Secret Santa Thank You Thread

I have asked in Site Stuff where to put this with no reply, so if it's wrong can you move MN please? Thanks.

Yesterday I received a gorgeous pack of coasters that we can put pictures in, and a box from Amazon with toys including a Rubiks magic puzzle for my ds's.

I want to say a huge thank you to whichever person sent them. They are perfect and the feeling someone cares enough to have nominated and / or bought for us makes a difference. Two weeks ago we thought we were about to become homeless after a bloody rough year and although that has passed we're still feeling very shaken and it's so good to have some light out there. Christmas stands between now and our ds4 being seen at the Paediatrician's request (for those who don't know ds1 has asd, ds2 dyspraxia and ADD, ds3 asd) and this has given me the Christmas spirit I was missing.

Thank you, I wish you all a most wonderful of festive seasons.

allgoodnamestaken - final gift on way via findmeagift.com from 27D; should be there this week but was delayed slightly. Couldn't add a gift mesaage to this one, but it is intended as a shared gift for both DDs.

Hulababy · 12/12/2010 10:46

Oops, flip - was meant to be in secret santa name Blush!

thighsmadeofcheddar · 12/12/2010 13:15

I'm in the same boat Pigeon. Checking frantically. Eek. I hope it's not lost.

TheMonster · 12/12/2010 14:00

Me too, thighs made of cheddar. My parcel should have arrived by now.

BaroqinAroundTheChristmasTree · 12/12/2010 14:34

Another possibility I've just thought of is if the person is out when the parcel arrives it could have been sent back to the post office and be waiting for the nominee to go and pick it up/rearrange delivery.

Try not to worry yet Xmas Smile

I got mail today Smile

DanceInTheDark · 12/12/2010 15:20

60D thanks to you we will be having a fab xmas dinner. Usually just a roast but used the M&S voucher for some yummies. You were very generous thank you .

(Thank you just doesn't seem like enough)

TotalChaos · 12/12/2010 15:30

Thank you very much to my secret santas, and to whoever nominated me, and of course MNHQ for making this possible:-

  1. 12D - Thank you very much for the kind treat of a gift voucher, much appreciated, I'll probably use it to get a few books for DS for Xmas from WHS.
  1. 11D - Thank you very much for the thoughtful selection of treats for all the family, I'm afraid the chocolates and lego have already been discovered (left them visible in the kitchen) Blush so not quite managed to save them for Xmas, thank you for the effort you went to in choosing all the lovely items.

But most of all, I am so touched that people have made so much effort to give me and my family a bit of extra sunshine this Xmas Smile

12D · 12/12/2010 17:59

TotalChaos glad it got there - the post has been a nightmare around here as we've been snowbound so I was quite worried it wouldn't arrive in time. Blush would have wished to do more if I could as I'm rather humbled by the amazing stories on this thread.

Hope you have a Great Christmas.

This is one of my favourite threads on MN Xmas Smile.

I've posted my presents to the recipient 9D

Hope they arrive soon!

HowsTheSerenity · 13/12/2010 08:31

MNHQ HELP! I think I wrote the wrong number on my box to my donor. Could you please tell me what number I was. I can't find the email either.
Thanks.

TotalChaos · 13/12/2010 09:49

No [blushing] allowed for donors! It's all about the thought, the power of connecting as users of MN (won't say as mothers as not all involved in the appeal will be parents).

RebeccaMumsnet · 13/12/2010 10:55

Serenity you are 15D hth

CarmenSales · 13/12/2010 12:24

Love this thread

HowsTheSerenity · 13/12/2010 12:34

Thank you Rebecca. Although now I have been outed as a secret santa.

MNerInWarrington · 13/12/2010 12:35

I got two more parcels this morning, containing gifts for DD1 and DD2.

Thank you so much to my secret santa, you have been so generous and kind. My DC are going to love the things you bought for them, you really couldn't have picked better.

I know its not Christmas yet but I have been wearing the perfume you bought me, couldn't resist it Xmas Grin It feels so lovely to have something for me, such a treat.

I will never forget your kindness, I truly hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas xxx

HowsTheSerenity · 13/12/2010 12:37

ATTENTION 12D or 15D

I was meant to send to 15D but I may have written 12D on the card.

So if you get a parcel covered in s stupidly large amount of brown parcel tape can you please let me know if I wrote the correct number.

Thanks

And yes I could have name changed but I have been outed Grin

Secretsantatoreallywoundup · 13/12/2010 12:47

Reallywoundup I'm glad the voucher arrived ok, sorry it's taken me so long to acknowledge your thank you - I've been away on a course with no time to MN, and arrived home to a DD with chickenpox!

I hope you and your family have a lovely Christmas and a peaceful new year Xmas Grin

SGM, was it a purple envelope and card with a angel on it and a dodgy photo of DD on back?
