Via the royal mail? We posted ours very early december but nothing yet...I expect he's been busy but my DD2 keeps asking to check post box for it!

Yes we wrote in mid dec and got a card back a good fortnight ago. Did you remember to put your return address.....?

DoveSecret · 21/12/2018 21:48

Nope. Kids at school wrote but no replies. Ive typed out 14 letters this morning to avoid tears!

Santa has written to us thanks to the lovely people at the NSPCC.

We’ve had ours from the NSPCC, they’re brilliant!

Bumbumtaloo · 21/12/2018 21:50

We got our letters back from RM yesterday. We had only written about a week and a half before.

Orangedaisy · 21/12/2018 21:51

Sorry meant we wrote in nov.

ConsistentInsomniac · 21/12/2018 21:51

We had one from RM yesterday. Posted ours about a week before the deadline.

Isittimeforbed · 21/12/2018 21:53

We wrote in the last week of November and got cards back a couple of days ago.

M0reGinPlease · 21/12/2018 21:53

No and I'm bloody furious about it. They've said they're busy. Why are they marketing a service (which we paid for btw as, naturally, you have to use a stamp) that they're too busy to provide. Or maybe it's because the address was 'Reindeerland'. FFS. Even my 3yo said 'I thought he lived at the North Pole?'

I forgot the NSPCC do it, I'll use them next year.

Oh no! It must have been the copious amounts of octonauts stickers she stuck over the envelope, must have got stuck somewhere. Hadn't even occured to me to write a reply back myself Blush

Yes we got a royal mail card about a week ago.

thebigmaniswatching · 21/12/2018 22:37

Our Royal Mail one came yesterday, sent the letter originally about end of November,

PatchworkElmer · 21/12/2018 22:40

DS’s was sent by his nursery weeks ago... nothing back yet, as far as I’m aware!!

SpeedofaSloth · 21/12/2018 22:41

Yes, last week.

CrookedMe · 21/12/2018 22:44

We've done it I think four times and never got anything back...

purplerainbows · 21/12/2018 22:44

I'd recommend the NSPCC, they do a great job and it's for a good cause.

MrsLJ2014 · 21/12/2018 22:46

Not yet and definitely sent before the deadline. Last 2 years we had a speedy reply!

LittleLlamaontheduskyroad · 21/12/2018 23:39

Not had ours yet. I was impressed last year, we sent it one day after the deadline, by accident, and they still sent back a lovely reply.

FogCutter · 21/12/2018 23:44

We sent 2 letters off 2nd December and got 1 response today, still waiting for the other one!

SassitudeandSparkle · 21/12/2018 23:46

We haven't done it this year but in previous years we've always had a reply from RM and it's been a nice card. They do have a very early cutoff date in December though, did you definitely send it before the deadline and include a return address? I used to write our address on the letter to make sure they didn't have to decipher DD's writing!

Sortingfinances · 21/12/2018 23:48

Hadn't even realised this was a thing. Daughter posted her letter as usual on 1st Dec. No stamp, just addressed to father Christmas, north pole. She got a reply about a week ago and was chuffed to bits.
