PLEASE don't forget to let me know that you've sent YOUR parcel and received your parcel from your secret santa. <br />
<br />
Thanks everyone for making UKYABB Secret Santa a success this year, have a brilliant Christmas and let's see how many of you leave your Secret Santa present until Christmas Day ;)Lynsey Newtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01565424842334968772noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4085586468253372000.post-38549810978187478772013-12-05T22:54:00.000+00:002013-12-05T22:54:07.872+00:00Emails sentAll information has gone out via email. If anyone hasn't received their email or has any problems, please let me know. Oh, and don't forget to email me when you have sent your package out AND when you receive yours so I can keep track of everything.<br />
<br />
I had wanted to get this information out a little sooner than I have but life gets in the way as always! We can still do this though if you get your skates on ;)<br />

I'm not entirely sure what the problem is but I would suggest trying a different browser and see if that works. If not, then please leave a comment on the SIGN UPS post and I will add you manually from there. <br />

If you're a UK based book blogger who reads and reviews Young Adult (YA) books and/or New Adult books (I'm adding that this year) then you are eligible to sign up. This is an
opportunity to exchange books and bookish gifts with another UKYA book
blogger that you may or may not have met before and it might just be the
only surprise under your tree this year! This is your chance to bring
some bookish sparkle into someone's life and possibly introduce them to
books they haven't read before, books you thought were out of this
world. So what do you say? Do you want to take part? I'm putting
together a list of frequently asked questions (<a href="http://www.ukyabbsecretsanta.blogspot.co.uk/p/faq.html">FAQ</a>) that you can access
and this should take care of anything you need to know but I've missed
anything, please feel free to email me. <br />
<br />
Whilst I'm hoping you will follow the blog, THIS is where you sign up to
take part in UKYABB Secret Santa - just leave your name and your blog
address (make sure you type in the "http" part). By signing up, you are
registering your interest and still have an opportunity to back out at
this stage, although I'm hoping you won't.
<br />
<br />
Let's make 2013 a special bookish Christmas and remember that the joy is in giving :)<br />

I know it might seem a little early, especially since we need to get Halloween out of the way first, but this takes a lot of planning and organisation so I figure the earlier we start, the better. I'm hoping we get as good a participation as last year with no hiccups and I know I can't wait to get started. I'll let you in on a little secret....I've already bought one present for my Secret Santa. It's a generic present so I don't need to know who I'm getting and I'm sure whoever the lucky recipient is, they will like it ;)<br />
<br />
Sign ups are coming. I'll keep you posted.

I haven't heard back from everyone yet and I'm trying to keep track of everything.<br />
<br />
Thank you and I hope you are enjoying the anticipation of getting your gifts and watching others get theirs. There's no rule that says you have to wait until Christmas Day (that's up to you) but as tempted as I have been to open then, I've put them under the tree like a good girl.

For those that didn't reply within the deadline, I'm sorry but you have been taken off the list. <br />
<br />
I have the information and now it's just a case of e mailing it out to all of you which I will do AS SOON AS I CAN (bearing in mind, I have to fit in work and a visit from the parents). If you have any questions about minimum cost, if you have to provide a tracking number (you do) then please consult the FAQ section of this blog otherwise e mail me and I will provide you with an answer. <br />
<br />
Let the present buying begin!!!! <br />

If there is anything that is NOT included on that list, then please feel free to email me otherwise I'd love it if you looked at the FAQ as it takes a lot of time to answer individually :(Lynsey Newtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01565424842334968772noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4085586468253372000.post-36605735299502490532012-11-18T22:29:00.004+00:002012-11-18T22:29:59.980+00:0024 HOURS LEFT TO RESPONDTo all the participants who have NOT yet responded to my email, I'm going to have to give you a deadline of the next 24 hours I'm afraid as time is running out and we need to get this show on the road! If I don't hear from you in the time period specified, I will assume you are no longer interested and take you off the list. If that is the case, I'd rather you just told me but either way, that's cool. <br />
