Hey no peeking!  Now she might be looking at that naughty list. Tsk! Tsk!

She only peeked at the outside label, and it says "small fossils" and "toy" - I don't think that would put her onto the "naughty list"!

I'm surprised so many packages have been received and everybody's had the willpower not to open them yet and post pictures.

The posting we can request holding off on. However, I know some members have opened theirs already. Oh the shame!!!

Santa's elves are watching and writing up that naughty list still. Just beware!

You don't want a visit from Krampus.

wifey hid my parcel under the bed, but then caught Tidgy having a peek on my behalf. 

So she locked it in a cupboard, but we got the key and had another peek. 

Now I'm locked in the cupboard and Tidgy has swallowed the key. 

Hmmmm. 

Stuck here til Christmas it seems.

A few years down the line "Wifey" gets a fleeting thought..."I wonder what ever happened to 'ol what's his name?"

She'll have to let me out eventually. :D

Not necessarily. Didn't you say Tidgy swallowed the key? You think wifey is going to want to keep checking for the key?

She'll likely move anyway due to that undesirable smell coming from the closet.

I believe they have a Febreeze product to cover that up.

I don't believe "Closet Stank" Febreeze is available in Morocco yet.  It's fairly new on the market.

:megdance:. Only for that reason I chose European members this year.

 

I already received packages from US in 2 weeks but others take much more time and some stayed retained by the services.. they required me very documents and I had to pay a institute of conservation and nature to go check  the package to pass me a declaration saying the content it's not ilegal or protected species :shrug:.

 

When is a purchase it's much easier because I present the payment receipt, they charge me some taxes and free me the package...

She'll buy oriental slippers and let you lock in.

Maybe the smell would rather come from the shoes Adam is locked with.

wifey's trainers were on the floor under the window once, cos they were rather smelly. 

A fly flew over them. 

And dropped out of the sky, buzzed weakly on its back for a while and then died.

True story.

For several years I trade hundreds geological specimens (mainly zeolites, phosphats, arsenates and vanadates) with USA, Canada, Mexico, Australia…without any problem. Now it is difficult. That is way I only trade Neogene shells with E.U fellows. It’s a shame because I would like Pliocene specimens for study from out of E.U.

Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt
behind the trailer, my desert
Them red clay piles are heaven on earth
I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt
