    Awww I didn't enter Bailey and there's 1 space!!!!!!!!! There's only one toy he likes which our wonderful SS got for him last year and he still has it - but I felt bad being so restrictive like that I don't think it's fair to do it again lol!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,761 ✭✭✭Knine


    Poor Bailey. He will be very upset if Santa does not pay him a visit

    I'm glad bailey is still getting great use from his toy! Can never have too many stuffed footballs I suppose ... :D

    YES GO ON WE WANT TO KNOW WHO WE GOT!!!!

    Disclaimer: I've been doing this for three years now and value SS shopping higher than sourcing Christmas presents for my family or planning my daughter's first birthday in three weeks.

    This is my first time doing it and reading back over the threads I am terrified by the pressure. People get such great gifts. I was going to be like 'something to eat,something to play with, done'.

    Also the sad moment of realizing I can't really sign up with my elderly dog 'cos she will probably not live that long.

    Oh go on so, if there's a space left I'll enter my goldfish!
    Dogs are not being entered this year as they are both way too uncivilised to receive any presents from Santa this year😀.
    Let me know before I pm you sillymango.

    i am way too excited, but slightly scared in case i get the stick insect!

    No dogs entered from me as the breed might give me away.

    Reptile keeper here! Stick insect would be handy enough for me :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,002 ✭✭✭SillyMangoX


    I've still had no last entry, and still no stick insect either :P


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,023 ✭✭✭✭tk123


    ;)

    Can I suggest that we put the pets name on the outside of the package somewhere for people who've entered multiple pets? Just so we don't have to open the parcel to find out who it's for - ripping the boxes open is a treat for my two lol!

    I suspect my cat will enjoy that too. And then sitting in the box!

    Me and my mum were on hols one time and when we came back there was a fruit box on the table that my dad used to carry some stuff in Lidl - the cat had moved into it while we were away lol! :pac::pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,002 ✭✭✭SillyMangoX


    I think I put in the rules this year to have the pets name on it!

    And folks, we are closed! All entries have been received :)

    I'll start sorting things tonight and will hopefully have some pms coming your way tomorrow night!

    Please make sure there's room in your private messages :)

  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Holy crap that was fast! I'll be humming and hawing over things for another good while!


  • Registered Users Posts: 181 ✭✭Kajemo


    Shopping almost done, theres a couple of little bits I want to pick up in town but then that's secret santa done and dusted. :-) :):):):):)


  • Registered Users Posts: 731 ✭✭✭ene


    that is far too organised!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 447 ✭✭Latatian


    That moment when you realize you have accidentally upvoted every comment in the thread because everything is sensible or nice or you agree with it.


    I'm more than a little panicked now by my own lack of organization on this.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,023 ✭✭✭✭tk123


    Yooooooo! I have almost everything - just couple of things to get tomorrow! It's SO hard - I kept adding stuff as I was browsing then had to choose between them all at the end lol! :p

    Jaysus. This is tougher than expected. Apparently I don't have a clue what's safe for animals other than the ones I have. I've spent most of the evening researching! :D
