time to grab the last place?

[Kelley S]

I dont know what colour to get yet. Not impressed with my local shop. So i will try and go further a field at the weekend. OH might have to take me to dinner if we go shopping somewhere else. What a shame. :D (not. lol)

[mum2a16yrold]

Been to the post office today and posted my fibres. :D Got caught in the bad rain storm, I kept the envelope dry under my coat, but I got soaked!lol :angry:


Sally :P
As long as the fibres stayed dry that's the important thing.:lol: :P

[mum2a16yrold]

You certainly are Liz. I will add you to the list. Thats us Full.... :D

[mum2a16yrold]

Swap Now Full

[purplejulie]

I got mine today, a lovely purply random fringe one - rich red to purples. Will try and add a photo in a bit. Also got a lovely brown/lightblue/pink muted shades eyelash one - but this will just have to be a bonus bit as not so much in this ball.

I just couldn't decide!

[Liz Counsell]

Oh thank you, thank you. I'll pm you my details.

[mum2a16yrold]

Well I had some gorgeous candy pink eyelash wool delivered today from ebay and you'll never believe it, I am ............knitting a scarf for DS girlfriend for Christmas. :o

[LUCY C-T]

Hope you don't run out and start using the swap fibres! :lol: Just signing in to say they're packed up and ready to go, just got to put them in the post box, which incidently is just outside my house!

[mum2a16yrold]

Oooh, I can't wait to start receiving these lovely fibres. Hmmmm.... multicoloured fringes on the end of her candy pink scarf. :lol:

[mum2a16yrold]

The postie has just handed DH an armful of packages and all for me, :o Anyway 2 packages of fibres amongst them, one from Sally 50 and the other from Kitty Falol. Thanks ladies. :)

[purplejulie]

Just realised i amy have described mine slightly wrong - what i call fringe could also very easily be called eyelash!!

[mum2a16yrold]

No problem Julie, it's a very 'wooly' :lol: area.

[Sally50]

Glad you got them Ann

Sally

[Liz Counsell]

No problem Julie, it's a very 'wooly' :lol: area.

Ouch! :lol:

[fiona3103]

That's the fibres cut, just to bag them now.

[mum2a16yrold]

Looking forward to seeing them. :)

[Liz Counsell]

Got mine all ready to go.

Ann - can I give you mine at Scrapaholics tomorrow - or are you not going - or would you prefer me to post them as I know you're always piled high with stash?

[mum2a16yrold]

Liz, that will be absolutely fine. I will be there and believe it or not I am travelling light this time. (well that's the plan anyway) I haven't bought the kit this time so I am going to work on a paperbag book, for a christmas present I need to get done. So I am coming without all my usual luggage and just bringing the essentials, all bagged and boxed. :)

[mum2a16yrold]

Just received a bag of the most gorgeous fibres from LUCY C-T this morning, I will put them away when I can stop stroking them. :rolleyes:

[LUCY C-T]

Don't wear them out!:lol: glad you like them.

[Liz Counsell]

I am travelling light this time. :)

This I have to see. :D

[mum2a16yrold]

This I have to see. :D

:lol: :lol: Right the Challenge is on. :P

[jasmine]

Ann, I've posted today

[AliBlack]

Mine is multicoloured, too many colours to mention!! But mostly green/blue/pink. It will only be enough for a bit more than 2 metres per person, is that ok? If not I will need to wait 'til next week before I can afford another ball :lol: totally skint this week :unsure:

[mum2a16yrold]

Ali, that is fine, it was 2 - 3 metres anyway. I am sure they are making them smaller.

Jasmine, I will look forward to receiving them. :)

[LUCY C-T]

I agree with them making them smaller Ann. I think they're sneeky, I mean how many people other than us would actually measure to see if we've got the correct length! Is there a rule of thumb re weight to length ratio, because I've found that some of them have a weight on and some have length?

[cw18]

mine went in the post this morning -- my first chance this week to get to a PO !!!!



Lucy -- I find a lot have both, but you often have to squint to find the length. Some of my current ones have the length under the knitting needles or crotchet hook logos -- but I know on a couple I had earlier this year I actually had to fold back the join on the band to find it. However, on inspecting my recent purchases I've found hardly any from the 'bargain bin' have the length.... but these are 'odd ball' clearance items, so I can't help wondering if adding the length is something new for a lot of manufacturers?

