So the spreadsheets have been completed, the matches have gone out, all is done. [gin]
We're all waiting with bated breath. If you're a recipient and you'd like to pop back on here when your gift arrives to thank your donor then do remember to look out for your MN code which will have been included in the address on the packaging and include it in your post. The person who sent the gift will then be able to know it's you.
If anyone has any questions about anything to do with the Mumsnet Christmas Appeal then do please email Santa.Claus@mumsnet.com.
Ho Ho Ho!

Worth saying that if you wish to stay anonymous you can change your name to recipient1943 or whatever when posting.
Blimey I thought someone had already bought, sent and someone recieved, was panicking then!!

Got my match yesterday, bought a thing today, tracking down a specific thing tomorrow, adding a few bits and bobs and will post at the weekend. I really hope I get it right.
Celtic, I had mine by email from Santa Claus. I nearly didn't read it, as I thought it was spam.
Have mine bought too, really excited to see whether the recipient loves it.

I've been nominated and I am truly grateful for the thought, let alone any actual stuff-type-stuff. Lovely givers, thank you all, because when things are a bit of a struggle it's a comfort to know that I'm not totally alone and that someone I don't know is wishing me and my DCs well.
You are a (collective) star.
Ok whoever I got. I'm sorry. I will post it next week, I absolutely promise.
I've bought it (today) there's no way on earth I will get to post office before Monday. Please can everyone not be super organized and have sent theirs already and make me look like an unorganized uncaring mess who can't get to the post office before it shuts.
Thanks.

I'll be posting in two weeks, am [shocked] at those of you posting immediately! I had to go to Amazon to buy some bits to post and ill need to pop to the shops on Saturday morning to get some bits from Montezuma's and other places too Hopefully it'll have come together by the end of next week
