I've been asked by RebeccaMumsnet to start this thread. Smile

A big thanks to all at MNHQ for arranging this. You little stars!

When posting thanks, please give the Santa number that should be on your gift so that people can see that their gifts have arrived. Many thanks.

My Thanks :
A parcel from a very generous Santa has arrived: a wonderful Playmobil advent calendar to get our family in the mood for Christmas. I think I'm probably more excited about it than my boys Grin.
Thank you so much to the lovely person who nominated me - I am deeply, deeply touched by your kind thoughts.
And thank you so very much to my lovely Santa638. We will all enjoy your gift enormously: a perfect choice Smile. Wishing you and all your loved ones a very Merry Christmas, and a peaceful and loving 2012. Thanks

Yesterday I finished my radio-therapy treatment and, having been fully involved in that for the last 3 weeks Christmas has been the last thing on my mind.

To the very special mumsnetter (4129) a million thank you's for the vouchers. Dh got such a fright when I burst into tears on opening the post. I think his exact words were "it's the bloody phone bill isn't it" Xmas Grin

Whoever you are I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas, Thanks xxx

Xmas Sad

If you are good Santa will bring you a badge

@mcfee

Hi I offered a gift card for some one and got an acknowledgement but I've never received an e-mail with details of where to send it. I've just e-mailed [email protected] to ask you to check - can you watch out for it. Wouldn't like some one to be expecting something that they don't get!

Sorry mcfee, will have a look and get back to you.

MNHQ - Santa I have e-mailed but it says you only look at the inbox once a week!

I really thought I had sent a donation so I am a bit Xmas Sad if I have missed the boat. Wondering now if you got my nomination

chipmonkey · 02/12/2011 19:07

ThanksThanksThanks Thank you to lovely MNer 5957 for the amazon vouchers. You are so very kind and generous.
This should have been the best year of my life when dd was born but became the worst year when she died.Sad
Thanks also to whoever nominated me. It's wonderul to know people are thinking of us.

CherrysOnTheNaughtyList · 02/12/2011 19:29

i emailed too, with a little extra donation, and also still waiting for a match or address to send to. can someone get in touch please?

spiderslegs · 02/12/2011 19:43

Posted today - hope I got it all right - am convinced now I sent it to the wrong address.

Fingers crossed.

CazBX · 02/12/2011 19:47

To lovely Mner 1379 Thanks

Thank you so much for the beautiful handmade bib you've sent us. Really funky! and how did you know polka dots were my favourite? (and multicoloured!!)

When I had the email saying I'd been nominated for a gift I was quite overcome with emotion. No idea what I've done to deserve it but thank you so much whoever you are - its really quite special getting a gift from a stranger!

Thank you so so much for my Secret Santa gift that arrived today - unfortunately my over-efficient mum threw the wrapping away before I could find the number, but the box contained a game and some books for my gorgeous boys and a bouncy Santa that they love Smile.

It also included a special present for me to unwrap and a Tesco voucher Smile.

I've had such a tough year (culminating in not getting a job I really wanted today ) so to come home to such wonderful kindness from a complete stranger today is just lovely .

Thank you also to whoever it was who nominated me - I was incredibly touched and quite overwhelmed by it all.

Thank you Thanks.