[jennytrue]

Hi Ann, i will be sending mine beginning of next week hopefully, just need to get them all bagged up or could i send them wound up on those cardboard embroidery spools? Let me know, the wool is light blue with all different coloured bobbly bits on it, i may send a bonus metre of some pink/purple fibres i have too. This is turning into a long message but i have also noticed i am on the list twice, no.6 & 18!!! Thanks Jenny

[dancingfrog]

Hi

Will be posting mine the week before Christmas as I need to get to Nottingham for another ball, realised that the one I got doesn't have enough on it. Oh well, a good excuse to get a couple of other colours too - and call at the Card Fairy stall too. Life is just full of temptation

Jayne x

[mum2a16yrold]

OOOPS, well spotted Jenny, in that case we have one place left, if anyone knows someone who might like to fill it, send them along. :)

I have received a most gorgeous bag of fibres today from jasmine, thank you for the extras. :) This one is going to be gorgeous for a Christmas lo.

Jenny bobbins or wound is fine, whichever you prefer.

[jasmine]

I've used a little bit on a couple of christmas tags and it does look lovely. :)

[mum2a16yrold]

One Space Left!!!!

[Elin]

:lol: Ann you may have to shout louder!!

[Hysteri-CAL]

I'll join in if thats ok ? Let me know what you want - Is it 10 lots of 2m of fibres or 3m per person ?

[Hysteri-CAL]

Ooops - 30 x 2m/3m ?!!!!!

[Kelley S]

i have got eyelash type and its multi coloured. Starts purple, then blue, then pink and then white and starts again. Gotta go and buy another ball cos i cant count. lol.
The ball i have is only 45m, which isnt enough. lol. OH said he'll take me back to shop after work tomorrow so i'll post mine on Tuesday.

[Elin]

Carole it's 30 lots of 3m (but at least 2m - doesn't matter if it's 2 or 3 different fibres to make up the 3m) HTH

[Hysteri-CAL]

Thanks Elin xx

Mine will be either black & white, or black, white, grey - it will be a combination of those colours anyway !

Thanks 'mum' for the PM - I'll get them sent to you ASAP.

[Hysteri-CAL]

Mine are all wrapped and ready for posting tomorrow.

There's 2m of black with grey and white little blobs on, and 1m of black with yellow, pink, green and blue blobs. (hopes someone knows what i mean).

[mum2a16yrold]

Sounds like a lot of blobs to me Carole. :lol:

[Helen C]

I popped mine in the post box tonight so hopefully you will receive them soon :D

[bumpybecky]

Mine were posted today :) didn't have enough of the very bright green, so some have some purple in too, but all have got some cream chenille to calm things down after the bright stuff! :lol:

[cw18]

Have mine arrived yet? They were sent 1st class on Saturday, and a parcel send 1st class Recorded at the same time arrived on 13th.

[mum2a16yrold]

Not yet Cheryl, I had a parcel delivered yesterday though while I was out, but my nice postman said he will collect it from the sorting office and redeliver it today (if he remembers) to save me the 12 mile trip. :), although I am waiting for lots of parcels, (the most important being my new pink quickutz from the US), but I will let you know as soon as it arrives.

[mum2a16yrold]

I have just received fibres from the following: lacey, carole4312, Bumpy Becky (thanks for the Card. :) ), and HelenC (thank you for the little goody bag. :) )

[honeybunny]

Finally got mine today - kind of blues and pinks but a bit basic greyish. Hope thats ok

[mum2a16yrold]

Sounds lovely Rachel, anything Basic Greyish is fine by me, I :wub: BG

[Scrappin Sarah]

I got mine today. It is red with glittery bits in it and odd flecks of black and gold. (Its much nicer than I have described it) :lol:

[Sambelina]

Hi

Just to let you know I have cut, wrapped and packaged up my fibres to send to you. They are black,white, grey monochramatic and eyelashy!!!

All being well I should get them to the post office some time today.

[mum2a16yrold]

I must say, these fibres are all, looking and sounding gorgeous. :)

I will look out for it Sam.

