[SmartieMeUp]

Can we throw in everybody's first name in here? As there isn't usernames on there

I'm Becca aka Rebecca

 

[monkee12]

If others still want to join they still can, you can also update usernames on your profile or add name here, sorry Smartie! I didn’t even think of that, it’s been one of those days x

 

[monkee12]

Ok,

Please can everyone add your user name either on here or as the nickname on your profile so we know who is who. Apologies my mistake for not saying earlier.

Presents need to be sent in enough time for them to be received in time for Christmas. Please update once you have sent your gift, any issues please let me know ASAP.

Late joiners can still join in despite names being drawn.

Pmed you

Is there going to be a redraw?

 

[monkee12]

I’m just looking now, I’ve never done this before so I’m in a bit of a tizzy. It does say that others can join after the draw though so I’m assuming it wouldn’t change what you’ve already been given. X

It'd make the secret not so secret for the late joiners Probably should have waited a few more days to give people a chance to join in. The last one ran from middle of November though to postage deadline of 16th December Second class and 18th December First class to ensure it arrived in time x

Edit - I drew names after a week of opening x

 

[monkee12]

I think you was better at it then me lol! X

 

[SmartieMeUp]

It was trial and error, I wasn't sure how the algorithm worked if I was a participant too x

 

[monkee12]

Same here, if 7 people join then it’s going to be more difficult xx
