Maria, yours is super packed turned out the priority flat rate mall box was 30 some dollars so i had to go to the post office and swap boxes but instead i just shoved the box into a big bubble envelope :lol: still $20 bucks but alot better than 30 some.

Damn sweetie swap, all the best sweets are heavy! :p and the ones that aren't are fragile so need to be heavily padded :)
I hope you get yours soon :D

I've emailed her too and she hasn't read it yet. I wouldn't worry for now, i've dealt with her in the past and she's been really good so i'm sure she'll send :)
Okay, I wasn't too worried.. this is my first swap so I guess I'm just a bit over-eager :P

Hey, I'm alive! Sorry guys. Replied to you both.

I see that quite a few people had massive postage charges which helps make mine less painful. Still cost £19/$31 to send though! Bummer! I hope it's all worth it.

I am having the WORST luck this month.
Somebody stole my wallet, smokes, AND keys right out of my bag last night when I was out :i6:

That should teach me to hold onto my stuff a little better.

The place I was at is doing their best to track it all down as the people who put on the little event are good friends of mine. UNFORTUNATELY if they don't find it I wont be able to post until early next week when I get paid since all my money was in cash and in my wallet.

I am SO SO SO sorry for not having my sh*t together. I have everything sitting all pretty waiting to be sent

I got my parcel yesterday!! It's a beaauty! I was going to take a photo of all the yummyness but I'm afraid some of it didn't survive more than 5 seconds! :lol: The twinkies disappeared between myself, my OH and the two sproglets. YUMMY! I then threw a few bits in my bag to eat on the train on the way to see Nachtmahr last night. The door staff at the venue said I wasn't allowed to take sweets inside and they were going to take it until I said "NOOOOO! My friend just shipped them from America!" and the guy said if I put my bag in the cloakroom he would let me keep them :mrgreen: phew! Thank you so much to Convenientlust for being a fantastic swap partner. I can't wait for you to get yours now. SQUEE!!!

My parcel is on its way to my partner, although i only just read the rules.. Had in my head £10ish of goodies, plus however much postage was... spent over a tenner and the p&p came to around £15, LOL. Ah well, I hope my partner likes what I've sent!!! I'm mega excited as I sent my partner some paypal spends to pop in an extra bag of valentines candy corn, I'm thinking they might make pretty awesome cupcake toppers ;) Anyway, my parcel should be with my partner by the end of the week, hopin mines here by then to :) xx

Sooo happy to hear that you loved the sweets! I'm glad the Twinkie was a hit. I've never had one, but once you mentioned it, I had to throw one in :D I'm super duper excited for your package to come!

Heh, yeah... the consistency kinda turns me off. I put a few gourmet baked cookies and the twinkie in a box inside of the package so nothing would get crushed. A smushed twinkie or moon pie would be such a disappointment to get :P

Mine came today! So much stuff I have never even heard of. Made me realize North American candy is so boring and it would seem expensive as I wasn't able to get as much on the budget. I almost feel bad sending what I was able to find. I am sending mine tomorrow for sure and I am so sorry for the delay thank you for being patient with me!!!!

I've tried a couple things so far, so neat!!!!

I received mine yesterday and it's awesome!
I'll have to post a pic, I feel bad though as there are so many more varieties in my box (
I've never done a swap before sorry Brittany
It's so odd some of the things that are the same but different, still hiding it all from my bf! :)
