Sorry not had it either

I could be completley wrong with this idea but would it be easier if we have a separate thread for those who are yet to recieve it/or a thread for those who have received it?

This thread is getting a bit long......................

Just a thought

Dearest Grapes.

Having had a chat with Two Sheds (who started this brilliant idea and has tried so hard to get this to work the simple way) I have said I would quite like to try and help us get control of the situation. I hope no-one else minds me stepping in like this - I will find it a welcome destraction at the moment so wont mind the leg work.

I will endevour to do the following:

This morning I shall complile a list of who wants the parcel, adding in information where possible like; when received or despatched etc

This will be posted at the end of this thread so if you want to see where we are with this, going to the last post in this thread should tell you

I will accept all information on this through my personal messages.

Once a week I shall update the list and repost onto the thread.

I will include a note on the thread to advise grapes who have been skipped due to being unable to contact for address so they can advise to me an address and they can be fitted back in.


To help this work I will need the following assistance from you guys:

Please avoid posting any more on this thread, its too long, instead contact me via a personal message and I will update the information as required

Please message me as soon as you receive or despatch a parcel and if there are problems contacting the next person on the list.

Please avoid skipping names on the list, its not fair - some have been waiting a long time now.

Please keep a check on your personal messages, ready to forward your address to the current parcel holder.


Lastly - please advise if you had the parcel when and to whom you despatched it to.


I hope that by making this nice and complicated we will get back the hold on this brilliant idea - many thanks again to two sheds for trying so hard but we are just obviously very complicated people!!! LOL!!! Lets get the fun back into this - I look forward to hearing about all the new crops/plants you will all be growing soon!

At your service my dear family,

Tammy

I've got a load more to add, so if I know where it is headed to, I can send them to that person and they can add it to the packet.

Default Pass The Parcel Seed Swap - updated list 14/10/08

Here is the list so far as to where we are on this. Please note: the exact location of the 2 parcels is not yet known so PLEASE do not hassle the grapes who look like they have the parcel currently.

Any communication on this thread should now be by Personal Message only to; me (Finedon.Dandy), Two Sheds in my absence (hope thats ok TS) or the board mods (in case of complaint!)

As soon as the location of the two parcels has been established, this list will be updated accordingly and details on how to join etc added onto the same post. In the meantime please refer to my post from this morning (about 4 posts up I think) in case of query.

Have fun,

Tammy

Hi all

Just to let everyone know I have been very busy chasing the people who had the parcel last. As I havent been getting anywhere I have sought advice from the board mods who are now helping me. A new parcel will be started in the next couple of weeks if we are not able to resolve the issues - I promise! New requests will be added to the list as soon as we get it going again.

Lots of love

Tammy

Come on people! There may be very good reasons why the parcels have ground to a halt but a quick mesage to acknowledge possession and give an idea of what's going on would be much appreciated.