Cheryl, my postie was off and it was another one, so I didn't get it delivered. I am going to the SO in the morning, so hopefully it is yours that is waiting for me. :)

[jennytrue]

Hi Ann, I've posted my fibres off to you 1st class this afternoon, they should be with you shortly.
Thanks, Jenny

[Kelley S]

Hiya. I have the other ball of wool that i needed. Wont have time to post it tomorrow as i am very very busy, but it will def be posted on saturday to be with you on monday. Hope you all have a nice evening. x

[mum2a16yrold]

I will look out for them ladies.

Congratulations on the weight loss Kelley, you are doing really well. :) How are you doing it? I need to lose about 5 stone myself, so I need all the tips I can get.

[purplejulie]

I posted mine this morning. so hopefully shouldnt take too long to reach you.

[mum2a16yrold]

Jenny I received yours this morning thank you. :)

[Kelley S]

I will look out for them ladies.

Congratulations on the weight loss Kelley, you are doing really well. :) How are you doing it? I need to lose about 5 stone myself, so I need all the tips I can get.

Thank you. I am doing slimming world. Its working really well for me. Bit hard to start with but its brilliant now.

[cw18]

Ann, is there still no sign of mine?

[AliBlack]

Ann, is it ok to send 1.5 metres of two different fibres, or prefer the 3 metres of one?

[mum2a16yrold]

Cheryl, my postie didn't redeliver and I haven't been able to get to theSO, I tried ringing to have it redelivered but kept getting cut off, so I am going in the morning after dropping DS off at school. I will let you know soon as I have them in my grasp. :)

Ali, 1.5m of each is fine, lots of people have done that. :)

[cw18]

Thanks :D

Just been getting twitchy as the shop I got it from shuts for the Christmas/New Year break in the next few days.... so if I need to replace I need to do it soon :(

[Elin]

mine should be in the post tomorrow. An uninspired turquoise with a slub in it but it's very useable!

[Kelley S]

Hello Ann. Mine is sorted and will be in the post tomorrow morning, so fingers crossed you will have them on tuesday.

[mum2a16yrold]

I will be on the look out for them ladies.

Cheryl I have now got your fibres and I must say they were worth the wait.:) Thank you for the little goody bag too. :wub: How did you know? :D

[alisonf]

I sent mine on Saturday Recorded Delivery - hopefully you will get them before Christmas :)

[mum2a16yrold]

Alison, they arrived about 5 minutes ago. Thank you. :)

[Elin]

Stamps feet & sulks again! Why oh why can't I remember to post this package??? It's been waiting for stamps for a week! I can't send DH out again - he's been to the post office twice today already!!!!

Ann I promise they will be there soon!

[mum2a16yrold]

:lol: No worries Elin, you do have rather a while left to get them in. :)

[alisonf]

That WAS quick! Well done RM :)

[cw18]

Cheryl I have now got your fibres and I must say they were worth the wait.:) Thank you for the little goody bag too. :wub: How did you know? :D

Glad they've arrived -- I can stop the panic now :D

And I saw your post on one of the other boards........

[AliBlack]

I've ordered some purple fibre today, so will send 1.5 of that and 1.5 of the other multicoloured stuff I've got, will send after Xmas, hope that's ok!

[dancingfrog]

Hi

Went today to get another ball of my jade glittery yarn and they've stopped stocking it. Am heartbroken, there were some lovely colours and I was clutching my pennies to buy some of each.. Luckily there was one ball of sapphire left so will send 1.5m of each. Hope to post tomorroe but will let you know if not.

Jayne x

[Elin]

my mum (Elin's mum if you hadn't guessed :lol:) has hers & is winding it up into neat packages!

[mum2a16yrold]

There is no hurry ladies. Please don't panic, I know a lot of you want to get it out of the way before Christmas. I am posting some of mine this week as well, as, after all the food and alchohol we ususally consume over the Christmas period, I probably won't even remember what I signed up for by the New Year. :rolleyes:

[lala28]

hi

i am going to finish mine off tonight, both are eyelash, one is red and one is a creamy white colour, 1.5m of each, hope thats ok

[Sambelina]

Ann

Just wondering if my fibres have arrived yet as I sent them on the 15th and other packages I sent at the same time have all arrived!!!!

