Mumsnet Talk

FWIW the recipients do not know their secret santa numbers. Those numbers are written on the parcels and only then do they find out that they are MN050 or so on.

So if your recipient has not been on the thread to say thanks, it could be that they have not received the parcel and have no idea what their number is.

They can email Sandy and request their secret santa number. Then they could post on this thread informing their SS that the parcel was not received so that the giver can claim from the PO.

Perhaps if those who have sent and not yet heard if their parcels have arrived asked Sandy, she can email the intended recipient and just asked if they received anything?

Maybe next year recipients will know in advance what their secret santa number is and an email could also be sent to all who took part with a link to the SS thread and a reminder for recipients to post once they have received their parcel and a request that senders post once they have sent the parcels off. This would give recipients an idea as to when the parcel was posted and how many they should receive.

Firstly I'd just like to say a big sorry for taking so long to come on this thread to offer my thanks. Very ashamed of myself, hence NC.

I don't know who it was who nominated me/sent me a gift but I am so, so touched.

I've been going through a bit of a time of it recently (just coming out of another breakdown) and to know that someone cares enough to be so kind to me, a complete stranger, has meant the world to me. It still brings tears to my eyes

Thank you again, I know it sounds really feeble but your kindness has been like a little chink of light in the darkness [pathetic emoticon] xx

testing

I have just found that I am MN221, but my parcel never arrived.

I would however, like to say a huge thankyou to the person who nominated me, and my SS, it was so lovely to be nominated, I'm just so sorry that your parcel has gone astray.

I hate to think of someone going to the trouble and expense of buying and sending a gift, and it never arriving, and I don't want them to think that I'm just an ungrateful so and so.

I am very late to this thread, so please accept my apologies.

I just wanted to say a very BIG thank you to MN114 for the lovely gifts I received just before Christmas. To say I was overwhelmed was an understatement - everything was so well chosen and thought about and it was a really really nice surprise.

I wish I could send you a 'thank you' card, but whoever you are, it was very much appreciated and very very kind. I had a difficult evening on Thursday and ate the Green and Blacks chocolate bar in one whole sitting. Lifesaver!

I sent as well and haven't heard anything. I paid extra to have it tracked and insured - the signature on the royal mail site is just a squiggle - so if it hasn't made it, I could claim and resend it, but I've no way of knowing.

I sent to MN043 and never saw acknowledgement here. I'm not seeking thanks but like others have said, it would be nice to know it got there.

I received from MN176 (or was it 174?)! and never saw that acknowledged either so I hope they have lurked and know that I got their parcel.

And I know of someone on another thread who had no idea about this thread so they could say thanks...

I still think its a great idea and will be nominating and donating again next year.

The parcel I sent sadly didn't arrive. I've been in touch with the MNer I sent it to, and with MNHQ. Have the receipt so planning to chase it up at my Post Office. I do wonder if our MN SS parcels might be especially vulnerable - just a thought ?

How do you find out your number,

I'm one of the 10 who hasn't received anything yet, how do you know your number?

Would so like to thank my SS.

Well, my parcel to MN069 was returned today as well. You know who you are, please PM me if you would like it sent again

I'm MN186 and am too one of the 10. I guess someone had to be.

MsVelvet - sorry it's not me. My MNer number is MN 020.
I've done a search on both threads and no one has posted to say they have sent it
Although over 200 matches were done and I think there are only 10 people posting that they either haven't received or had notification they have arrived. Royal Mail still have a lot to answer for though

My number as i have just found out is MN133 nothing received as of yet still, so if you are my SS then at least you know. Sorry x

Sandy mumsnet who organized it all. This year. She's probably n a heap of gin bottles after the stress of it all!
You could email the normal mumsnet address or the one in the OP?
Hope you get it sorted

No i don't know my number, who is sandy? Thanks JustasmallGless

I haven't received anything yet either, I have emailed Sandy but I don't know my SS number, it really worries me that someone has gone to the trouble and expense of buying and sending something, only for it not to arrive, I don't want anyone to be out of pocket, or be thinking I'm an ungrateful so and so

My road has an odd layout, and I do wonder if it's gone to the other road which my tiny little one leads off of.

hi my ss number was * MN094* not recived yet dont want you to be out of pocket

Msvelvet do you know your number? If not you could email Sandy and then post on here. Those of us still stalking waiting on this thread could then claim from Royal Mail if its gone astray

Still not received anything from my lovely ss and i really hope they are not thinking i am ungrateful as i have not thanked them yet

So pleased that my parcel was safely (and gratefully) received.

Thank you Simpson for the lovely card x

Mine was MN012 and was going all the way to Canada sent on 3/12 not lurking merely for a thank you as that is not what this is all about. Just want to know that it got there really.

My number was/is MN138 - posted a card to Scotland the Friday before Xmas.

I'm just outside that area pie, and no more parcels arrived.

The first parcel I posted to MN069 was returned to me by the Royal Mail this morning

I'm now looking at a sad pile of still wrapped xmas presents, (including a pretty scarf, some posh chocs, some peppa pig chocs, a ballerina in a frame craft kit and a John Lewis voucher) and feeling a bit miserable....

There's a second parcel which I sent about 2 weeks later with stuff for the older dcs still out there somewhere - I wonder if that made it into the letterbox as it was smaller?

Argh! I of course mean lose! Bloody iPad!
