I've got the box now and just deciding what to take out / put in. I just need to check where it's going to next. Dani do you still want it next? If so can you PM me your address please. If not, then who would like it???? _________________ Currently Reading:

Can I join in with this please? I don't want to queue jump anyone and am happy to wait my turn. I have enjoyed watching the box travel and seeing what everyone puts in and takes out. It's a brilliant idea.

Karen, can you let us know what you took out and put in?
(We've done it spoilered so far so people receiving the box wouldn't know what was coming but since it's not going back to Glynis perhaps you don't need to bother!)

Although I have dug out a couple from the 1001 list that I could put in and which have not already been in the box there was nothing that I really wanted to take out. I would have picked something if I was passing the box along it's travels but as it's not I was thinking I would just pass it back as it came to me.
