I still have a Casio MT70 keyboard from the late 70’s. It has a “wand” that is scanned along a series of long barcodes (eat your heart out parkrun) and then plays back a tune with backing. Having loaded the tune you can put it into a mode to play the tune, following lights above the keys.
We're Rusby fans in this house as well - got to see her doing Yorkshire carols live one year back in Cardiff (and several times in the summer at Solfest), it was lovely.
She can sometimes be seen in our local Tesco (she was born and brought up round here). We’ve been to her Underneath the Stars festival several times. Hugely talented family.
Just been ordering my friend a notch keyring for her birthday to celebrate her first marathon this year. 2 new notches have fallen in the basket for family to buy me for xmas (I had a discount voucher from them so I've even saved them money! How good am I?)
Stalked my victim I have a selection of things on a list now to decide which to go for.
Instructions for the 2021 edition of Fetch Secret Santa:
1) Send an Fmail to geordiegirl with the name and address you want your parcel sent to by 1st November.
Please indicate if you’re ok to post to an overseas fetchie.
2) Join the group linked to this thread (I have recycled 2020 group so please update with a 2021 at the start so we know it is current) fetcheveryone.com/groups-view.php?id=1296
If you joined last year but don’t wish to partake you can remove yourself from the group.
3) Be Involved..... Please try not to go AWOL the buying of a SS gift is a lovely thing to do but going quiet on the thread/blogs can make it difficult. We’re not asking you to be specific but a few hints around what things make you tick, what you like / enjoy makes it that bit easier and hopefully gets you something you would like.
Of course the main aim is stalking so subtle hints are fine!
4) if you have allergies or particular dislikes then feel free to put them in the group.....
When you receive the details of your victim:
5) Stalk said victim and determine their interests.
Hint.. you can see what threads your victim posts to by typing the below in Google or whatever
VictimsFetchName site:www.fetcheveryone.com
6) Purchase gift(s) you think they will like, we have suggested £10 but up to you and remember handmade gifts are perfect too. It’s the thought that counts.
7) I’m suggesting you post the gift by 1st December as this has helped a successful SS in previous years. But it’s also ok to add an update to the spreadsheet and keep your elf updated so we can let your victim know they’ve not been forgotten. If you are posting overseas please bear in mind it can take longer than UK post.
8) Wait by your post box for your gift.
9) Sit on hands until the big day! No cheating!
On the big day:
10) Open your gift and share with everyone what you got on the thread.
Free training & racing tools for runners, cyclists, swimmers & walkers.
Fetcheveryone lets you analyse your training, find races, plot routes, chat in our forum, get advice, play games - and more!
Nothing is behind a paywall, and it'll stay that way thanks to our awesome community!
