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.

Xmas Grin at sirboob

I was your secret santa (am also on my phone and it's too fiddly to name change!). I hope you can find something nice to spend the vouchers on! Also hope your DS likes the gift (it's for 18months plus but my DS likes it - he's a similar age to yours).

Blush re handwriting!

Have a fab Xmas and New Year Xmas Grin

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.

Me too - I hope it has arrived.

Maybe next year we should encourage more nominations for recipients as it looks like there were a lot more donors than nominees, which is simply wonderful.

Igglystuffedfullofturkey · 16/12/2010 21:07

Body I was Secretsantainwaiting - so my parcel did arrive in the end! I sent it early last week so it taken a bit of time!

NoDeliveryYet · 16/12/2010 21:08

I'm not on the south coast - rather wish I was! My postcode starts with OX.

Am loving SirBoob's gratitude Xmas Grin

BaroqinAroundTheChristmasTree · 16/12/2010 21:28

just been thinking about those who sent last week etc that haven't heard. I got mine last week - and thankfully I was in when they arrived. If I'd have been out when they arrived last week I would probably have to wait until next week to arrange to either have them redelivered or trek up to the post office at the other end of town to get them.

It is possible that people are waiting on re-delivery/going to pick up

Xmas Smile

On another note I hope that 76D has seen that my arrived.

83othankyou · 16/12/2010 21:50

MNHQ - I have some extra gifts requiring a good home, am I too late?

RachelMumsnet · 17/12/2010 09:43

We've been asked to post this message from 20Ds match:

'Thankyou20D, you are very welcome Xmas Smile. I hope you and the boys enjoy opening and using the presents as much as we enjoyed choosing them. I also hope that the pyjamas are in the right size, since I wasn't quite sure about sizing? Happy Christmas!'

HappyMNTer · 17/12/2010 14:42

I am so happy Xmas Grin Just got an envelope delivered with reference 8N54D57D on the front.

It contained some vouchers for Toys r us and Tesco. Thankyou! Thankyou! Thankyou! Xmas Grin

You are so kind and I really am so grateful, they will be a HUGE help to us as money is really tight at the moment.

I'm sorry to hear that your DC have been ill, hope you are all on the mend now. Wishing you and your family a very Happy Christmas, you have really made ours a lot better! XXXX

101D, thank you so much for the Amazon voucher which arrived this morning. It is beyond kind of you. Your note said that there's some things for the DDs on the way. Again, thank you. I never cease to be amazed by the kindness of strangers displayed on here. Bunch of vipers? Xmas Hmm Toothless vipers I should think!

It's been a really shitty year. Being nominated (thank you, whoever nominated me) has really cheered me up.

Btw, MNHQ, were you having a laugh with my number? Xmas Hmm Xmas Grin

santa107D · 17/12/2010 16:32

I know everyone is saying RM/Citylink are snowed under, but my parcel tracking says it was delivered on Weds, and I still haven't heard anything from the recipient, am really quite worried it was misdelivered!

ilovesprouts · 17/12/2010 16:46

SantasKnickersOnMyHead · 17/12/2010 17:28
