Final Baby Card thread!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally I have got this sorted and moving.

I wanted Adrian to get pride of place due to him being the first to make the original announcement.

Unfortunately, he wasn't home until February...but it's signed and on it's way back to me for signing.

I thought it would be pretty cool if we could all leave a short message and signature and alos put your country below so little Ileana will be able to see where this book went to when she is a little older.

If anybody (like Frans) want's to add anything to the package than that is fine...if you want to staple in a photo or something then that's cool too. Maybe there are some folks who can draw or sketch and maybe want to add a quick drawing etc, that's cool too. Let's personalise this and make it represent this community.

If you can also add to this thread and leave a quick note when you have signed it, it will be great, that way we can track it's progress!!!!!!

The order is...

jdc

HarveyEU

Quicksilver

Sini1717

Sportsfan

David watts

Cully

Arttay10

Goodwatch

Jedi

TR

Direction Eng

Lol-x

Swatty

MickeyDainish

JJIrani

Alcan

Ashley

Troy

RPRyan

Lactro

HBA

RockRolex

UncleSallie

Mailman

East Bay Rider

Karis

Carolina

Redshirt

LISA

ijen0311

1Mac

Irish Dan

DSJ

That is the order so far...I know Bodybump is interested in being a part of this so PM me your address Oscar!

If anybody else wants to sign the first official Rolex 08 Baby catalogue for Mireyna's gorgeous little girl, please pm me and I'll see what I can do.

J

Edit

Toph, I've knocked you off the UK order...when it's in Australia, I'll figure out a way to get it to you to sign

I've been wondering what the total postage price will be after sending the catalogue around the world.

A nice little earner, no doubt.

Let's get this show on the road But after my mate Jim mentioned 'adding something to the package' the following mental view sprung to mind: in about a year, a ten ton container will be delivered to the astounded mother Can you picture it too?

No, that may require one of your blue pills.

How about putting that something in the container that you've been promising me for three years

Oh, dear. You mean Valentine's Day isn't the day you try to throw your husband out of the house? No wonder he was so crabby about my request!

You are a perv!!!!!!!!!!

Now with matters of a much sweeter nature....

Book is signed and packaged, Claire will post tomorrow am to Martin (JDC). Should arrive saturday or monday morning.

Martin, as I said Harvey asked me to put you in the list before him so you will need to pm him and ask for his address. I'll pm harvey to remind him to send it to you anyway.

Everybody else, expect a pm soon telling you where to send it on next.

Good work all and thank you everybody for being a part of this!!!!!!!!!!!

Regards

Jim



PS don't think it's an ordeal Mireyna, it's the least we could do and a real pleasure...I apologise it's taken me so long to sort it all out!!!!!

That sounds like a method for getting him out of the DOGhouse.

Book is making it's way around the UK as we speak...all addresses recieved by pm so far so all well and good.

Soon be off to The Netherlands and then out of Europe to the rest of the world...it will be the world's most well travelled Rolex catalogue...do you think we should inform Rolex?
