With a yardblower thread heralding the imminent arrival of the snow around the country (but not Kelowna before anyone comments), I got to thinking about Christmas presents and last posting dates back to the UK.

For anyone interested, and not relying on internet shopping, the link attached gives all the details. October 27th is the key date for parcels going by surface mail.

Planning Christmas now....OMG I'm turning into my mother.

Previous years saw some useful threads about websites offering wrapping/delivery of gifts in the UK. Might dig them out once I've recovered from unseasonably early Christmas spirit. I'm resisting the urge to open the egg nog and bake mince pies.

You've been listening to Rich_007 too much.

mkmurrays

I always listen to Rich_007 too much. He's my mentor.

Steve_P

Oh...I am so sorry for you.

mkmurrays

Well, I let him think he is.


I love the first snowblower thread of the season, means winter's on it's way, like cuckoos in spring back in England.

Steve_P

Goodness not another, you're the third one that can't wait for winter.

You have a choice, to your room or go stand in the corner.

mkmurrays

I can't do either. I'm on the porch in my rocking chair, with my shotgun, hunting mice.

I am sceptical about surface mail as I sent a parcel in the middle of July and it still hasnt arrived.

It cost so much to send my airmail tho. Maybe I wont bother and just fall out with everyone instead. So much cheaper.

Alberta_Rose

Yup!

Next it'll be block-heaters and winter tires!

Oooh, oooh oooh... and where's the bestest place to ski!!!!

Steve_P

I draw the line at block heaters and winter tires.

Been there done that.

Dave+Jules

Amazon.co.uk is even cheaper

Butch Cassidy

Make that 4

Steve_P

I'm running out of corners.

Dave+Jules

I have to own up to being a little excited by the thought as well. I'll stay at the bar Steve no need to find me a corner.
