What Judy said and hurry up and open it please.
I child-proofed my house, but they still get in!

I am no more special than anyone else on the forum and I hope it has not been a burden. I m actually mortified.

Not going near it yet. It is quite heavy. It came from Perth.

As Judy said your SS was happy enough to pay the cost, so I'm sure they wouldn't be wanting to make you feel bad, and would be happy for you to accept in the spirit in which it was given. Enjoy the gift it looks amazing.

I finally got my gift, just need to wrap and post now, after purchasing for my recipient I couldn't help but purchase one for myself  ;D

I was lying in bed today feeling snuffly and sorry for myself when I heard a knock on the door. I debated whether to get out of bed or not, and am glad that I did as it was our lovely delivery lady with my SS parcel all the way from.......


It made me feel much better. Thank you SS

I think you put scones, bread rolls, buns or muffins in them Kim. They are gorgeous, can't remember where I've seen it - on here somewhere maybe?

Oh I am going to enjoy it for sure when I open it when I get over the shock! It does seem most unfair.

Yes CC we certainly are eclectic group.

Glad you worked out what it is for Kim - 1 item in each pouch.  It is lovely.

Kim, that is lovely
Gert, I am going to be very patient and open it closer to Christmas. It helps that we are going on holiday this week if I can shift this bug  :-\
