    One more rule for the list to consider or think about is the following scenario.

    With the following people at the top of the list, who get the exchange started, they have to wait a good while for the package to come back to them...with the diversity of seeds the rest of the people on the list have added.

    chengjing
    lollipop
    sweetpeas

    I noticed that at or around the time when most gardeners where starting to sow their seeds, the list was getting longer and the people above where (or still are) waiting for their turn.

    I wonder if a better way of adding new people to the list could be utilised in the future? For example if lollipop has the package and "Joe Bloggs" wants to join, then the new list might look like this..

    chengjing
    Joe Bloggs
    lollipop
    sweetpeas

    Just a thought for you to think over.

    Steve...:)

    So when someone joins they take their place infront of the person who has the parcel at that time,?

    I think what Steve R is saying and putting better than i was trying to do,
    is they should go to the back of the queue , so yes behind the person who currently has it

    Update on the parcel...

    I received the parcel from Chengjing today and I've now posted it onto Lollipop today as well.

    Such a great idea to do this! There was stuff in there that I hadn't seen in ages or had intended to buy and never got around to it etc etc. I've put some easy to grow exotics and unusual flower seeds into the mix.

    cheers!
