Postal strikes seem to have really affected how long it takes a parcel to get delivered. My parcel was posted on December 3rd and the lovely santa had paid for first class post, yet it only arrived yesterday!

I know I did a next day delivery on mine still took 3 days. It’s a bit of a mess and it’s the posties i feel for. Still nothing here but it was only posted on the 12th.

2 Xmas parcels have arrived so things are slowly getting through.

Our postie is so sad he obviously wants the pay and conditions addressed but says he is scared he’ll lose his job and it’s a job he loves.

Oh my word what a mare. A parcel arrived today lots of little parcels and a card. Thinking FSS I opened the card. It’s from another running group secret Santa! 😲😲😬😬😳😳

I had missed this FB group was doing one. Commented gutted to miss it maybe next year. Got a message to say you can still sign up I tried, failed, gave up.

The parcel was from them!!! So found a link and sure enough I’d been allocated a person I felt sick. Thank god for Amazon prime gift dispatched. I feel awful it’s not wrapped but it was that or they’d not get anything. I hope they forgive me.

I notice the spreadsheet was updated to say it was safe to open.

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.

Spreadsheet Link Here docs.google.com
