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!

To sender of gifts for MN097:
Thank you for the package - it arrived today.

The contents had obviously been chosen -and wrapped- with care; very kind of you.
The clothes for DS will be great for spring and DD is wearing the cardigan from hers now (she's rather dinky so sleeves folded up... but she couldn't wait and won't let me take it off...!)
I am crazily pleased about the thought of making paper chains with DS with the set - and I am going to try and get the colouring pages photocopied so they can go their hardest over Christmas (and I can save the master copies for next year, ha ha, thrifty).
All in all 2012 has been very rather rubbish and we have had a few of months of poorliness too - so your thoughtful parcel was much appreciated.
Thank you again - and a very Happy Christmas to you & yours too [ grin ] the card will go up with the others too

Oh and a thank you too, to the person who nominated me. That, in itself, was lovely! I was and all at once!

fellow Mumsnetter MN134:

Hope this is okay to post this.

I have bought gifts for both children but the company have just emailed me to say they sent them out in different parcels . So my arrive different days. But you should receive two parcels and also one that am posting tomorrow. Please post here if they don't all arrive

I sent my parcel off today after a very fun festive day out shopping. I enjoyed choosing the gifts and have definitely got a fuzzy feeling now

I really hope I've got it right. I'm a bit nervous!

I have sent my donation off today :-)

My parcel went off today-hope it arrives safely :)

Posted my 3 parcels today....hurrah!

But in my ==overexcitement-- enthusiasm, I've made a bit of a schoolgirl error, and signed my xmas cards from Fillybuster

Sorry!! I hope whoever receives the parcels doesn't mind too much?

I received a lovely voucher in the post today, thank you to my Nominator and thank you to my Donator

It has made me feel loved, thanks very very very much.

I will be on the sending end next Christmas and spreading the love. You are not just words on a screen today. You will be prayed for and thought about with gratefulness tonight and at Christmas. Thanks again!

Hope this is ok to post here,
I was nominated and had a lovely email from MNHQ asking for more details, while I give my heartfelt thanks to who ever nominated me I hope you will understand that I felt there were more deserving people then I and so I replied to MNHQ saying just that.
I hope I have not offended anyone in turning down a secret sants, and I wish you all a lovely Christmas x

I'm a bit worried. I had a gift to donate but handed it into our local charity shop instead. Then I got a person to send gifts to but am a bit skint now. I hope a small gift is OK. frets

I did that too MrsDeVere ! It does feel a bit stalkerish but I didn't want to get a voucher that wouldn't have been any good.

That's not stalkerish it's really thoughtful!

MN028 you've just summed up exactly what this is all about

How do you know where they live?

Feck. Ignore that post! D'oh!

Some people were a bit bashful, so we sat on them until they coughed up their details.

One or two couldn't be persuaded, though. However hard we tried.

I was a stubborn one :o

I would also like to thank whoever nominated me but it would have been wholly inappropriate for me to cough up my details :)

Soupy! You? Stubborn ?

Posted my parcel today and am also ridiculously pleased and touched and bashful that I was nominated . MN has seen me through some difficult times this year and it is so lovely to send a parcel and share the lurve .

Aww Trumpton Big squidge for you. You totally deserve it. X

MrsDeVere me three!!!
I also looked into a local theatres thinking about sending theatre tokens for panto tickets but alas, nothing local enough and as I don't know if my recipient drives!

I'm off to the shops tomorrow

My recipient has posted a message.

Now a snotty mess so thanks for that

I love this Santa thing. Am sooooo going to do it next year.

Merry Christmas all!!

MrsDV - me too!!

I have my Xmas shopping day on Monday from work, so will be getting all the bits and bobs together to go with my parcel so I can post middle of the week.

Demented
I was really disorganised this year, and didn't get around to offering to send a gift. If MNHQ are ok with you sending the details, I would be glad to send an extra present to your recipient.

But don't feel bad about sending a small thing - it is the thought that counts.
