Hi there,

It has been so lovely playing Santa, I've spent the last few weeks knee deep in spreadsheets.

All is running smoothly and a mail will be going out next week. We've just one or two things to tie up

Bah Humbug

Hi Binfull
My head may have just exploded with that query! Very kind thought though.

It's all about keeping it anonymous, so as heartwarming as a personal nomination is, we need to keep the recipients names a secret.

Next week each donor will be sent the code and address (but not the name) of the MNer we have matched them to.

Ho Ho Ho!

Hi,

Actually a handful did, with some heartwarming reasons, but as I said it's not something we can see through.

Even so, the Xmas Appeal is such a brilliant thing to be involved in, and certainly a privilege to sort out. Matching everyone up has been a challenge, but a complete joy. Smile

Santa's coming to town!

It's done, all the mails have been sent.

Santa Claus is coming to town.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

@IShallCallYouSquishy

Umm...what if you can't quite remember what you offered to donate? Blush

Mail Santa.Claus, he's bound to know!
Seriously, we'll drop you a line.

@BartimaeusNeedsMoreSleep

Question - do the presents need to be giftwrapped? Or do we leave that to the MNer receiving?

Good question!

Lovely if you can. Fine if you can't.

Do put a note in to say what you've sent. Or perhaps send it with wrapping paper for MNer to wrap herself.

@christmaspuddingpippin

Sorry silly question but this is the first time I have done this and want to make sure I get it right.In my email under special requirements it says Ds 1, does this mean 1 ds or that they have a ds who is 1

I would read it as a DS who is 1. But completely get your confusion!

@cocoachannel

Hi Sandy. Should we put Mumsnet Towers as the senders' address in case of losses. My address doesn't seem quite right so will google the postcode but want to add a sender address just in case!

Hi Coco, sounds good to me!

Argh. I think I said voucher for wherever, so do we just get the mumsnetter a voucher, or dd and mum something? Argh help I'm so worried someone will get a voucher and be "yeah, fab, thanks for that" Confused
