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.

I have just had a parcel delivered from the very lovely 20D.

Thankyou so much! It has fab Christmas Eve kits for my sons and some scrummy chocolates and a really, really lovely card.

You are obviously a very thoughtful and generous person, the boys will love opening presents on Christmas Eve and I will love the chocolates Grin I may even share with DP!

I hope that you and your family have a wonderful Christmas, your generosity and kindness has really touched me x

Apologies for not being with it Blush Am blaming being stuck in house with sick Dcs Grin

Soooo 24D thanks for the lovely book (racing track) and lovely smellies for myself Grin

SecretSanta28D · 16/12/2010 13:23

Has anyone received a parcel from 28D?

I also sent a gift voucher, but Amazon say it has been redeemed so I know it was received, but wanted to check if the parcel that I sent was also delivered?

Hi, i have emailed Rebecca at MNHQ and she said i post on here. I nominated and got a match for a mumsnetter and Ive ordered some things online and they havent come yet, and with the snow we are bound to get, i dont hold much hope, so to someone, there is a gift coming as soon as i receive it, but it may be after christmas, im so very sorry.

PosieParkhersleigh · 16/12/2010 16:42

Hey 74D, couldn't have come at a better time, I have just taken my last £100 out to buy presents, left it in the cashpoint and a woman in a yellow jacket is on CCTV taking it. GuttedSad.

i would like to say thank you to my second secret santa, for an amazon gift voucher which arrived today

i am v grateful :)

NoDeliveryYet · 16/12/2010 17:17

Hello. Just wanted to say, without seeming grabby or anything, that some very, very kind, thoughtful person nominated me, but nothing has been delivered as yet.

I feel so humbled at being nominated, I hesitated to post on here as I really don't want to come across as being grabby. But I have seen several doners saying they posted vouchers/parcels out a while ago and I would hate to think that someone has sent me something and thinks I haven't had the grace to come and say thank you when I haven't received it!

Secretsantainwaiting · 16/12/2010 17:57

NoDelivery what's your code? I posted something last week and I'm getting twitchy that it wont arrive! I blame DH - he posted it for me.

NoDeliveryYet · 16/12/2010 18:10

I don't know. As a nominee, I wasn't given a code. I guess I will find it on the package when it's delivered?

arentfanny · 16/12/2010 18:24

I posted something a fortnight ago, purple enbelope card had an angel on and a dodgy picture of my DD on the back, was 71D/.

DoNotWantAnotherMincePie · 16/12/2010 18:42

NoDelivery - You could say roughly what area you are from (ie South Coast) as a way of giving a clue.

I delivered something a while ago and no one has posted yet that it has been received. I dont want to seem like I was only doing it for the thanks but I just want to know that it was delivered ...so no I don't think you are grabbing. I am starting to get very frustrated that either my gift has been lost in the post or someone couldn't be bothered to come and let me know they received it (I know there could be many other reasons too!)

Any way I sent a card to a town on the south coast...ring any bells?

Secretsantainwaiting · 16/12/2010 19:04

I also sent mine to a large seaside town (I think it's a city now?) on the south coast. For a MNer with a DS.

TheMNetterOfTheHouse · 16/12/2010 19:09

Hi, I would like to say a massive massive thank you for the Gift Cards that I received for Next and Pizza Hut Smile.

They did arrive yesterday but I worked and then had DD's school play and Blush didn't come on to say thank you last night.

As I was shopping today, I used the Next voucher and treated my self to a top similar to this but with a soft floral print. SmileBlush I am wearing it now but will put it away till Christmas now I have had a twirl Grin

The Pizza Hut will be a fabulous treat for the DC's and might try and combine it with a cinema trip over the holidays.

After a tough time it has been overwhelming to be thought of and Nominated and treated in this way. The Envelope with the code on has disappeared for now but I hope you know who you are.

People's kindness is overwhelming and has touched me deeply. Thank you and all the very best to you and yours.. Mittz xxx

SantasKnickersOnMyHead · 16/12/2010 19:12

Hoping my parcel has been delivered.

It was collected Tuesday by 24 hour courier so should have arrived by now.

I now have no interent access at home due to dc's pulling buttons off laptop (again) and I am currently using a pc at college, but we break up today.
