I received a **huge** box today. As long as my arm, taller than my knee. I was hoping that it was full of tea, but it’s actually full of mugs. With baby pictures on 'em. That will soon be filled with tea. ---

[QUOTE=Baker] Am I the only one who didn’t get any? [/QUOTE] I still haven’t got mine. According to **Amazon Floozy Goddess** I should have received it by now. I have a bad feeling that it was delivered last friday, before the tornado arrived. ☹ My mailman tends to just leave packages on the front porch. I’ve been watching for it, but that day I was busy watching the weather reports. Nice of you to pop in **Winston Smith** 🙂 ---

Flipstrip, I’ll take up the slack and send you some. You’ll need to have a word with **Batsinma Belfry** so she can send me your address. ---

Maybe there’s some customs officers testing out everybody’s tea to make sure it’s not explosive or something. :dubious: ---

I’d be open to swapping with **Baker**. Or if others want to send some to **Baker** and I (thank you very much for the offer **casdave** ), that’s cool too. ---

Right, i’ve got some pretty special stuff together, its from a tea merchant in the region and they do a huge range of stuff but you won’t find it in many places. It’ll take me a week or so to get it away as I have to get to the Post Office. I have your address **Flipstrip**. **Batsinma Belfry** please send me yours and this will be by way of thanks for the effort you’ve put yourself to, and you cannot refuse now either, as I already have it and just need to pack it up. ---
