Re: SocksBatch!
They're such pretty socks Biggles!
I'm going to ask the post office this week how long it takes for a package to get there... btw we're still wrapping our socks in either stripes or dots right? I have some awesome striped wrapping paper!

Re: SocksBatch!
Ha ha, I think we might all be a bit barmy (in the nicest way of course!!) 
Have also just done a quick google search and he is apparently uk size 11, if that helps in the great sock purchase. Seems there is nothing google doesn't know!!

Re: SocksBatch!
Okay, so maybe I should write in my letter "Dear Benedict, if you don't like the socks, please forward them to rebecca, she'd be extremely happy to receive those socks!"...?

Re: SocksBatch!
Brilliant socks Solar! Love those!
So we have a master list, an agreed date for arrival and Rebecca's logo to put on the gift tag?
I'm at work so I don't have time to go through the thread but do we have a generic message we are all sending? And are we all wrapping in stripey or spotty paper?
I'm so excited about this, I just want to send them!!

Re: SocksBatch!
I did suggest some sort of identical message with a bit of individual stuff in it as well, but I'm not sure we've agreed on this. I'll just post it again:
LOGO of the CumberSocksCollective
Dear Benedict,
individual message
individual message
individual message
individual message
Lots of love,
