Ok This has been stated in my usernotes but I am posting here as well.

I unfortunately at this late date will have to pull out of the list. I have been unable for over two weeks now get online, this is my first taster since getting back on. Now I understand most members will have sent their cards already and I have recieved some so far that tallies 3 recieved. I regret not being able to send my own out now at this late stage (royal mail sucks, getting the cards and sending them now means you may just recieve them for valentines day! I don't consider that an option) and thank those of you who have sent their cards to me already. I don't expect a card of some members on the list (Twisted Tinkerbell to be precise, everyone else who does send one will be a pleasant surprise) but look forwards to reading the ones I get.

Rusty yours was especially sweet and thanks a lot for sending it.

Kikkimm I really didn't expect one from you to be honest, cali is a long way away, ok so not so far as austrailia but still I was stunned to see that the first two cards I got were from abroad but thoroughly enjoyed it, my sister in law now jokes that I am in high demand by women across the world....I loved it.

Yumi I recieved yours this morning and was equally pleased with the recieving of it (I actually like recieving things in the mail, except bills) I had a little difficulty reading your handwriting on the card but understood the message and laughed a lot at my cat who managed to get covered in silver glitter from the card...he is a black cat.

Again my apologies for not being able to send a xmas card back to people. However I am working things out in my head and well I have come to a conclusion that with the permission of the members who sent me their xmas cards I will keep a record of their address and birthday and will without fail send each and every one of them a card However should I fail the birthday card quest I will find atleast one holiday I can send a card for...Valentines for example.

PM me about this if you wish to be kept on a list, (offline so as to be secure from hackers/thieves) for me to return this favour to you at some point.
