Those socks are lovely, Mili!
Ire, I can't see your photo, but it's probably due to some restriction here at work.
Mer, I went to the Post Office today and made a formal complaint. They told me they will try to track the parcel, and I should receive a reply in 15 days or so. I'm SO frustrated!!!! Considering how ridiculously expensive it is to send a parcel abroad, and it was a registered letter, it shouldn't get lost.
I'm just so tired of the stupid Mail. First, they open and steal the contents of the parcel Moray sent me, then they lose every single postcard addressed to Buenos Aires, and now they lose Mer's package. Blah. I think I've had enough. :o( |

Nothing yet. : (
And I am noticing that Kayte is avoiding my wrapping paper question. My suspicion grows.

Yes, Anne. The guilt is getting to be too much for me. While you were letting the dog out, I snuck into your stash of wrapping paper (I just wanted to look) and was too overcome by irresistible temptation. I cut off a large section and put it in my suitcase while no one was looking. I did it and I'm sorry. I would give it back to you, but it is all the way across the ocean now. I hope you can forgive me. |

That's pretty much what I thought. All I want is honesty so I forgive you. |

Juli- I got a paper in the mailbox today saying there was registered mail waiting at the post office for me. Soooo, you package could be there! I will go to the post office tomorrow and let you know. I'm guessing yours hasn't arrived yet? :( |

Oooh! I hope that registered mail waiting comes from Argentina! *Fingers crossed*
Your package arrived today! :oD I think it was today, I cannot be sure.
They didn't deliver the package normally, you see. They left it on the window and didn't even bother ringing the doorbell and letting anyone know there was a package there. We don't have a chimney, so I guess Santa had to improvise? :oP
Seriously though, Argentinian mail = rubbish. We're having a rainy day, so the package could have got wet!
Annnywayyyy! Thank you so much Mer!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything's lovely!!! :oD
And it was great to have a little bit of Christmas in January, haha.
I loved the wrapping paper:
Mer got me: an ABC t-shirt (!), a gorgeous notebook, a cute glass winged piggy, yummy peppermint chocolate (yes, I've tried it already, haha), and a lovely postcard from Utah (Delicate Arch). Thank youuuu! :oD
Close up:
Fellow piggy with pink wings:
Once again, thank you, Mer!!! *Hugs*
And I honestly hope your package arrives!!! :o/ |

The sparkling water seller (!? we call him "sodero" but I can't find any translation to English, so I guess you guys don't have soderos? :oP) just came. And he told my mum that the package had been sitting on the window since Friday!
I'm so pissed off!!!! Someone could have stolen the package, it could have been ruined by the rain... I can't believe some people!!!

Yes. He also sells bottled water. I haven't been able to find good images of soderos in Google, though. I should take a photo of our sodero next time I see him.
