why don´t we plan a vintage housekeeping swap?

A final heads-up - signups ends tomorrow, after that, I´ll give everybody a swap partner. I´m sure this will be a fun swap!

Should be fun!

Malin - just making sure you've got my name down to be in the swap.

Just to let you know, I won't be able to do this one. We're a bit strapped for cash right now. I hope there's another one! And I hope you all have fun with this one! I can't wait to hear what everyone got!

I´ve got your name, Karla! Sorry you won´t join us, Marietta, but I´m sure there will be another time!

Are we setting a cost limit or is that at sender's discretion?

Yes, I'd like to know the same question as Ali.

Same here, and did you put me down already?! And if you could be so kind as to give both $ and £ equivalents, that would be extremely helpful for those of us (ie:me!) who are slightly mathematically challenged.....!

Some more likes and fancies from those participating would be good too?

Ok, looks like it´s the fantastic four that will be doing this!

Me (Malin, that is)
Karla
Ali
Sasha

I´m doing it really simple, so - the name beneath you, is the one you will send your package to (I will send to Karla, Karla to Ali, Ali to Sasha and Sasha to me). I think I mentioned $30 in the beginning (£15), does it work for everybody?
Sasha - I started a thread for our likes, there you can find what we wrote, and you can write your own post as well.

What do you think, is a week enough time for our packages to reach their recepients? I think it would be nice to recieve in time for Valentine´s, so if we send Feb 7th, at the latest.

I hope this will be a good one (I´m sure it will, with such fabulous participants!), and Karla - I´m going shopping now!

Ok. One thing though, everyone needs to pm or email their mailing address to the person sending the gift!

For those doing international monetary conversions... check out
this site... www.xe.com/ucc

That can change any amount of money into another for you so you know what you're spending on someone in another country.

That´s where I did my money conversion! Very handy!

Ali - absolutely, addresses are a good thing! And of course, if we wonder anything about our partners, I´m sure they won´t mind a pm.

Am I being thick - what's a pm?????

How will we get address details to each other then - help please, I'm a clutz!

Am nervous and excited about doing this all at the same time!

PM = private message. At the bottom of everyone's posts are several small boxes. One says mp which is the one you want. Find a post by the person you want to send a private message to, click their "mp" box and the board will redirect you to the area where you can create and send your message.

If you go to the front page of this message board, you should have a notice on the upper right hand side, indicating you have a private message. From me!

Just a thought, I know Malin said send by the end of next week. Which, by the way is Chinese New Year!. But don't feel pressured to meet the February 7 mailing date. If it takes a bit longer to find what you want to send your housekeeper, so be it!

In other words, no pressure!
