None in the post today, one yesterday, one the day before and one last week Xmas Sad Dh has two at work and one of those was for somebody who has left, he thought he'd keep it.

They've all been accidentally posted to my house. Will pop them in the post later Grin
Cheer up, loads will come at once.

whenPaschagotstuckupthechimney · 14/12/2011 13:05

I dont send them anymore, sorry.

Knownothingknowitall · 14/12/2011 13:25

My DC have got about 90 cards between them fuck sake.

Me and DH have 0!

mogs0 · 14/12/2011 14:28

I've just had my second in the post this morning. Ds has brought loads home from school though.

I have written about three so far so I can't really grumble about not receiving many Grin.

MardyPants · 14/12/2011 15:20

We've got 1 off my gran and 1 off my great aunt. Haven't written any yet though (should be doing it now oops!)

oreocrumbs · 14/12/2011 15:55

Apart from my parents we have 3! Mind you I only posted mine on monday so maybe people are like me and leaving it later?

Or maybe people don't like me - I might post myself some Xmas Grin

LydiaWickham · 14/12/2011 15:58

Only a couple here too. Sad

that said, i've just been to the post office and posted mine, so a lot of people will probably be doing the same this week...

3inABIRDsnest · 14/12/2011 16:01

We usually get quite a lot, only about 4 so far this year, and one I thought was quite nice, but when I opened it it was from wait rose Grin
Maybe people are sending fewer now, or maybe the po has screwed up?

omydarlin · 14/12/2011 16:52

whats wrong with waitrose 3inABIRDsnest just wondering- genuinely?

I have less this year so far too, I sent all mine out saturday 3rd December so I know everyone has theirs!

I posted them second class but some didnt arrive until the following Thurs/Fri ! A card I posted to Sweden on the Monday arrived there two days later!

jelliebelly · 14/12/2011 19:30

I think the post is being a bot slow. I posted letters to dcs from father Christmas over a week ago one arrived the next day the other just turned up today! Reckon all the online shopping has probably taken them by surprise!

FringeEvent · 14/12/2011 19:44

So far we've only got one, and it's from DP's gym (which he hasn't been to for months anyway).

Elfontheedge · 14/12/2011 19:51

We've only had one so far and that was off a neighbour Sad

threeolivemartini · 14/12/2011 20:24

I suspect there's nothing wrong with Waitrose, just disappointing to open what you think will be a lovely card from a friend and find an advert for smoked salmon and fruit cake.
(was also fooled by the marketing)

Maybe everyone is as disorganised as me - wrote cards 3 days ago - they are still here waiting to go to the post box as I have left them behind on my way to work twice now.

Byeckersitsapropercrimbolike · 14/12/2011 20:26

We have five and three of those are from MIL [obsessive card sender]

i dont send any cant be arsed dont see the point, 'merry christmas everyone' there ... Just saved myself a fortune!

whatstheetiquette · 14/12/2011 20:28

We have about 3 for ourselves. However, DCs have brought home over 50 between them from school!! So we look popular Grin.

Alliwantisaroomsomewhere · 14/12/2011 21:00

I have also been wondering! Well, about my cards, not yours, Kendodd. I am not too bothered about you not getting any cards, actually Xmas Grin

winterfox · 14/12/2011 21:02

doesn't 3bird mean she got a card from waitrose not a relative/friend not that she finds waitrose's cards offensive in any way Grin

i've not sent any yet either, i will next week when it's CHRISTMAS fgs Grin

omydarlin · 15/12/2011 16:37

ooooh I see Xmas Blush I was thinking for some reason Waitrose was out of favour/fashion with Mumsnetters for some reason and I hadn't read why (bit like Primar k and the child bikini saga)

Now I get it! I usuually put all my nice red /white/silver themed ones next to my tree and all the other's somewhere else but this year if i do that I will look a billy no mates!

3inABIRDsnest · 15/12/2011 19:20

Grin at omy... Yes, nothing wrong with waitrose, I just thought it was a tasteful card from a friend. The dentist usually sends one too Hmm not like anyone would display a card from their dentist, surely?!
