Well, then - let's get down to it. Your hints are good, but not perfect. You say that you love all things Indian. Would that be American Indian or East Indian? Stripy socks? How big? Distance from toe to heel and circumference of instep, please.

dear fantastic santa

it is indeed wonderful to hear from you. I always wondered if you were real, and now I know for sure. but, secret fantastic santa, your hints are not perfect. someone blunt, down to earth, quick to the point. hmmm. I wonder who you are?

today the skinks are sunning themselves in my garden, and i am going out there to join them.

thaaanks for your questions. Indian indian, thank you. stripy socks - for a female foot, not too big. fine stripes, not wide stripes, or any shade of purple!

best wishes

freda
ps i promise to try to be good.

Oh, I Wish I'd Looked After Me Teeth

by Pam Ayres

Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth,

And spotted the perils beneath

All the toffees I chewed,

And the sweet sticky food.

Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth.



I wish I'd been that much more willin'

When I had more tooth there than fillin'

To give up gobstoppers,

From respect to me choppers,

And to buy something else with me shillin'.



When I think of the lollies I licked

And the liquorice allsorts I picked,

Sherbet dabs, big and little,

All that hard peanut brittle,

My conscience gets horribly pricked.



My mother, she told me no end,

'If you got a tooth, you got a friend.'

I was young then, and careless,

My toothbrush was hairless,

I never had much time to spend.



Oh I showed them the toothpaste all right,

I flashed it about late at night,

But up-and-down brushin'

And pokin' and fussin'

Didn't seem worth the time - I could bite!



If I'd known I was paving the way

To cavities, caps and decay,

The murder of fillin's,

Injections and drillin's,

I'd have thrown all me sherbet away.

Well I know you like cats, I know you read about Irish history, and I know you don't use Wal-mart, but I need more facts, remember Dragnet? "The facts Ma'am just the facts"

You landsmen that live on land,
It's little do you know
What us poor seamen do endure
When stormy winds do blow;
On St. Patrick's Day we sailed away
In the Schooner Mary Ann,
We left New York, our native home,
Bound down for Newfoundland.

Get hinting mo chride!

Yours SS

Liz has to send each message out individually. It takes a while, and the Mudcat has been running slow off and on. Add to that, she had to make a road trip for a couple of days. So everyone, together now, "Anticipation is makin' me wait. . ."

Almost half past October already better think about getting up and letting the reindeer out. Poor Rudolph's been crossing his legs since mid August and scratching at the door. I assume you don't need a pile of manure for the roses? OK well I'd better think of something better then - watch this space!

The secret santa secretary is at a family funeral in Dorset today. I am sure she will resume sending santee's out as soon as she returns. It takes a long time to send out all those PM's, I know, I did it 2 years running.

If Rudolph (your secrete-ive deer, long may he rein) brings the manure,that is to say, if it behooves him, I'd need some New Roses, dear Secret Sanity! Though, some say I have enough New Roses already.

Santas/Santees have been allocated, the remaining PMs will be with you by the end of this week, all being well with the 'Cat and me not coming down with something after my aunt's horse nibbled my boobies.
