Much as I hate the word 'funusual'...

This is a very good gift idea. The best thing I've ever seen for 'those who have everything' - and you help people too. :)

I'm here btw, just very busy and when I *do* have time I try to write! Also I'm loving buffyversetop5, it's like a wonderful treasuretrove.

The 'funusual' gifts.

We gave goats, chickens, computer lessons and so on to some of the family and friends last year - this year my sister's family are getting a latrine in Africa!

Heee! Great isn't it?

That's a lovely idea. And thanks for the support!

[elisi]

No problem! :)

Oh, that's a wonderful idea! Thanks for the link. (Though I do agree on the horrors of "funusual.")

[elisi]

I've been meanning to post the link for ages, but just kept forgetting. And it's funny, because I don't mind 'net-speak' at all, but things like 'funusual' just make me want to hit someone very hard. *g*

That is a very neat idea! I think I'd go for the camel.

[elisi]

I *so* wish I could afford a camel! It's just such a cool thought. :)

Thank you :)
I agree that this gift is a brilliant idea. I believe even lastminute.com are selling charity gifts like this. I just hope it's not a passing fashion and they continue for many years to come.

[elisi]

Me too! And just by the way - did you get my e-mail? Not that I'm going to post it before Christmas (after New Year is probably more realistic), but I just wanted to be sure.

[lillianmorgan.livejournal.com]

Yes I did. I've got written comments; I just have to get them on the computer. I was hoping to do that tonight but spent most of the night formatting a Word doc for my mum ::sigh::

[elisi]

Aw, poor you. I hope it worked in the end. And as I said don't worry about the fic - all I'm planning on posting in the next week is a Christmas story. (I also read through what I sent to you the other day and had several *facepalm* moments. Sigh.)

PS. That's a gorgeous icon!

Facepalms? ::meeps:: Well, I just sent it in any case ::hugs::
PS. That's a gorgeous icon!
It is, isn't it? It's one of the one lmbossy made which she just posted at her LJ. I *adore* them :)

[elisi]

Well, I just sent it in any case
I think it was mostly things like spelling etc - incredible what the spell checker won't catch!

And lmbossy is fabulous. Her London photos made me very homesick!
