The annual mystery Christmas card
« on: December 21, 2010, 01:17:44 PM »
We all get them: "Best wishes from Uncle Ted, Aunt Minnie and all the kids"

WHo the fook are they????

I used to send one myself to some random stranger, often with a message like "We so look forward to lunch on Boxing Day. all 9 of us will aim to be there at about 1.00"

So, it seems that Helena Girdler has got my new address and wishes me all the best for 2011. WHo is she??  rubschin: rubschin: rubschin:

Well who else have you given your new address to..... I assume the envelope/card did have your name on it and not just the flat address.

As I recall you had a mystery card last year too .... who was that from?

(Yes I know the thread title suggests this is an annual event)

I won't insult you by sending you this one  ;)
I used to get quite a few; pocket style, desk diaries, and of course the ubiquitous elephant size year planner but it's dwindled in recent years.  I don't know whether it's cost cutting or just me dealing with fewer companies  rubschin:

I made my own  angel1

Do you remember that photo of the 3 players from the Portuguese football team , all suited and booted like  cloud9:. Well I added a google yearly planner to it ....slotted it all onto an A4 sheet of paper. Printed in batch orders, laminated and now on all the girlies desks in the office .

A few blokes have protested that it is sexist blah, blah blah, but I have said it conforms with the roolz as football calendars are allowed  whistle:
