Aww! Someone sent me a present! Marked "confectionery"! (Mom: "Is it those Tim-Tam things?") But it totally wasn't! It was better! Who sent it?

Excellent timing, by the way. I don't know how long it sat in my PO box, but my mother went on a mail run and brought it to me while I was curled in bed throwing the world's biggest pity party for one. It made me feel better in the way that only 1) surprises and 2) mail can. Thank you so much!

I'll tell once someone claims responsibility. Because that's how I'll know if they're telling the truth--they'll know what it was. : )

It seems to have come from Britain, so... they're doing a really good job of long-distance stalking.

Nah, I just love her like a fan, like most of you.
And worry if it's ok for me to make replies to comments or if it would be spammy and presumptious of me.

I'd better say otherwise they'll all die of curiosity :)
Well you said you wanted the Phantom of Opera soundtrack, and thought you might like a copy, just hoped you didn't buy it before it arrived :)
Probably wasn't there long, as it takes about a week or so for UK to US mail, depending on size or how busy it is I guess. It didn't know there were two versions, as that one was the only one I saw.
You can consider it a late / early birthday present, (as you probably don't want to consider it for Valentine's).
Glad you liked it and it cheered you up :)

Ooh, I would love a surpsise like that. My fabulous friend Randy likes to cook as much as I do, and his confectionary items are the best. *melts*

Well I sent chocolate to others before, so kept on putting 'confectionery' on the label. I still put that down on items that might be stopped I guess (if it might be considered importing or whatever).
And it's good as a surprise if the recipient does not know what is inside the package. :)

OMG, it was from the UK?!!?? Was it Penguins? We wishes to know if it was the prrrrrrrrecious Penguins!!!

Sorry, no penguins. I must have missed it if she had mentioned that she liked them.
Maybe if you mentioned it on your journal, and had a PO box / safe address someone would send you some :)

This post reminds me... DAMMIT I AM SUCH A MAIL SLACKER.

I've been trying to get some cards out to various people on my FL since Christmas. First they were going to be Christmas cards... then I was thinking V-Day cards. Now I might have to go with a St. Patrick's Day theme, at the rate I'm going.

What could possibly be better than tim tams? *is bewildered* I'm just going to have to go across the road and buy some of the tim tams with the fudgey centres and sit here eating them in front of your LJ (which is the closest I can get to eating them in front of you).

I mean: :D

Ooo, Tim Tams by virtual osmosis!

The package was the 2-disc POTO soundtrack, which was better than Tim Tams only in that it was still there five minutes after I had enjoyed it. : )

You like Tim-Tams? Want me to hit you up with some? Australian stuff kicks ass, and everyone seems to like them.

Them and Minties.

Uh. Thats all I got. Enjoy the mail stalking while you can!

Hey,

"Is it those Tim-Tam things?") But it totally wasn't! It was better!

Bah! Impossible. There is *nothing* better than a Tim-Tam (except perhaps the young male cast of LOST naked at the Tim-Tam factory)...

Wirrrn!

We don't have Tim-Tams here in the UK, the closest we have are Penguins. I think Tim-Tams are only available from Australia?
And it was better too! Lauren said so (hope don't me calling you Lauren). Let me have my moment of glory Mr. Wirrrn! :)

Yeah, I live in England now. We can't get tim tams anymore. *sad* We can get Vegemite but it's hell expensive.

I don't know if you know about this, but there is a website www.everythingaustralian.com where you can get Tim Tams, and everything else Australian, and they are located here in the States, in Arkansas, so the shipping wouldn't be quite as much as coming from Ausralia.
