*clears throat and takes a sip of Schlor*

Ladies and Funkyone, is is time for the grand opening of our eagerly anticipated OT Secret Santa Opening!! *round of applause from all*

I am happy to report we only appear to have 7 people who have yet to receive, this is amazing considering we have a whopping 61 participants!! So each and every one of you, give yourself a huge festive pat on the back!!

For those that have not received, please do not fear, this has been a busy week for royal mail and I have spoken to the lovley people at the sorting office when collecting parcels myself and they are working flat out, first class is taking 5plus working days to be delivered in some areas due to the popularity of online shopping! Please add in your photos when you receive!! all your SS will be contacted to ensure they have been posted..

ANYWAY........lets get on with the unwrapping!!! It would be nice to flash a before pic of your gift all wrapped and an after of the present unwrapped! Plus anything else you would like to say to your SS!! There will be a reveal thread for those that would like to know who posted theirs..if people want this that is?!

I will kick off..now i did not offer to organise this secret santa to receive any kind of gift, I offered as I thought id have less to do at work due to having a replacement by now and taking things easy (ha! those that know will understand this has not been the case!!!) so imagine my surprise when a large box was delivered earlier on in the week!! Once opened, i noted a card and saw 4 lovely gifts awaiting me!! a surprise for an 8mth pregnant women=tears and over emotion-ness so a great big thank you to ATB for making THE most amazing card ever and for anyone who was involved in this little surprise!!!

here is the before:


and after opening..well..someone knows me VERY well as i have a selection of amazing Benefit make up products and a much needed large make up bag, I cannot tell you how much I love this, especially with baby flow here soon and knowing all my pennies will be going on them and not lovely treats like this Smiley smile so thank you thank you thank you naughty hitchers!!! ❤️


So, over to you follks! I know some of us arnt around this evening (I have a pic of peanut L&Ls gift) and also Claire lous out and mrs imps on honeymoon..so pictures will be flashed tomorrow too!!

    This is my only SS of the year . There are only 4 people in my office so wouldn't be very secret, so it makes this one all the more special.

    Thank you Flow for organising it.

    Yes, well the Hitched OT SS is certainly more successful than that done at OH's work. He got a lava lamp with a note saying "because you often look stressed". LOL!!!!

    Oh, my pictures are rather small. Inside the card reads:

    I'm sending you this Christmas gift, Because that's the way I roll, I hope my stalking skills pay off, And this gift hits the goal.

    Love it! We have a secret poet amongst ourselves...

    Sorry for being late ladies, I've been round the FPILs. They very kindly cooked me steak.

    So this was my present before opening...

    And this is what was concealed within...

    Which is ruddy awesome as I just had to throw loads away.

    Thank you SS, you are awesome ?

    I'm here. Will post pics tomorrow when i'm on my laptop, but a massive thanks to my SS.

    I got lots of little presents, all Hello Kitty goodies. I love them all, and the perfume smells fab. My eldest stole the HK chocolate lolly though, so my SS presents were a hit with him too.

    Hitchers, as always, ROCK!

    Thanks for organising Flow, you did a cracking job.

    That's me just home and the first thing I did was open my THREE lovely presents. Tried photobucket but it won't work Smiley sad. They were lovely and wrapped in gold. The tags were 'something purple' 'something cosy' and 'something dark'.

    Inside was two pairs of snuggly black and white socks (one pair on feet as I write), five little bars of dark chocolate (tucking into that too!) and a gorgeous purple clutch bag/purse. It's beautiful and I love it.

    So glad I took part with all you lovely ladies. I really do love OT! Everyone's had some lovely presents!
