STORMIE SAVES XMAS HAS BEEN HANGING BY A THREAD!! HANGING BY A THREAD!!!!
(reference to good old 80's TV Show "Bread" there!)
To allow Stormie to, well, save Xmas I need two parcels to come good in time - one from Dave Tree, one from Belgium (we could possibly go ahead without that one, subject to one or two plot tweaks ("plot??? Plot????? That'll be a first!").
Luckily I have just come off the phone from the elusive Indiana Tree and he has found me what I need from his end, and he promises me it's on it's way (he said it was in a dusty old cave, next to a Crystal Skull and some old box with some stone tablets in it). So once he gets them to me we are only awaiting a parcel from a nameless ebay vendor in Belgium!
Will he come good in time????? Will the parcel arrive???? Does he realise the global ramifications of his posting the parcel to me in time?????
So, whilst we are not quite there yet - for his part in it - INDIANA TREE HAS TODAY SAVED STORMIE SAVES XMAS" (maybe). Now, as reluctant as I am to admit it, the fate of Xmas rests in the hands of a Belgian....
