Secret Santa Thank You Thread

[SantasMooningArse]

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.

SantaKnickers, I am 110D (isnt the D for Donor not recepient?)

Anyway, Annie, so glad you liked everything, and that it finally got there.
Hope your DD gets a nice surprise on Christmas morning!
I do hope you enjoy the book. I think its essential that the actual mumsnetter gets to feel like she is treated too! (Nice for the dcs, but you know, who is the one who has been worrying about making everything special for those dcs? )

Thankyou23D You're very welcome. I'm glad the voucher arrived as given where you are and recent news stories I was a bit worried it wouldn't, or at least not until after Christmas.

Please do treat yourself and have a very happy Christmas.

Was just given the ref 110d

Urm

111d again. I may have put 110 on the card.

Oh,knickers dont worry.
I'm sure your recipient will be delighted whichever number you've written on it!

Have read this thread and have donated in the past. I have a few MNetters I would like to meet and Shabba, you are one of them. You sound like a lovely lady and your family is lucky to have you. Your boys will be watching you and thanking MN for making you as happy as you can and should be.

Thank you Stickyj - I cant keep away from this thread This time of year does have a habit of biting me on the bum IYKWIM....I am OK most of the time and every now and then, usually for no reason the familiar lump comes in my throat and I have to get busy around the house. A few weeks ago I literally had 50p in the bank....I sat downstairs one night worrying....I said 'Matty you better get your act together my darling and help your Mam...Im down that creek without a paddle now!!'

The next day I got an email from MNHQ saying I had been nominated for a Secret Santa ....then we won £10 on the lottery, my friend has sold me an almost brand new wii for my DS4 for less than half the price in the shops etc etc etc....now it all feels like its coming together. Still probably only have a few quid in the bank but just feel calm about everything.

AddictedtoCrunchies thanks so much x

Shabba I love reading your posts and can only hope my Secret Santa went to someone as wonderful, deserving, joyful and heartfelt as you.
I wish you a very Merry Christmas.

AddictedtoCrunchiesooh fab chocs recived today thanks once again x

any donations of sausage rolls (even Greggs) and pigs in blankets gratefully received

Has anyone received a parcel from 15D or 12D yet? I may have written the wrong number down and am now worried that it has also gone missing in the mail as I sent it two weeks ago!!!

The parcel is in a brown second hand cardboard box and has lots of parcel tape around it.

Has anyone received a two things from 21D? They are coming straight from the shop but were despatched aaaaages ago?

Thankyou so much 21D.

The postman came today bearing M&S vouchers and some gorgeous Laura Mercier bathstuff. The vouchers will be fab to buy some lovely treat food for Christmas and some stocking fillers. The bath stuff is certain to destress.

You have made my day. I had no idea i had been nominated. When i got the MN email i assumed it was a christmas card

I have had a seriously stressy day and that has really cheered me up. thank you so much.

Your posting name is in the card but not sure you want it shown so will leave it all anon.

But rest assured you are now on santa's good list. You're fantabulous

Oooh Gigi, how lovely

Santa29D - have you looked back through the thread? I had missed my thank you from Saturday and thought that my gifts hadn't been delivered.

I would like to say a big thank you to whoever nominated me this year. And thank you to mumsnet for selecting me to receive a hamper thingy..

And can I just say - three cheers for Rebecca - you absolute star I hope your Christmas is wonderful after all your hard work on this.
