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.

Dear 107 recipient - cld you reassure me that you actually have the parcel? Parcelforce says it arrived today but worried someone has purloined it!

wewishyouamerrylissiemas · 15/12/2010 19:19

SecretSanta36D · 15/12/2010 19:29

DanceInTheDark · 15/12/2010 20:12

Santa29D · 15/12/2010 20:25

thanks to sleighBell's prompt, i read back through the thread...

without wishing to steal anyone's thunder, simpson - do you think your ref could be 29D and not 24D? Your parcel sounds very familiar to me.. Xmas Grin

Santa29D · 15/12/2010 20:37

just to clarify - i sent one parcel, the one with the costume (which i am so glad your DD liked, i did worry it may be a little big for her)

BaroqinAroundTheChristmasTree · 15/12/2010 20:58

Santa29D - I have sent Simpson a message on FB to alert her to your message as she's not posted o here for a couple of days (or on FB) Xmas Smile

PosieParkhersleigh · 15/12/2010 21:10

74D My Goodness me, thank you thank you thank you. I am completely overwhelmed and therefore ill equipped to say the right words to express my immense gratitude. Thank you to whomever nominated me, I really do not feel I deserve it. 74D you have made my christmasxxxx

And I hope you're having a good one too!!!

80D · 15/12/2010 21:33

Trinity Glad you got your parcel ok.

Being a relative newbie, you were one of the first posters I remember and who had an impact on me in my first few weeks here, and one of the reasons I hung about Xmas Smile

So it's nice that my first MN secret santa parcel went to you!

Hope the little bits were ok for your dd's, I have very little experience with pink ones Xmas ConfusedXmas Grin

simpson · 15/12/2010 21:55

baroqin - thanks for message Smile

Sorry yes its 29D Blush Blush

Costume fits DD perfectly Smile

I am doing a little Christmas meal tomorrow for tea as both Dcs missed their playgroup/school parties due to chickenpox so she will insist on wearing it then and will will be using some of the the crackers etc.

I have to say I think I would have been going slowly insane without the crafty stuff as DS off school but now feeling ok iyswim and is bored so the arty stuff has really helped.

I have saved the "3 little pigs & wolf" puppets to do on friday Smile

Thanks soooo much Grin Grin

Posie

You are most welcome. Merry Christmas

SooooBehind · 16/12/2010 11:24

Well I'm having a frustrating day today - DD2 off school ill and today was my wrapping day. Angry

So now I have no childfree time at all to wrap except after they've gone to bed and I can be sure they're fully asleep.

I've been stomping and muttering all morning about not sleeping for a few hours each night.And then low and behold the postman comes and cheers me up, and makes me weep simultaneously.

Thank you my MN Secret Santa (no code on the card at all to thank you properly Sad).

It's a WHSmith giftcard to treat the DCs with, I shall tell them the origin of the gift and take them all next week to get them to choose something themselves as I really think that this whole process of kindness and thoughtfulness is a great thing for them to learn about. I am hoping that they will absorb the principles of this and maybe can learn about compassion and take it with them in their futures.

These last 2 years have been very difficult for us, as DH has been out of work for most of it, and although he's back in work now, as you can imagine, we have a hell of a lot of financial catching up to do. I'm hoping that next year I can be in the position to donate something.

So, , thank you so much Secret Santa (who sent a Marlborough High Street card).

And a big thanks to the kind MNer who nominated me.

Smile
