Looks like we have parcel-turnage-uppage. My sister emailed me asking what the hell I've ordered from South Africa. You're not a liar, Syl! Well done. You're doing your country proud.

(now if only I could get off my arse and go to the supermarket)

WOO HOO! Those bastards finally traced it!

Lovely! The chips will be stale I fear.
But there are other lovely goodies too.
Please take some pics and post on flickr. It will be cool to see the parcel again!

Supermarket? Remember I said you mustn't. I'll have a Stella when I'm over.
Sheesh! Two MONTHS! *complains to postmaster*

Does it look like it's been kicked around by the Springboks? ;)

Just got home. Have opened Everything but the Simba crisps survived. Lovely box thanks I'll be doing a full write up of the Monster Munch comparison with pics on Monday (lots of work this weekend). I can divulge, to the interested, that they are much larger than our ones and are tomato in flavour (I think, they're not labled with a flavour).

Under the address label are two envelopes that ditzy miss over here forgot to put in the box. Hope you didn't throw 'em away

You're lucky I'm a right messy bastard or I might have just done that.

did you get any biltong? if you did, they'll be things that look like big dried scabs, incredibly valuable for bargaining with south africans..

I wanted to send him scabs, and even bought them, but then I thought : sending meat products is illegal because of diseases .. also, I wanted to EAT IT ;)
