[slambert]

A lot of regular riders have a box of stuff we find on clearance sales and awesome coupon buys that we save up and use for our buddies, after a few trains you'll be out shopping and go OMG so and so would love that, LOL

Little bit of a late post

Jenny - Happy Anniversary

PammieD - Hope you feel better

My wrapping was not the best either, I am sorry buddy. I could not get to our wrapping supplies they are currently in our basement which is mid de cluttering and re organizing/renovating.

Wrapping odd shapes, I just got for it and use a lot of tape, drives some people in my family nuts as they always ask could you not find a box to which I reply they are taking all of the fun out of this.

On another note, so so so happy it is Friday this has been a serious rough week and I am ready to collapse.

Well buddies I lugged that big box in here to get it mailed off on my break this morning. I think I hurt my back It's not big but it sure is heavy! I'm a little scared what it's going to cost to mail lol. I didn't take a pic of the wrapped gifts because they all have names on them so that would be a bit too big of a hint There are a few odds and ends kind of thrown in there, hopefully you like them lol, but if not I'm sure someone will. Also - the parcel is not really from well.ca contrary to what is says I recycled the box lol. And the rain let up just enough to let me get in to work without getting soaked! Which was good because I couldn't figure out how to use the umbreall while carrying the package.

It's Friday! Leaving work at noon to head down to my parent's, my son doesn't know I'm coming early to get him, it will either go well or horribly lol. And phew a long weekend!!!!!

Good luck! We are heading up to the cottage (aka land of dial up) tonight, so probably won't be posting this weekend. Back Monday!

Wow fancy looking wrapping compared to mine! I need a few of you a little closer for wrapping assistance at Christmas. I'll have to step that part up next time! Well today is grading day and moving day. An old friend's mother passed away this week so I also am attending a funeral. Can you say DIZZY? OMG can't wait for tomorrow already. PS Lots of "Nanny and Poppy" in Cape Breton so maybe it is an East Coast thing.

Today I am taking the dog for a haircut and while she gets pampered, I am going grocery shopping! Getting all my CO51 deals and groceries. I can't believe how much money I have said using it, over $100 in like 2 1/2 months! Amazing! Have a great day ladies! Can't wait for my package!

Package Mailed! 6.8kg, so not as much as I thought, phew! A few items are small buddy but they are good, good things come in small packages right? July 3rd for the est delivery date. So you'll only have 12 days to wait to start opening

[SassyWife]

So, of course the queen of procrastination has waited 'til the last minute and now has to find a bigger box! I had everything in there all nice and neatly (well somewhat neatly - who am I kidding?) but I forgot that the "homemade" gift still had to be packed in...ugh! Speaking of this homemade gift...it's still not dry so I guess I will be trying to dry it with the blow dryer in a few minutes. I hope it makes the journey intact...although if it doesn't I can be all like "Wow, too bad it fell apart 'cause it really WAS nice" lol. Needless to day, it didn't quite turn out like it did in my head. It never does. lol

today is not a good day already - my car is currently sitting in the middle of a main street awaiting a tow! was running fine and then all of a sudden at the red light it made a super loud squealing noise and stopped running - I then had to wait for the bus which I was late for

so coyote don't think I am coming over tonight

will have to walk with my kids to the PO after work which sucks - WHY TODAY!!!

[FallenPixels]

what is a bufferbox ?

They sign for your packages then they have locked boxes in the GTA train stations, Sobeys and 7-Elevens. They email you a unique PIN when the parcel arrives in the box and you can pick it up there rather than trying to get to the PO. Since I take the train home from work, it is great for me as I just grab my packages there (and I have CP issues so cutting the local PO out of my mail helps)

I had no plan just wrapped and then numbered them after feeling to try and remember which item was which.....

I did have a plan, but then wrapped stuff and because I decided to put the extras in with each day, couldn't work out what was what from shapes, I did completely mean to make 16 an earlier # but forgot when numbering them

[coyote00]

Oh my..... do you need me to do anything? I can take your parcel in for you if you want or meet you after work and gve you a lift home. Just text me ok cause I need to go out in a bit.
