Strong shout, thats a good effort, you should get a lot of letters of thanks for that, (best they do!) i always made a point of replying to people that sent parcels not just for myself but on behalf of the lads(still in touch with them now, mostly RMR).. As a result i got extra parcels
Its a massive boost in moral.
(Naked phots would be a bonus as well, especialy if you are your nurses rig
) : Seriously, good effort and thanks for taking the time to do that.

Hun its not wise to publish Addresses on Any Forum best to PM them ...Although they say 7dec is the Date to Guarentee your parcels Arrive for Christmas the lady at Post Office said they should still Arrive .Ive made sure all the christmas stuff has gone first & shower gels etc follow on.Will my Lounge ever look neat & tidy again .Just off to town again for more shoe boxes....A tip for anyone doing Parcels try getting the light weight shoe boxes I get mine from shoe zone as the Trainer boxes are heavy before you even start.. I also invested in I'M A SCAMMER SPAMMER!!! scales they cost £4 in Tesco & go upto 5kg if you set them just past the Zero & weigh your parcels upto 2kg they should be the correct weight at post office

I sent out to Afghanistan a box full of jellybeans, yes that was the request from a friend serving there. The jellybeans all up cost $20 dollars, and posting was $60
And I got massive amounts of emails back saying thanks.
It was costly but gave some fun to the Guys.
I got labeled the Aussie Jelly Bean Chick

Kiwi, that`s a fact of life down here darl. Postage costs more than the cost of the goods.
However, in UK it`s free to send parcels to serving Members provided they weigh less than a certain amount and one or two other constraints. Weight limit is easilly enough to cover decent toilet paper, wet wipes pot noodles etc. Basic comfort items. Plus a bit of porn and a few ripped CDs
Singlenursey, well done you, what a star
I`m sure you won`t be single for long
Ref sending red cross parcels to RMs, I have BFPO details for all Units. Details in the usual place

Between all of us at SOS we have managed to send 15,135 parcels this year to our troops away from home this Christmas it was Hard at times especially when I got the Bulk of my stuff on 5 dec & had to meet the 7 dec deadline but well worth the time Knowing how much the Parcels mean to our Troops
