Thank you lovely Santa for my beautiful tea towel and the joy of discovering Omeo.
Love from Cattyish, about to stop colouring in long enough to have lunch.

I doubt there has been any discussion about closing it yet, so don't worry. This one still has a purpose, so is safe.

As far as I remember, it just stays open until the last Santee checks in. I think our record was March. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

The person to whom I posted a parcel hasn't checked in. I'm getting worried now. It was sent before Christmas, so over 2 weeks ago...

![[Eek!]](eek.gif) Just thought I'd chime in to ask if you know that "a rubber" is, or (was?) American slang for a condom.

In England, and for my generation, "rubber" is precisely that - a piece of rubber which is used to rub out pencil marks made on paper.
We're a nice-minded lot over here.

And she got it!
She recognized the Secret Santa and sent her thanks directly, but she also thanks St. Gwladys for setting this up.

I am hopeful that it can be done and dusted by Candlemas, it would be an excellent close of the Season.

Thank you to my not-so-secret santa for a very amusing pressie. The downside being that my mouth now has the taste of a mix of babywipes and dog food!!!

They were the worst... but the grass cuttings and boogers were no where near as bad as I'd expected.

The PM came first:
Hi,
Have you recieved your gift yet? When you do, would you post on the thread so it can be closed?
St. G.
And there in the mail box was THE PACKAGE!
What timing! Thank you St. Gwladys for putting out so much effort to make the rest of us happy.
And thank you Secret Santa.
Motherboard found the map in the back of the book, and it came in very handy. The introduction to the book of Ancient Monuments of Scotland was reminding me of Edward Gibbon - they seemed to share the assumption that their readers know geography.
But I really turned to the section on Roman Occupation first.
And the badger pin reminded me of an encounter I had in the Nevada desert:
http://www.animalplanet.com/tv-shows/animal-planet-presents/videos/top-10-odd-animal-couples-badger-coyote/
So Thank You again. Now let's see if Motherboard can help me work out who sent it.

Thanks for posting this JB, and thanks to everyone who took part.
This thread can now be CLOSED until September when I'll start a new one, so look out for that.
Thanks too to the admins for being patient!
