Ah, the old 'out of stamps' problem. Happened to me in the UAE too only it was much more ridiculous - the person serving me was out of stamps of the correct value but not the other staff who work there who were either on their break or not working that day. The guy serving me couldn't take stamps from the books of the other staff and thought I should just line up for an hour on another day to send my postcards or buy stamps that cost almost double the required value.
I will check in with your sender, katje, to see if you received everything that you should have.

OK, I got on a boat this morning and went across the lake. The post office there did have stamps, my SS package has been mailed and is on it's way.

that's an expedition, Katje! Us in the supposedly slightly more civilised/organised part of the world don't appreciate all this really.

Katje, your Secret Santa said that the contents of the package you received is what was sent. So thankfully nothing fell out despite the rip in the envelope

Well, it was signed, "Santa."
AND
I just this moment opened it cause I knew if it was from you, it would be the right size and color.
FUDGIN A! I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! No one else in the world would've sent me a lime green, linen top with turquoise and black designs. The style is SOOOO fudging cool, the colors are great, AND it FITS! I swear, Voy, you could make millions as a personal shopper. Can't believe how great this shirt is. Thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU SO SO MUCH. I'm stoked.

LOL Voy.. I know I know.. was just " playing the victim" It must be landed in Argie by now, I think. Do not dare calling her since she said it is v expensive but if she gets in touch with you tell her to feel free to call me whatever she needs. Eth, enjoy your presents!!!! Your happiness is worth sending!

Voy, she said it was too expensive to text her so I e mailed her and we will meet on Monday if all is ok. Does she leave on Tue? (freaking at the thought something goes wrong, but her schedule is too tight!) If ANYTHING went wrong, my cousin returns in 2 or 3 weeks so your bag is safe and or I will send it by post otherwise.
