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.

just to add, my neighbour (who took the parcel in for me) didn't do too well at hiding her confusion at having a parcel addressed to a Mumsnetter Xmas Grin

38d waitingsanta - final thing arrived today and oh my God what can I say but the most massive thank you! You have made me cry, in the best possible way

And you have cheered us all up enormously (or you will have when the DC see how amazingly kind and generous perfect strangers can beXmas Smile) at the end of what has to have been the saddest, most painful year of my and the DC's lives.

A huge thank you to you and to whoever nominated me, you have made this difficult Christmas so much nicer.

Happy Christmas to allXmas Smile

SGM im 7D Xmas Smile you have another parcel on the way tooXmas Grin

Im so glad you have recieved your giftXmas Smile

I have been anxiously awaiting your confirmation as i was worrying that due to the crappy weather it would be delayed!

BrandyButterPie · 13/12/2010 21:49

Serenity - that number is your reference number, not the recipient. I sent to two people and I had to put the same number on each, because it was my number, not theirs.

BibiBelle · 13/12/2010 22:05

46dSanta I got the gift today and it's mine mine mine all mine mine mine Grin sorry to sound grabby but flamin nora thank you Smile

HowsTheSerenity · 13/12/2010 22:31

Brandy - I wrote my number on the back but I could not remember if I wrote 12 or 15 so I am not sure whether the recipient has got it or not. Blush

AddictedtoCrunchies · 14/12/2010 10:43

Ilovesprouts
There should be two more parcels on their way: one for you and one for DS. Coming directly from t'interweb.

ThankYou23D · 14/12/2010 15:06

I've been stunned this morning to have another secret santa arrive in the post.. 23D thank you so much for the Amazon voucher - you are too kind and generous. I feel thoroughly undeserving, but it is an amazing feeling to be part of this. My girls have already been spoilt by 32D, so will see if I dare to use your voucher to spoil myself a little bit..

all my thanks to 23D, 32D and the mystery mumsnetter who nominated us... have a fabulous christmas all

I have just had an email from the coop saying all my Chritmas dinner will be delivered to us at Christmas after being chosen by MN.

I don;t really have words except thank you. And maybe 'sorry' to the diet club leader Xmas Wink

Seriously, whoever nominared me I am so grateful-ds1 got the snu placement we have been desperate for yesterday and we are feeling so very blessed all round.
