Quiet here
It's been quiet here in Blogland... but I've been reading everyone's blogs and it looks like there has been a lot of packages received. Great to hear and I love seeing all the lovely gushing photos!
BIG REMINDER: PACKAGES MUST BE SENT BY MONDAY, MARCH 17TH. If there will be ANY problem with this, please email your swap hostess (who sent you your match) and let us know.

Monica has no internet
Hey everyone. Just a quick update from work here (I got an internship for the week)... I have no internet at home. I will try to answer emails on my lunch break with my BF at home looking at the swap list... but for the moment, things will suck in this department.
I think I've responded to all the "missing match" emails... I'm beginning to hate Hotmail - it never seems to send my email, but as Charlie pointed out, certainly sends all the Penis-Enlargement and Viagra emails!

Everyone Got Matches?
If you have not got your match by now, email Vikki (handmade_with_care@hotmail.com) or I (ukswap@hotmail.co.uk) and we will make sure it gets resent.
Someone didn't get their match and wasn't sure if they were even in the swap. I mentioned earlier the "confirmation" was your name being added to the blog. But I will repeat for good measure: If your name is on the sidebar, you are part of the swap. So if anyone else is on the sidebar and hasn't received their match, email us.
There was also a question on Ravelry about the Topics of the Week contest. It's a bunch of questions so you get multiple entries to a final draw for First Second and Third prizes. Over the next couple weeks I will be "featuring" the different sponsors and the prizes.
While we're on the topic of contests, there will also be one MAIN contest, which will have the biggest prize of all! So stay tuned for more information about that contest!!

No Questionnaire = No Swap
Hi All.
Sorry to have to be this harsh, but I've sent an email to those who haven't posted their questionnaire. Check your junk mail for an email from ukswap@hotmail.co.uk as that's me - Monica. Now this is the harsh part: If you haven't posted your questionnaire by Thursday when I check, you will be dropped from the swap. I don't want to have to do this to anyone so PLEASE respond to the email I sent. Thank you for understanding the need for response and contact with a secret swap.
P.S. Matches will be going out on Thursday Night / Friday. If you haven't received your match by Monday February 4th, please email me at ukswap@hotmail.co.uk. Deadline for contacting your match (remember it's a secret!) is Friday February 8th.

Welcome All!
Hope everyone is having a good week! I'd like to officially welcome everyone who has joined! This is going to be really fun - I'm really looking forward to hosting this swap with Vikki. I've taken part in a few swaps but I've never hosted before, so please help me by letting me know if there are any problems or concerns.
I'd really like to encourage everyone to join in on the contests - the more the merrier, it is however not mandatory. The Weekly Questions are just fun topics to get everyone chatting.
Please post your Questionnaire by Monday January 28th - I know that many of you already have and I thank you very much. I will be checking! You're all added to my Reader and I'm enjoying getting to know you all just a bit better.

Sign-ups going STRONG!
Hello to everyone who has joined so far, and WELCOME! Big hugs all around. It's great to meet you and I hope to get to know you all better over the next couple months. Don't be afraid to comment on the blog here, even if it's just a quick hello! Plus, all the blog links are there for you to check out your fellow swappers and strike up some conversations and friendships.
Remember, the "confirmation" that you have joined will be your name added to the sidebar. I have been trying to update them every couple of days, so if you sent your application last week and it isn't up yet -- please send it again.
Just a note about the questionnaire -- if you've already posted it, we don't want it to get lost among blog posts before matches go out and your partner can read it. So if you would be so kind as to put a link to it in an easy-to-find place on your sidebar, or you can make a page for it (Wordpress function)!
Great to see that our blogless participants are making use of the UK Swappers blog. Thank you ladies!
CHANGE IN INFORMATION: Alice has been swamped and won't be able to help co-host. (Did you know she's getting married at the end of February?!) Anyway, as I'm currently co-host-less, I am going to limit the amount of participants to 50. We are currently at 29, so this shouldn't be a problem. But sign-ups will close either when we reach 50 participants, or January 21st, whichever comes first.
Regardless, this is meant to be fun so sit back, relax, and enjoy the swap!
