    Sorry, thought you were a CC to my PM conversation with Madahhlia but just checked and you aren't (and I can't find a way to add you). Seed parcel sent on Monday, sorry can't remember what the postage was.

      May I draw attention to the rules,set out to be fair to all .
      Particularily rule 2 :please:
      1. Maximum hold time before passing on parcel, unless previously arranged is 3 days (ties in with rule 3)
      2. Message person after you on the list before sending parcel and to the thread so we're all kept in the loop
      3. If no response to a message, move on the next person, after 3 days (Works with rule 1)
      4. Contact details held by me Pamsdish for everyone, as an emergency(name, email, address and a phone if you wish) but it's not compulsory
      5. If you miss your turn, then you miss your turn, you wait til it comes round again.
      6. New joiners go to the back of the queue , i.e behind the person who currently has it ( which will mean keeping the thread up to date on who has is, keep it public, if you have it you post)
      7. Just keep us all informed, maybe a role call either on the thread or by me PMing, maybe with 2 chances to reply then your name is in red and after round of the parcel your off the list till you get in touch then rule 6 comes into force.
      8. Please, no out of date seeds.
      9. Please make sure you will be able to send the parcel on in three days, this will involve getting to a post office. If you think this might not be possible please ensure that someone will be able to do it for you if for example your taken ill. The parcel must move on always as other people are waiting for it.
      I said I would be enforcing rules and pointing them out when necessary .:th scifD36:

      Madahilda received parcel yesterday as she is not at home till today. Says she will be posting on Monday .

      If anyone else away from home let us know and we can skip you on list and return to you as soon as at home,so you will not miss place and save parcel stalling

        In the post this morning, £3.50 second class, put it in a new jiffy bag as the old one was a bit tired.

            Just popping in to remind you all if any of you want Golden Virginia tobacco seeds you are very welcome - all you have to do is let me have your address and I will post them onto you, no problem. Can be grown as quite an attractive bloom. quite tall though. Cheers, Moyra.

            I am sorry to have to tell you all that Joolz mum has passed away, I offer the heartfelt sympathies of all of us ,:grphg:.

            Understandably joolz will be unavailable for a while, I have sent pm to the persons next to her on list to miss her out, As soon as joolz lets me know she is able I will insert her in next.
            Wherever or whoever should be next. I hope everyone is ok with that.

                      I have added seeds of solanum lacciniatum to the parcel.
                      [​IMG]Easy to grow half hardy perennial, one plant lasted through last year's winter. The fruits turn orange. Extremely easy to raise and a good space filler if something else lets you down half way throught the season. I have loads more of these seeds if needed.
