Happy birthday for Saturday and glad your parcel has arrived. The strikes seem to have caused delays but so far no missing parcels let’s hope that is the case.

Good King Carpathius
I can see mine was posted on the 2nd but nothing received here - I've double checked family and neighbours as I was in hospital for 5 days.
Hopefully it's just postal issues. Please don't send something else!

Oh dear Carpathus sorry to hear you’ve been in hospital I hope you’re ok and hope your parcel turns up. The post stokes have been so disruptive

Hope you receive your gift, carpathius. My gift is also listed as posted on the spreadsheet and hasn't arrived. Same applies for me. Hopefully it's just in the backlog because of the post strikes.

I think it is the strikes as Christmas cards I sent first class took 8 working days to arrive!

Hope your gift arrives Carpathuis and Nessy.

Looking at the spreadsheet there are a few posted around that time that dont appear to have arrived yet. Its all very random. I ordered some glasses as a wedding present (wedding next October) they've come today they were posted on 48hr tracked its took a week.

Hubby ordered some clothes 3 week ago, 2 parcels arrived 1 still on route.

It is quite random. Two parcels that I sent 2nd class to different folk were delivered in two days, which is much sooner than I’d have expected in normal circumstances. 🤷‍♂️

Excellent news!

About This Thread

Maintained by geordiegirl
If you’d like to take part here are some instructions for the 2022 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) We don’t have a group now so I’ve added a tab to the spreadsheet for hints tips and allergies. Link here Spreadsheet Link Here docs.google.com

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 & we do have to contend with postal strikes this year too. But you can also 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.
