Mumsnet Christmas Appeal: the thank you thread

[SandyMumsnet]

So the spreadsheets have been completed, the matches have gone out, all is done.

We're all waiting with bated breath. If you're a recipient and you'd like to pop back on here when your gift arrives to thank your donor then do remember to look out for your MN code which will have been included in the address on the packaging and include it in your post. The person who sent the gift will then be able to know it's you.

If anyone has any questions about anything to do with the Mumsnet Christmas Appeal then do please email [email protected].

Ho Ho Ho!

Recipient MN044, your gifts are all ready to post but as it's a big-ish box I'm debating between using Royal Mail or a courier. Either way I should be posting out tomorrow or Tuesday.

I'm the sister of MN023 and have just had a call asking me to post this. I didn't realise her internet wasn't working.

Dear Father Christmas MN023

I was really overwhelmed by the lovely gifts I received a few days ago. I?ve had computer problems and haven?t been able to come on here. I?ve been dying to come on to say thank you.

All of the presents were lovely. Obviously the children haven?t seen them yet but the nail varnish collections are perfect for my teenage daughter, the Star Trek game will be loved by my son. I can?t wait for him to open it. It?s almost as though you know them! The outfit is beautiful for the baby and I hope the little toy will keep her amused during Christmas lunch! As for the 4 year old?s gifts, there was an amazing collection of presents for him and he?ll be bowled over by them!

Thank you so much for helping to make Christmas special for them and for me, too. It will be so lovely for me to have something to open on Christmas Day.

I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas together."

Eeeek! I've lost the email with the address of my mumsnetter! Can you send it to me again MNHQ?

Clementine, report your post otherwise they may not see it, or email [email protected]

Posted to MN218 last Wednesday so hoping it has arrived safely - would hate the recipient to be wondering whether anything will be sent.

MN 066, your parcel will be sent this week.

OCome You're welcome.

MN099 your parcel should be with you at the end of the week

I won't name change either...am still in shock at being nominated. Advance thanks to my secret Santa

SantaFi

Thank you again.

It looks really festive under our tree now.

I told the dcs about their presents this evening and they all are soooo excited.

Ds1 asked if we could send you something back and I had to explain the whole Secret Santa thing and that as a result, I don't actually know who you are. So, he told me to come back and make sure you know how happy you have made him and that he wishes you and your family a very Merry Christmas ... couldn't have said it better myself.

MN215... a small package will be in the post to you tomorrow.

It will allow you to go out and get something suitable for your DS (Argos voucher, really hope there's one near you). I'm sorry, I saw loads of lovely things for him but the cost of posting them was crazy.

There's a little something in the box for you too, no peeking :)

Hooray-I have had a wonderful message to say that the parcel arrived safely-great relief :)

I have had a card today to say that someone tried to deliver a package to 'The Mumsnetter of the House'! Will not be able to pick it up for a few days, but I will be here as soon as I have collected it to register it/thank my donor
