he's up for the meal and i can't imagine he wouldn't want to do secret santa. i'll check with him at the weekend

Stu

it's still 90 shopping days til Christmas (OK 58 to the meal)

If you think I'm going to be getting it this weekend or anytime soon :shock:


Are you not just giving yourself hassle if anyone does want to join in? I mean there could be people out there that have still to buy an SV before Christmas, or move to Guildford before then.


And anyway, what about Dan why does no one care about him? :grouphug:

Tara
25-09-08, 05:10 PM

Tara

Law
22-10-08, 05:57 PM

sorry i had a really crap day yesterday and spent most of it shouting at people then i had to give a health and safety talk so if i was short with people i'm sorry - the list is on its way i'm just waiting for my boss to disappear into a meeting i will start sending PMs

Tara
23-10-08, 08:04 AM
All PMs sent if you haven't received one let me know

kitkat
23-10-08, 04:31 PM
I wasn't serious. ;)

yes you were, you said last week after the pub that you organised it all so much better last year ;):bigsmurf:

Tara
23-10-08, 04:44 PM
maybe if he hadn't of left the forum for a while he could've organised this year - too slow

TazDaz
14-11-08, 10:31 PM
Btw...what were the rules last year? I read last years thread by Law and couldn't see any 'rules'!

From past experience is usually works better if we all wrap the presents in brown paper or newspaper so people won't be able to tell who bought what by the wrapping paper!

last year Gary collected all the presents discreetly and handed them at the table i can do that if you want, can't believe its next week
