Rant alert.... I really don’t get why people join in and then don’t join in .... people who are particularly quiet throughout and then those who don’t make an effort to send gifts. There was 2 occurrences in the 3 years I was chief elf where I had to buy a present as Santa’s went missing in action.

Come on guys the spirit of FSS is a bit of fun, a bit of festivity and a lot of Fetchmas!

Steps off soap box.....

Can understand your frustration. My gift has been put in the post. I estimate that it should have arrived but nothing on the spreadsheet.

Please update the spreadsheet, folks. xx

I think sometimes other stuff just gets in the way. Or it takes a while to figure out a gift if the victim doesn't blog or give hints anywhere else. Updating the spreadsheet isn't always easy - my old workplace would block it.

I'm sure we'll see a lot more activity in the next week.

Yep - I could access the spreadsheet on my phone but not edit for some reason and then it's easy to forget later.

I collected my parcel froml the sorting office today and there are now THREE lovely presents sitting waiting for my tree to go up. I was very excited when I realised it was a repurposed jiffy bag - reverse stalking! - but Santa was FAR too clever with a black marker to obscure any trace of a previous address...

Thank you, I know I haven't been an easy victim to stalk this year.

My parcel arrived on Friday, but I've only just remembered to update the spreadsheet (sorry elves!) - THANK YOU Santa, the tree is now up and your present is sitting underneath it in splendid isolation :-D
