You can send her my addy if you want, I'll trade with her.  Only if you feel comfortable engaging her again.  Just a thought   
I totally get deadlines are in place for a reason (even though I missed it too LOL)
don't feel bad  :hug:

You have a PM.

Thanks for your commitment, I hope, you can swap together, I will feel much more better if yes

Hi all, I am the Grump. Would like a chance to explain as this is the kind of thing that happens so easily and ends up (with miss understanding and miss communication) having bad feelings. I really did not think I had caused any but is seems I have. So please hear my side and perhaps it will put an end to this.

As usual, If it wasn't for the last minute I wouldn't do anything. I had not decided whether to do the swap for various reasons, and decided I would like to. But was on my way to Batad etc. (just posted some pics) So sent a mail to Tanni to say I would love to join but would only be back on "next Friday" I meant today, 8th. She thought I meant last week. (miss communication)

Have had dodgy communication if any for the last 2 weeks and did not have the mailing address with me. So fully understood when she said she could not include me. I did not think that the mailing address was that important at this stage. And that I why I said she should do what she felt necessary. I meant she could either exclude me or wait for the address. That is all. It is her swap and her rules. I was happy with that.

I feel very sad that I have been portrayed as an unhappy person out to cause problems. It was never the intention. I have merely been out of communication. If this has left a bitter taste in anyone's mouth I apologize. I know it has hurt me. I finally get to check TT today after a long absence and find I have been labeled as someone I never want to be.
