Remember Rosie used to send people all sorts of weird things in the post? She sent someone stale vitamins once. Well, I have received some beautiful stamps, they are so lovely they make me want to send stuff to people. Please post your POSTAL address so that I can send you something; I have got Cal's work address so I am going to send him something there, but it won't be weird stuff like stale vitamins, it will be something nice. Not expensive because I don't have a lot of money but it will be nice for me to send stuff. And no, Sul, I am not a Nigerian criminal who wants the information to steal the 27 pounds from your bank account. If you don't want your address on here then email me : Please? I promise to send you something nice and it will be fun to get something from someone far away. Thanks. Have a great Monday.

My monday starts with a check-up at the dentist. Only after that will I be able to determine if it might be 'great.'

Yum! Aw, War...that's awful. I hate that horrid buzzy thing they clean the teeth with.
Posted by Brock, around 6th November 2005:
 
Um, Syl?

That's NOT for cleaning you teeth with. That's why it hurts them...

Well, touche. You know all about Pain...

NO fillings for me today, mum. :o)
Posted by syl_DUPE1, around 6th November 2005:
 
Yay! Did the dentist give you a lollipop? ;)
Posted by WarHead, around 6th November 2005:
 
Nope, neither did she give me a baloon with a picture of a smiling crocodile on it. I feel cheated.

Um, does nobody want my stuff?

Rosie sent me a face made out of a foam cover for a headphone and bluetac. Can you beat that?
Posted by syl_DUPE1, around 8th November 2005:
 
I will certainly try. The only thing different about me is that I'm African, so I am likely to send you something along that vein.

rosie?
Posted by WarHead, around 8th November 2005:
 
No this is Rosie. That's all you get to see of her on Flickr. I seem to remember she removed other pics because someone was perving over them .... but I could be wrong.

Brockles...
Posted by Brock, around 8th November 2005:
 
No, she was fine with me perving. I asked her.

"Doing a Rosie"

I would have, actually. NOw she is all preggers and settled, though.

Although she may well have dropped by now, I suppose.

Okay, on my desk I have 2p, a blank CD-R, a post-it with cable information on, todays Metro and a nearly-empty packet of fags.

Which one shall I send to you?
Posted by Alfie_DUPE1, around 9th November 2005:
 
I need a CD-R to burn an album for Reddy, Doc smokes so I'm sure he would "love the fags", Syl might like a novelty 2p seeing as she can't actually spend it where she lives and Cal seems to have expressed a recent interest in public transport systems, so perhaps he would like the Metro. The post-it you can keep.
Posted by syl_DUPE1, around 10th November 2005:
 
Yip, Alfie's right, I would like the 2p. Thanks!

Yaay!

I went shopping today for gifts for Doc, Alfie and Cal. I bought something for Sal too. They are lovely. I will post them next week after I have written the letters.
Posted by syl_DUPE1, around November 2005:
 
I have written you each a letter and will be posting the gifts on Saturday. Please let me know when you get them, as a matter of interest to see how long the post takes. Thanks :)
Posted by syl_DUPE1, around November 2005:
 
The gifts are posted. (November 19th) The postal clerk said it would take from 7 to 10 days to get there. Yippeeee! Post here when you get them! I hope you like them, they are only small things.
