I kind of got it out in the title. Put a lot of effort into my mumsnet santa parcel. Spent quite a bit, and bought vouchers in case they didn't like what I'd chosen; bought wrapping paper, tags, little things for the childrens stockings, books, the stockings themselves, put gift receipts in for everything just in case they didn't like it. The whole thing. Struggled down to the post office with it (it was huge), stood in line for 20 mins to post it, got in late to work feeling quite smug. Tracked it on line, it was marked as delivered last weds.
And nothing.
Not a sausage.
I am not going to pretend to be a lovely altruistic person, I did want someone to say thank you, but what I really want is to just know it's with the right person and not some random person the parcelforce guy just found next door or whatever.
Why would someone not tell me that they'd recived it, even if, for whatever reason, they couldn't say thank you?
So I'm quite cross. And thinking I probably ABU as it was a gift and the joy of giving etc etc. But I would like to know all that effort had some kind of impact.
