That's so sad. It sort of shatters trust doesn't it? If I had known people were "shortchanged" with their gift swops I would have made more effort to send out something special in their Christmad cards, but I only read this now

I didn't join the gift shep for 2 reasons:
1. Postage to and from Bahrain is terribly expensive
2. The pet shops here are rubbish, so to get a nice gift I'd have to buy stuff off the internet, shio it in, then ship it back out again!

I agree with everyone else that you really shouldn't sign up if your can't follow through and deliver!

And it there is anyone on the Christmas cards list who will be sending out out fewer cards than they receive - please don't participate next year!!
