    Morning! Tash you've got my vote if you're happy to organise it. I have absolutely no idea how it works so off to google now, think Mardartha said she was away for a few days in the hills (I think so?) so I'm sure she'll enlighten us all a bit more.

    Edit: nope, I'm still stumped! Lots of anonymous posts came up, but the only one that was really relevant was on a tarot site! They were sending packages to nominated people, but they were all about tarot cards!

    Thanks all

    As far as I can make out someone has a centeral list of addresses and everytime you feel another mouse is going through a hard time you casn nominate them to recieve a card/small gift to help them out or cheer them up.

    I am unsure if the centeral mouse sends out all the cards and gifts or if other mice can ask for addresses, etc.

    I guess this is down to how the other mice feel.

    Again I am happy to store addresses and send cards and all out but need to know which way you all want to do this - if you ant and are happy for everyone to have access to addresses or if you want the centeral person to do that and you can PM them if you think a card/gift is needed.

    I also think it is mostly cards unless the person really is very low or going through a really rough time.

    I guess we could also use this scheme to pass on bits e.g. Sammy needed curtains and if someone had some they wanted to gift to her then they could - bearing in mind the postage !!!

    Or another way ould be you could forward the card/gift to me and I could send it on ???

    Any ideas . . . .
