Candy swap updates?

Jul 12, 2016 11:46

How's it all going? I think people are starting to receive their parcels now?

( If you could check in under the cut, so I know who's had what by now, thank you! )

I've received mine! :) I haven't sent mine yet as I got a little behind with conferences & baby being sick etc. Will go out soon! And hopefully will not melt.

Aww, poor Grace - how's she doing? And you, sick baby can't be fun for you!

rachel2205 July 13 2016, 09:46:40 UTC

She's fine now, thankfully!! The worst part was when she was still sick and I had got sick too. Damn stomach bugs, so infectious!

I sent mine out last week but it should take around a month to reach its destination. Brazilian post office kind of sucks.

I'm sending this week I swear. I was at a convention the last 5 days and I forgot to bring the bag with me to stop at the post on the way :P

Still in limbo from the stupid potential postal strike. The union is in strike position but the company rejected the proposal of a 30 day cease-fire for MORE negotiations, although they DID drop the threat of a lockout. But who knows how long that'll last? They're really just hurting themselves since people aren't using the mail for fear shit's gonna get jammed up. :\

They're really jerking you guys around, huh? I think I'd die with no post I do so much online shopping!

I feel like if I trusted nothing was to happen as soon as I sent the package without them making a deal they'd go on strike. At work we've resumed mailing invoices and such but everyone's hesitant.

I received my package yesterday! :D And now I finally know what I can use instead of graham crackers in any baking recipes. *g*

I've always wondered that myself. What are they closest to? Digestive biscuits? Crackers?

seraphina_snape August 28 2016, 12:28:11 UTC

Definitely not like crackers as I know them (which would be savory/salty rather than sweet). They taste almost exactly like Leibniz butter biscuits (which I think I saw in shops years ago when I was in Northern Ireland, so you can probably get them elsewhere in the UK).

denorios August 28 2016, 12:31:53 UTC

Oh yeah, I know those. Closer to rich tea biscuits than digestives, then.
