Hi,

I know Im still a "newbie" but I would love to join in too if thats ok?

Sounds like a brilliant idea!

Love

Debbie

Wow Lorri, U brainbox!

Wonderful idea. Kiddies love getting letters through the post and Ofsted would like it too...
Count me in when I have some kids though, Hehe!

[angeldelight]

Anyone can join in Debbie

Looks like you are on to a winner here Lorri well done

Yes, everyone's welcome to join - even newbies - ha ha!

I would just say that if you don't think you will ever get round to writing then please don't join as it will be a real disappointment to your recipients. I would be gutted not to receive letters so for a child to get all excited about getting a return letter and then nothing arrives it would be really upsetting!

Also, when I give you the name of your penpal partner next weekend it would be a good idea if you sort out between yourselves who is going to write first otherwise each could assume it's the other and everyone will end up with very long waits! Ha ha!

I'm really excited about this! Can't wait to get going!

would love to jon in too Lorri xxx

Brilliant idea

[angeldelight]

Can we write to as many as we like or do we just have to stay in contact with one person

Some of my children are a little older and I know they would love to know what everyone does all over the country

I did join something like this a few years back on ****s but only ever received one letter

So I agree with you Lorri only join this if you are going to reply etc

Oh blimey! Going to get complicated if people want more than one!

How about we start with one each and see how it goes and then in a couple of months we could always 'advertise' for additional ones if it seems to be working okay or people could let me know when they want a new one and I'll keep some kind of note so I can match up when someone else wants one?

I don't know - getting confused now! Ha ha! Doesn't take much!

[mrsbumbles]

Perhaps we could have a 'Penpal wanted' area on the forum, where we could post ourselves? Dont know weather it would work?

[angeldelight]

Well you need to think of an easy way to do this so you are not bogged down with it all Lorri

What a brill idea!!!
I remember doing that when I was 5 with my teacher and our penpals were disabled children and it was great!!!
I do not have children yet but would love to be part of it with my daughter if it is ok.
Thank you for organising it Lorri!

[mrsbumbles]

I can't wait to find out who we will be writing to, its so exciting, like xmas all over again!!!

[jo f]

Yes please! What a good idea!!! Just tell me what to do next!

[Spangles]

Hi Jo F - just wait for me to pm you at the weekend with your penpal and you have to then pm them to arrange it / swap addresses etc. Easy as that!
