Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I hate work SS too but very difficult to avoid in a small team. Gets to be a real nightmare when people are off sick and haven't brought theirs in before others finsih for Christmas. Last year I tried ignoring it for as long as possible but eventually someone piped up about it. This year I decided to ask early in the hope that the response would be 'lets not do it this year' but after a long pause the answer was sort of positive.

we've never done a SS at work, other than the small group of us girls who were mate anyway and was better than buying for each other. Thinking about it I would struggle to know what to buy some people who I work with so can appreciate it being difficult. But then why take part if you're not going to try to get something nice?

Because you want a present?

Seriously though there is someone who has been off sick with a poorly foot since before we drew the names. When I asked if she wanted in she said she did and then followed that by saying that she'd get her husband to bring hers in. When I started talking about drawing a name and getting it to her she announced she'd get a generic gift and we could label it! WTF!!!!!

I saw Meglet kissing Santa Claus
Generic gift? That wouldn't work in my workplace!

We've had some great ones, some people put quite a bit of effort into thinking of something suitable. Ours has fallen though this year due to recent staff changes, might be resurrected if we do our 'Christmas' drinks in January!

I think the thing that bothers me is that I went to a lot of effort and bought a thoughtful and nice gift. I got a bar of soap in a tin and a weird everyday sponge for in the bath. I have eczema so won't use the soap as I will almost certainly be allergic. It will join the rest of the unwanted smellies which will be recycled!!

Mum says that fudge bunny has received a parcel addressed to him at theirs which means she assumes the parcel received yesterday could well be the SS pressie...if the SS addressed it to my proper name then yes it has arrived, if not I am still waiting x

I declare FSS 2011 is officially here.....

I have created a group http://www.fetcheveryone.com/groups-view.php?id=992

For stalking purposes 'fetchname site:fetcheveryone.com'

Finally a spreadsheet to record when you have a) sent your gift - b) received your gift and soon after opening it c) what you got cos we're all dying to know what each other got and your SS will be hoping you enjoy your gift.

docs.google.com

Thank you to all those who have been super efficient and for another pre Christmas of fun. You have been the best elves :)