[Tontodollydog]

Hi got my fibre today it is Wendy Chic and it is a purple blue burgundy colour with copper metallic thread running through it - I like it hope you ladies like it too!!! :D Although I might wait until after the new year to post it if that is okay.
:)
Love Amanda

[cathk]

Hi, just to let you know I posted mine yesterday - hope it's OK - I really liked it :)

[mum2a16yrold]

Postman has just delivered a pile of parcels and although I was in he has pushed them through the letterbox along with a card for a recorded delivery one, saying sorry you were out. So now I have to make a 16 mile round trip to the SO on Friday. Just so that I have an idea what it is, has anyone sent me fibres recorded delivery, that I haven't revceived yet, or could it be my Christmas Present from DH. :unsure:

Received from Sambelina, dancingfrog, CathK and kelley Coulson. Thanks, ladies and big thanks for the little extras. :)

[Scrappin Sarah]

Just to let you know that I won't be posting my fibre until the new year. I just haven't got time to cut it and bag it and I also don't trust the royal mail at this time of year!!!

[mum2a16yrold]

No problem Sarah, lots to look forward to in the New Year. :)

[mum2a16yrold]

Received some gorgeous fibres from HoneyBunny today. Thank you for the little album, it is very cute. :D

[mum2a16yrold]

Received fibres from tiggergirl today. Thank you. :)

[AliBlack]

Hi Ann, my fibres will be in the post Tuesday, will be sending 29 bags of 2 different fibres, each 1.5 metres, and the 30th bag is 3 metres of one fibre, I ran out of one of the fibres!

[fiona3103]

Hi, Mine will be in the post when our office opens on Wed, I've sent 30 bags each with 1.5mt of 2 different fibres in them.

[Nicci24lego]

Hiya... just cutting and wrapping my fibres... just wanted to check, was going to send 1.5 yards of a bobbly fibre called 'spalsh' that is shades of tan, brown and pale blue and 2 yards of a plainer fibre called 'symphony' that is kinda rough and shaded pretty tans/sage greens/pinks and greys (quite neutral looking so should be useful... ) but the symphony is not fringed or blobby, but fairly plain .. is that OK?
(I had also bought a fringed one called whisper but it sounds the same as the one kelly coulson has sent..)

[mum2a16yrold]

I will look out for them ladies. It sounds fine to me Nicci, it's nice to get a selection. :)

[Nicci24lego]

oh cool, Ann - will carry on wrapping them then, thought I'd better stop till I got an answer - as it takes ages to do 3m on each card (as its a plainer fibre, thought I'd do extra of it...seemed a good idea until I started wrapping! LOL!)

Received some gorgeous fibres today from, AliBlack, thank you for the extras :)

[mystydog]

Hi Ann,

Just to let you know that my fibres are in the post.

Sue

[mum2a16yrold]

OK, thanks Sue, I will watch out for them. :)

[fiona3103]

Mine are in the hands of the PO now.

[mum2a16yrold]

Thanks Fiona, will let you know, when they arrive. :)

[Nicci24lego]

Hi Ann, posted mine off today - did 1.25ish m of splash and 3m of plainer symphony...(oh and the little fibre embellie box is for you - did scribble that on a label before putting it in the package, but I think it smeared as I put it in the envelope!) - thanks for running this swap, can't wait to get my fibres back!!

[mum2a16yrold]

Fiona yours arrived today.

Thanks for letting me know. You won't be disappointed when you get them back, there are some gorgeous fibres. :)

[Tontodollydog]

My fibres were posted first thing this morning and it went first class so I am praying they arrive tommorrow. I would like to apologise to everyone for my fibres being sent right on the deadline. I ordered my fibres online and the company let me down very badly so I had to buy more fibres but I kept hoping the original ones would arrive. At least they are now on their way to you Anne.

Love Amanda

[mum2a16yrold]

Nicci, I received yours today, thank you so much for the box, it's great. :wub:

Mystydog, yours arrived today also. Thank you. :)

[mum2a16yrold]

Just received fibres from, Elin, Elins Mum and Tontodollydog. Thanks for the extra bits ladies. :) Will go and update the first page.
Not long to go now. :D

[Elin]

Ann so glad they arrived - me & mum got a bit sidetracked posting them as it was my brother's wedding! Sorry if they were late!

