    OK girls and boys, I've had a fair few PM's now in relation to delays in shipping and weather issues, don't panic, there is no need to go buying replacement presents or anything mad like that! Just keeping me updated by PM every 3 or 4 days is fine!! There is nothing anyone can do about ice, snow, couriers, if the postman can make it or not or anything like that. I'll send out PM's on Sunday or Monday to anyone who hasn't thumbs upped the sending out post unless I've already heard from you but don't worry about it :cool:

    Is the postman/deliveries not getting to some people? We had post again this morning, I don't know how as I haven't been out anywhere now since Thursday, I'm having great craic bouncing off the walls :rolleyes:. I hope it warms up a bit in the next few days as I'm starting to run out of people food and pony food! :(

    Anyone expecting more than 1 delivery please do keep us updated as they arrive by posting on thread :)

    Was in the post office on friday and they said there had been no post out of Dublin or Portlaoise on Thursday. We had no post a couple of days last wk and my parents who live in a different county only had post on Saturday.
    I'd say the service is all over the place at the minute.

    I got a parcel! I got a PARCEL!!

    I haven't been so excited since I believed in santy.

    The post in Kildare has been severly impacted according to the news today and the queue in the post office today was ridiculous. So my packages will be slow arriving and leaving.

    Are we to leave the attached card unopened until the 22nd too?

    Yippee! I got a parcel today too!!! Came home from work (in the snow - AGAIN!) and there was a note from the sorting office to go and pick it up! So I asked (forced, actually!) the hubby to drive down for it! I have squeezed it, poked it, shaken it - you name it - but I am no wiser!
    And I couldn't let the dogs see it as one of them is still waiting:eek:
    This whole idea is really making Christmas for me this year - I'm loving all of it!! Thanks again and again and again AJ:)

    Judging by your address Paws you could have a long wait ahead:eek: But I suppose you could always get Santa to bring it back with him on his sleigh:D

    I'm still waiting for one pressie - really thought and hoped it would arrive today! Between myself and my daughter we have sent out four (that was as much fun as receiving!) and we have received one each. So we still have two doggies watching out for the postman every day while the other two are gloating about their tempting Christmas parcels under the tree:)

    Ah no I feel awful now, I've been completly snowed in until last night. My fastway package was a week late getting to me and even at that I had to chase him around kildare to get my package last night. So my parcels are ready to go now in the next 5 mins. BUT it's snowing again and I think I'll have trouble getting out of the housing estate.

    My husband is stuck in liverpool - my dog is stuck in the kennels - and my parcels are stuck on the table. I'm off out on a mission now to get at least 2 of them sorted (hubby can stay in L'pool) You know you're getting older when you don't love the snow right? :D

    Ha, ha! You can say that again - I must be really getting old as I detest that white stuff with a passion!!
    Poor you! You are really having it rough! But look on the positive side - it would be worse if the hubby was in kennels and the dog was in Liverpool:eek: Only joking - I'm sure you love the hubby too:D:D:D

    Even all those sent 'on time' won't have arrived yet. It seems to depend largely on where they are comming from and going to, packages sent on the 1st are still floating around with An Post, so please be patient! It could be the end of next week before something arrives ;) Mine went on the 1st and I see no evidence of it arriving yet.

    I got to the post office and I got my dog back. :D

    Parcels are on their way, but post around kildare is very very slow, they are on the way though.

    Thanks for letting us know scudzilla. ;)

    At a guess all packages should be with everyone by the end of next week. Any that are expected to take a little longer I will PM the recipient but I'm hopeful all will get there in time :)

    Don't forget to confirm the post when yours arrives or post on thread, it helps calm the nerves of the sender as well as myself!

    I have to say what I've heard from so many of you, in regard to being worried about letting people down leads me to believe that the whole thing was definately worth it and think (hope) it's safe enough to say at this point that I can predict it will be a complete success and that the christmas spirit is still very much alive:D
