Good News - my package is on its way I made it to the PO with one whole minute to spare to catch the last post to US before Christmas.
Bad News - I have had a nightmare of a day, arrived at DGD's Christmas play to discover it had started 30 mins earlier luckily I got there just as she was about to go on to do her piece wonderful.
Then I could not find a store that had padded envelopes in stock tried four until I found one, arrived home with envelopes with 20 minutes to make up package and get to PO.
So SP partner your package is on the way BUT I forgot to put one thing in so sorry and I was very short of time on another item so you might have to trim a few threads (HINT you like hand embroidery).
Fingers crossed PO gets package to you in a timely manner. More clues to follow