[Scrappin Sarah]

Didn't realise how long it would take to cut and wind 30 lots of fibres. They are all done now I just need to get an envelope big enough then I can post them tomorrow

[mum2a16yrold]

Not late at all Elin. Hope you had a good time at your brothers wedding. :)

[lala28]

Hi ladies

Sorry for the delay, i have been floored by this flu bug , will finish off the cutting and send tomorrow, thanks for your patience

[mum2a16yrold]

No problem Lynne, I have had it too. :(

[Scrappin Sarah]

Ann, I've posted my fibres so hopefully you will get them tomorrow. :lol: Can't wait to get all the fibres back. This is just what we need to chase off the January blues. Thanks for organising the swap Ann

[mum2a16yrold]

Thanks Sarah, I will keep an eye open for them. They're all gorgeous so you ladies are in for a treat. :)

[Sally50]

Sally

[lala28]

Lily x

[mum2a16yrold]

I am still waiting on two lots arriving, one lot was posted but not received so Lynne is going to send me some more out just in case, will contact the other one tonight and see where we are with it. :)

[mum2a16yrold]

Lynne, I have received your second lot of fibres today, if your first lot arrive I will send them back to you. :) Thank you.

Just waiting on one more lot now and they will be on there way home. :)

[Scrappin Sarah]

Can't wait!!! :lol:

[mum2a16yrold]

Hi all, last lot of fibres received this morning (thanks Kat) so Iwill try and sort them out tonight and get them posted Monday as I will need to take them to the PO and I am on a First Aid course from 8.30am until 5pm tomorrow, so will miss it I am afraid, but something to look forward to next week. :D

[Scrappin Sarah]

Ann

I'll look forward to the postie coming next week. Good luck with your first aid course. I renewed mine just before Christmas so I don't have to do that for another 3 years yey!!

[Tontodollydog]

Thanks Anne - oh I love knowing that I have stash coming my way. Yes postie will be getting stalked next week. Looking so forward to it. It's the surprise element not knowing exactly what you are getting.

Thanks for organising this Anne. Well done.

Love Amanda

[mum2a16yrold]

I will let you all know as soon as I have posted them and I will also try and get you all rated this weekend as well, but that will probably Sunday mornings job while DH is at work. :)

[Elin]

Ann - if you spend a little time weighing the parcels & plonking the postage on before you go to the post office, just hand the big bag of packages to the woman/man behind the counter and tell them the all have the stamps on. It's much easier than trying to put them individually in the post box, or getting them to check every one.

Looking forward to getting them all!:D

[mum2a16yrold]

Thanks Elin, I will do that. :)

[mum2a16yrold]

Well, what a weekend, sorry ladies I was at a First Aid course alll day Saturday and out Saturday night, DH was ill Sunday with a migraine, so didn't manage to get anything done until Sunday night, when he finally gave up moaning and went to bed :rolleyes:, then to top it all I was delivered a child with a raging temperature and full of cold yesterday so I couldn't get out to the PO, anyway enough moaning, they are all packed in a large bag and will be on their way to the PO in about half an hour. I will try and get you all rated within the next couple of days.

Could you please post on here and let me know when you receive your fibres and I will update the first post, I hope you enjoy using them. Thank you to everyone for taking part in my first swap. :)

[Elin]

Ann you have had a hard week! Hope everything calms down! Look forward to recieving my fibres!:D

[Scrappin Sarah]

Poor you Ann :wub:

How did the first aid course go?

I'll let you know when the fibres arrive :D

[mum2a16yrold]

Boring, boring, boring, Sarah, and I have to go again on Saturday. ***YAWN*** I have done it so many times now and apart from the recovery position nothing ever changes, the man who was taking it was huge, sweaty and didn't stand still for two minutes and he had a story to go with every single topic which makes me realise why the course has to run for 2 sessions of 7 hours. If he didn't talk so much we could have had it finished by lunchtime.

Anyway ladies your fibres are now in the loving careful and caring hands of the RM :lol:

[Scrappin Sarah]

:lol: Ann - I know the feeling its such a waste of time. I don't know why we can't do a shorter refresher course. Mine was 5 weeks of 2 1/2 hours and as you say it was only the recovery position that had changed :angry:

[dancingfrog]

Glad they are starting to get through to you. :)

I will try to get you all rated this evening, when DH has gone to work.
