RAOK train.

[bargain_hunter_lola]

I would like to join please! Don't have many coupons or a current WL as I am not on here as often as I'd like to be!

That's ok! You don't actually need a wishlist, just send me a small blurb about yourself. The bigger the better, so your buddy will get to know you and get ideas.

Looks like there's only 1 spot left!

Don't be shy just 1 more rider.

Thanks for adding me to the list! I just have to come up with my description in a bit. I don't really know what to say. Any suggestions?

[bargain_hunter_lola]

I did a paragraph about myself (hobbies, likes, things I collect, favourite colours) and a paragraph about my family (same type things - brief description and likes, favourite colours).

You can provide whatever information you like. It's just to give your buddy an idea of who you are and what you like or dislike.

Maybe you hate a certain colour, it might be a good idea to let your buddy know. lol. Or if you collect something - stickers, movies, magnets, posters, shot glasses, the list goes on! Maybe there's a certain item you love but never buy for yourself (or can't find), or maybe list your favourite stores to shop at, or if you have a favourite author/magazine, maybe a favourite chocolate bar, are there coupons you're looking for (do you have a posted wishlist?).

There's really no pressure. You can put whatever information you like in your summary. It is up to your buddy to decide what to send to you. They might see a post you posted and go off that instead of your summary. It'll be a surprise!

Just make sure when you are doing up your envie that you send something thoughtful to your buddy!

Ok, wth count me in! I read this thread yesterday and was trying to decide but seeing ti filling up fast Ill jump on

[bargain_hunter_lola]

Awesome! We are now full.

I will forward everyone their buddy's name & summary when I receive them all. Should be within a day or two.

I have set mail day for Sunday April 26th to give everyone time to research and look for something for their buddy.

[macw1960]

Waiting patiently.

[JadeAngel]

Just putting in the finishing touches on my description. Will be sending it tomorrow morning after 9:30 am.

Do we post our RAOK story here or send it to you anonymously Lola?

You can post them here, that way people can vote at the end of the train.

I started an RAOK thread to give away 3 envies to newbies but I haven't received any PMs yet. Might have to bump up the trade rating max. lol

I also bought the young moms coffee at Tim Hortons behind me yesterday.

I'm hoping the weather gets warmer soon so I can leave bubbles at the park. I love that idea! My kids love bubbles!

Yesterday parents who participated in the Little Caesars fundraising for my kids school were to pickup items after 2pm. I was there about 2:05 but no delivery had arrived. There was some miscommunication between the delivery driver/company and the home and school committee. Finally, around 2:30pm the delivery guy showed up and was anything but pleasant. After some rebuttal about where the skid of food was to be placed he left it at the top of the kitchen door to be unloaded.

I am not a member of the home and school but decided to help the ladies organize the food and sort the orders.

Also, left some random coupons I will not use at the library. A few local ladies in my community started a program called "Coupons For Hunger". They donate food to the food bank using the coupons and have a drop box in every library!

I'm a bit behind, I'll try to get my small blurb done today. I've been all over the place with illness and assignment completion. Hope to get back on track asap. Looking forward to this train.
