Swap 2015!

[lcockitt]

My mega swap gift has been posted today!

Sadly my mini swap gift isn't ready yet due to the ladies in my family deciding to spend lots of time in hospital over the last few months. There will be extra goodies inside to make up for it though when it finally gets sent out!

Everybody knows I suffer badly from clinical depression and anxiety (and more.) For those who don't know, the semicolon on this pendant is a symbol of Project Semicolon. "A semicolon represents a sentence the author could have ended, but chose not to. That author is you and the sentence is your life." This is super personal and a really lovely gift.

When LucyInTheSky said I was gonna freak she made the biggest understatement of the year! Thank you so very much!

EDIT: oh yeah, she even included some batteries for the clock!

[LucyInTheSky]

You're so welcome!! I'm glad everything made it there safely. I'm also shocked at how quickly that arrived... I mailed it on Saturday afternoon.

And was the google right that the UK uses different sized batteries than the US? I had an "oh sh**" moment a few days ago when it finally occurred to me to wonder about that.

Haha, silly google. We definitely use the same batteries as you, and everywhere else too! But it's fine, I always need AAs!

Ha, okay. Here's what I read on Wiki. I think it meant that the name was used until 1980 but I read it as AA's were used until the 1980s. I wasn't sure if you were like America where one day you just say "screw it, we're switching to a different standard" and/or America at one point said "oh, the rest of the world uses __ for battery sizes? We will make our own standard!"

[blackmageheart]

Oh, yeah. Same battery, just had a different name up to that point
