Have just got back from week long Easter hols, and got PM from TX! Hooray - it's underway! Now have to get thinking cap on re. sweeties of Scottish nature. Hmmm - any requests?

[TX_2_Pigs]

Well I have a plan. I just need to make sure they comply with veggies requirements. I think you will like it.

[Percy's Mom]

I need to get some American treats together myself. Now that Easter is passed, perhaps some Easter treats. I wonder how well Peeps would do in shipping?

[JarBax]

A plan? I like it already!

Have been scouting around for Scottish sweeties, and have already more than the 500g limit - Och well, not to worry! Think will be ready to post in a couple of days time - will let you know by PM exactly when!

I too should be able to ship off by the end of the week! OOOHH I can't wait for some foreign sweets!

For any Americans that have Canadian swaps, do you have any good ideas? Could you PM me if you do? I've got some stuff, but I'm having a hard time finding things! Thanks!

Should be posting tomorrow TX, all going well (have spent last two days cleaning up kitchen then pulling ceiling down (still have plaster dust falling out my hair 2 showers later), and trying to clear up all the mess again. All because of a pesky enigmatic leak! Grrr! Will let you know for sure.

I tried to get mine out yesterday. The place I was going to get your treats from moved! It was frustrating because I had checked their website and that was the location they listed as closest to me. And I get there and they are GONE!

So I will have to get them tomorrow. Which means they won't get to go out until Monday.

My packages are all wrapped up and ready to go, and only slightly over the limit! But that's because there was one thing I could only find in 400g package, and I had to throw a little non-edible surprise in there .

I don't know if I'll make it to the post office today, the weather is making me not want to leave the house, but I'll send them off tomorrow at the latest!

Thanks for trying Dianna, no worries re. delay!

I braved the sunny skies today, and got the parcel off to Texas this afternoon! Forgot to ask how long it would take, but bought insurance, tracking mumber is: RI 5337 9569 5GB. Guess it will be somewhere between one and two weeks! The race is on!

[TX_2_Pigs]

Yippee!

I will get yours out on Monday. I found another location that is just a little farther in another direction. So tomorrow during my lunch hour, I too will brave the sunshine to accomplish this task.

**doing the happy dance**

Ummm... there's a weight limit?

Uh....oops.

[Percy's Mom]

It's not really on "official" weight limit tlp. More of a suggestion to keep postage down for people. Work has been so incredibly insane. I'm working on getting my package out in the next couple of days. Sorry about the delay Daft!

500 g isn't very much

I got some (the good stuff) today, probably want to grab a few more things this afternoon. I'm going to try to get it in the mail Monday or Tuesday (depending when I can get out of work to get to the post office).
