Ellie, at this stage, i think it will be sent to Belfrage's unless anyone has any other useful suggestions. Thanks everyone for your messages and posts. Am hoping to finalise the list and get the (yet unpurchased because i have absolutely no idea what to buy!!!!) card on it's way to quoll on Tuesday. Don't forget that you have until Monday night to post or PM me to get yourself on the list!!!! Later: OK, have been to the card shop & am now convinced that i am NOT the person who should be in charge of this particular decision (after all i live in a country that has a commercial with a BEAVER advertising sanitary pads - and it's my favourite ad ever!!!). All the cards i liked were either rude or had glitter on them. My favourite was one that said "Happy Birthday Sexy Pants" on the front along with glittery pictures of various sorts of men's undies - which was perfect because it combined both rudeness & glitter in the one card. Sigh, why do i get myself into these things?  ?? |

I think you will have to get a very large card or scrapbook for us all to sign it!! I was just wondering are we allowed to glue in a small passport size photo (if we want to) so he can put a face to a name?
Cheers x

OK people - have been looking around the card shops again because my self imposed deadline is drawing near, and have read what feels like thousands of cards!!!! Am now ready to claw my own eyes out!!! They are either too naf, or too small or too rude or too girly, aaaaaggggghhhhhh. I found myself thinking that what i really wanted was a more Rufus specific card - like a cap-it. I was thinking of something like this:  Bloody hell mate, if i'd KNOWN Nancy was going to start logging on to that crazy message board, i never would have bought her the computer. No wonder she went insane - i knew it couldn't have had anything to do with my awful sweaters ....... or the golf..........You know the kind of thing i mean!!!! So here is the challenge - can anyone come up with a really good cap-it or do you have a favourite from the game which you could suggest. I will then (and this is the hard bit) get it made into a card somehow and then i'll send it off. It may take a couple of days but in the end i think it will be so much better than any card we could buy!!!! Get to it people & give me some suggestions!!!!! |

Hello everyone!!!
I just arrived yesterday evening from my vacation and I'm trying not to miss all the things you posted, girls. I am afraid I arrive too late to this thread but I hope you finally sorted out the postcard to send... it's interesting to imagine the envelope travelling from one part of the world to another!!!!!

Hey Ladies!!!! Sorry for the delay in getting the card going, but i'm still trying to make it!!! Unfortunately, my ambition far outweighs my ability in this field i've discovered!!!!!  Hope to get it in the mail Tue or Wed and will post the list of its travel route then. ;D |

I almost asked why there would be worries....(like it's too late or something...) then I realized your are in Australia. Had to get used to the whole "no worries mate" thing when I worked with the RAAF in San Diego. I love Aussies.  |

That's funny DGD!!!! Do other people not say "no worries" - i didn't realise we actually spoke "Aussie" ;D I guess we don't really worry a lot - we just go to the beach instead!!! (or should that be pub!!!)  |
