Should I have received details about Christmas Appeal by today?

That's it, basically. I offered a donation - I know I only got in on the last day but I did receive a confirmation email.

I have checked the original thread which lists today as the day by which we should have received an email with details and address of the recipient.

I appreciate this is a huge task to sort out but, if the emails have been sent, where is mine?

Anyone know?

Hello all,

Thanks for reporting this thread.
Well it is a minefield isn't it?

We use 'the mumsnetter of the house' to keep it an anonymous as possible, some people have said it is fine to hand over RL names and we have done this for a few.

If the poster is abroad we have tried to be as specific as possible but this isn't always possible.

If the value of your gift (if specified) is not large but we have matched you with a family with a gazillion children, fear not. We don't expect you to cater for all of them, we will have matched them with others.

If we have matched you with just the MNetter it is fine to assume that they are female (we have said if they are not) and there is a reason we have done so e.g. they deserve a lovely treat just for them. In this instance, if you donated vouchers something like Boots/ JL/ Debenhams etc would be lovely, just think what you would like.

There is no set date to post but any time from now is fine to avoid the Christmas madness.

Any questions please do email or ask here and report your post and we will do our best to answer. The appeal is rather mahooosive this year and we have tried our best to match with an appropriate MNetter.

We still have one or two bits to fix, so if you haven't heard or you have emailed me because I have made a few mistakes Blush we will be mailing you early next week to get it all ironed out.

@muddysnowballsthenativitycow

I haven't had a confirmation email yet!Sad

Hi Muddy,
We sent you your match on the 25th at 1.30. Can you check your spam folder please?

@Dysgu

I am now feeling slightly jealous of everyone who already has a match. I am thinking it was a good thing to start this thread as there seem to be lots of questions about 'etiquette' for this kind of thing.

That said, I still have not received my match so I guess I will do so in the next few days. Good to see that the appeal if big this year so lots of people must be going to receive some lovely stuff.

We have just fw your mail on to you as we had the wrong email addy, can you let me know when you have it please?

@Haribojoe

Thanks Rebecca, one more question.

I have several children for my match (not a problem as said I could probably help 2 families depending on cost) was going to buy toy for each child.

Should I wrap the presents or just send in box so mumsnetter of house knows what they are getting and is it bad form to include gift receipt in case I buy something they already have or is not suitable!

Am looking forward to special shopping trip for them Smile

It is completely up to you. In the past folks have bought presents for the children and included wrapping for the MNetter to do herself and this has worked well or you could wrap and maybe pop a note in so that the MNetter doesn't buy a duplicate?

@smokinaces

Rebecca I've had no email either? Have checked Spam folder too?

Found and sent over.

The email address that we have for you must be an old one, have replied to the one you mailed your donation in from.
Hope that's ok, let us know if not?
