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

I've just found this thread

I received a sains voucher last week from my mn but I didn't know how it all worked - and I've been on mn as blondes for 4/5yrs Blush

I don't go on chat that much and obv missed the original thread or I would have brought a pressie and contributed :(

I dont have a number but rem seeing one and wondered what it was for - god I am so blonde

I did put a thank you on chat last week - but again many thanks

I'm very touched that someone nominated me - I have had a hard 8mths but so have many on Here - who I'm sure are more deserving then me - but thank you very much :)

And yet another thank you for my blanket - def a wooly cuddle of love and I love snuggling in it xxx

i am back again and my lovely secert santa is number 113107. not sure what is in the box you sentfrom Lush but our kitten loves nothing more than trying to get into it. the sweet smell is amazing. this morning a wonderful voucher frpm amazon arrived as well. it has just clicked that both presents are from you. if i am honest i have had many sleepless nights thinking i will not have money for presents this year for my 10 year old. i have suffered from bad depression and christmas has really creeped up on me. but he is now on coundown of what father christmas will bring him. it is so kind of you to send this voucher and i will spend it wisely and get him a couple of the toys he has asked for, i am thinking to get a DVD we can watch together over christmas. thank you , thank you, thank you - it realyl is a wonderful thing to do for us x x x

marking place as mine sent off Friday Xmas Grin

TheHappyCamper · 05/12/2011 18:19

I'd like to say a massive thank you to secret santa number 4219. Your parcel actually arrived on saturday when we were out so I had to call at the sorting office today with my "To the Mumsnetter of the house" card Xmas Grin. The postman was very curious!

Inside were some absolutely perfect presents for DD - I know she'll especially love the fluffy Disney earmuffs and purse Xmas Smile. You are very kind and generous to give such lovely gifts to someone you don't know.

I don't have a clue why I was nominated though Xmas Confused so if you nomimated me - thank you as well! We're certainly not as badly off as many on here, and I've sobbed reading what some people have to go through Sad. I guess we are currently on cycle number 21 of TTC #2 which isn't much fun as we both thought I'd be pg by Chrismas 2010 and now it seems I'm not even going to be pg by Chrismas 2011. Maybe that's why?

Anyway, a really really really big thank you - you have well and truly made my day Xmas Smile

Merry Christmas everyone x

MOSagain · 05/12/2011 18:34

Xmas Grin that was quick! So pleased you think your DD would like the earmuffs. DD came shopping with me when her school was shut due to strikes and she convinced me that we HAD to buy them and of course she needed some too Wink
Really hope that you all have a fabulous christmas and will keep my fingers crossed for you for happy news in the new year x

Arse! Forgot to namechange in my excitement Blush

jetzombie · 05/12/2011 20:00

Mumsnet HELP!
I am an idiot, its official Blush
I have stupidly accidentally deleted the email sent to me with my lovely mumsnetters details so I have gifts ready to send but no address to send it to and I am in a panic. I have e-mailed but am worried that no one will see it until it's too late and a lovely mumsnetter will get nothing Sad
Please can you send me the e-mail with all the details again. Sorry for being such an utter twit Xmas Blush
Sorry to everyone else for having to see this on a thank you thread.

Olivia. Do you volunteer for all the shit late night shifts or have you done something really bad and are doing penance?

NormaSparklerFlashBangAhhh · 05/12/2011 21:57

I am hoping for a very interesting answer ;)

ChaosTrulyReigns · 05/12/2011 22:00

Norma.

I think they play ShortStraw with Twiglets.

Humancatapult glad it arrived ok! The pleasure is all mine, I had fun choosing it and hope you like it. Xmas Grin

I love this thread...makes me feel all smiley and warm inside and really Christmassy!

Happy Christmas to all the secret santas, recipients and not forgetting Rebeccamumsnet, who is probably desperately in need of a Christmas tipple after sorting all this out so efficiently!
