Christmas surprise swap


HollieES

Recommended Posts

Lovely folk of the EDF, after taking part in something similar myself, I have set up a Christmas surprise swap(see attached). Essentially, if you want to take part you will be paired up with a stranger and then send each other a Christmas surprise package - a box containing something personal (maybe a favourite recipe, a book you've read, a mixtape, something homemade), something inspirational (newspaper clipping, a photo or illustration that means something to you), and a little Christmas gift (spending guide for your box is ?10 - put as much free stuff (leaves, stickers, glitter, popcorn etc.) in as you like).


To take part, please PM or email me with your name and address no later than 5pm on Thursday 21st November so that I can pair you up with a mystery swapper. Your surprise box must be posted by Friday 6th December.


This is much more fun than receiving bills.

Hollie, I just have to say a big 'Thankyou' for organising this. My mysterious & beautifully wrapped present is sitting on the side (soon to be under the tree), and I get proper Christmas excitement every time I look at it. I think it's one of the best things about Christmas 2013 so far. When I go to the shops I find myself thinking 'it might be you' as I look at the other shoppers on the lane. It makes me smile just to think of it. It's just lovely community thing to do, and I particularly liked the way you advised we structure the box. Thankyou Hollie - and whoever sent me my box - and Merry Christmas :D

    • We were trying to contact Steve on 07990904375, following this post and yet there wasn't any reply from this number. Is it a correct number to contact Steve for decoration work?  
    • You might be 'amused' but obviously its something thats enough of a concern that there are specific rules in the entrance criteria to specifically disallow this, so not exactly comparative.  Aside from the flawed analysis, the idea of so much movement that there is a massive cost to the taxpayer of finding extra schooling is also unlikely.  As I noted upthread, the cost of private school education has increased dramatically in recent years.  Increases in fees over 10% per annum in some cases, so the idea that the application of VAT would drive the majority out just isn't the case.  There will be some who can't afford it any more. But then there are lots of people who couldn't afford it in the first place. Anyone who has accepted a school place in the last 2-3 years will have known this was Labour's policy, so their kids will be in year 9 by the time Labour gets in.  That would mean that only parents of those with children in years 10/11 likely to have been unaware when signing up.  They can obviously move their children for sixth form if needed.  The others shouldn't be surprised!  Those with children in juniors will need to take a view whether affordable or move to the state sector.
