Who's a Bad Swap Organiser

Yes it's me! We had lots of people sign up for the swap and originally we were 2 short (or so I thought) so I let two late comers in. Unfortunately maths isn't my strong suit and on Saturday night I realised we had 1 person too many. I felt sick to my stomach when I realised and couldn't concentrate on The Bill at all.

I finally summoned the courage to let the last person who signed up know. It was the lovely Anthea from Spinning Pretty, who will be the first person in next time, if she ever trusts me again. She was very lovely about it and after finally cajoling an address out of her this package is currently in the hands of Aussie Post and hopefully should be there mid-week.

Once again I'm very sorry and needless to say I will not be helping the girls with their maths homework EVER!

Hi Cass, This is a favour, well advice really! Best fabric shops to hit in Sydney, ones not to miss: Material Obsession, The Remnant Warehouse? Is Craft Depot worth going to? Anything else!? I know I've asked you and Ingrid this before in EB, but I've forgotten. We are so excited, have to squeeze in a 2 day work conference as well, bugger! Thanks alot. Leah. p.s. I don't think you are a bad swap organiser! You are more than making up for it with that package!

Your not a bad swap organiser at all Cass, its a big job! I sent my parcel of goodies off to you yesterday express post so you should receive today or tomorrow. Can you just check the extra 3kg satchel I enclosed I actually addressed to myself and not to you, lol :)

Cass, thank you so much for the package (even though it really is unnecessary!!!) I can't wait to receive it! And of course, you can count me in next time : )

I sympathise as maths is not my strong point either.

I think you're incredibly brave organising any swap, let alone a co-ordinated 10 piece swap! Am quietly panicking now that I can see other people have sent their packages off to you already... eeek! It's going to be a big weekend!

oh don't be too hard on yourself! all that pressure to get it right on the night!

i know what you mean about when you just think of something bad and then you can't stop thinking about it!!!!!

don't worry, they teach maths all differently these days so it doesn't matter anyway!
