It is a shame that so many haven't participated as well as in 2015. I know I enjoyed the experience, but also knew my limits for last year, having been overseas & the rising cost of postage here in Oz, so didn't take part. I was certainly not going to disappoint anyone, but am always happy to swap a gift or two with my good friends, anytime of year, for birthdays or just because. Hope your Dad is on the mend & that you've been looking after yourself.
