COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

It's an ADORABLE meerkat in a teapot!!!!!

Unfortunately, it appears the Royal Mail was less than kind with the package, though. The LOVELY teapot, cup and saucer are all broken.
I questioned the meerkat closely, and he insists it wasn't him that did it. He says he took refuge in the teapot because he feared for his life. He seems a bit shaken, so I'm inclined to believe him...

I may be able to repair it, though it seems there are quite a few shards and slivers, unfortunately...

Oh no. That is terrible. I am not part of the sender's or receivers but I am loving seeing what each of you get. Whose next to open....[emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji6] [emoji6] [emoji1]

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I"m here!!! I'm here!!!!
I'll go next!!!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FIVE ! ! ! !

I'm afraid that repairs seem unlikely. The teapot spout and the cup handle are in tiny bits.

SO Glad the poor meerkat is unharmed- he seems very sweet!!!!!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Oh, dear- my package is making clinking noises...this does not bode well...

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Moozillion]

I made him a cup of tea- we're sharing it, and he seems to be calming down.

 

[Maro2Bear]

I'm in the same boat as Carol.... Have Fun all. We are embarking on a new adventure.... Just loaded our vehicle onto the AutoTrain in Sanford Florida, destination Lorton, Virginia. It's a longer ride back, but given Christmas Holiday traffic coupled with unpredictable nasty weather - we thought it might be a fun way to get home.

Ok, back to the packages!

Oh, my goodness! ! ! ! !
I am so sorry, Mooz, what a disaster! ! ! !
I do believe the meerkat!
Grrrrrr

 

[Moozillion]

I just realized the meerkat is wearing a black hooded mask like a bandit!!!!!!!
That is HIILARIOUS!!!!!!! BRILLIANT touch, John!!!!!!!

He decided to take his mask off to drink his tea...

Don't worry. I feel like I am getting a gift everytime one of you opens yours. Besides I LOVE watching other people get gifts and their reactions.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

i'm off to clean the bathroom.
See you all in a bit!

Oh no, I think the meerkat done it! Don’t be tricked by his innocent looks.
What a cute and thoughtful gift!
(Boo to Royal Mail!)
