Mumsnet Christmas Appeal: the thank you thread II

[RowanMumsnet]

Hello

Follow-on thread from this one.

To quote SecretSantaSandyMumsnet:

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!

it would fit me, yes LOL, we'll see! x

hi im MN094 just to let my ss nothing has turned up did not want to think id got the gift and not said anything will be a xtra surprise after xmas .

Just checking in to see if my parcel to MN143 has arrived. It was posted a week ago to a mumsnetter in London. I have looked through this thread and the end of the last one...

Not looking for thanks but hope it arrived.

I was MN220 I think and I was so touched and overwhelmed when I got my gift. Thank you so much, whoever you are. I can't believe the generosity.
I hope you have a very merry Christmas and the happiest of years in 2013. In fact I wish that for all of us.
Merry Christmas xx

Just wanted to pop on and thank Secret Santas 091 properly now that the kids have opened their gifts.

I have one very excited DD...or maybe a stray bear from the zoo... she is absolutely chuffed with her hat/scarf thingy!

DS has been happily colouring in his magic painting book too.

And wow - I have a lovely new bag!

We feel very very spoilt today.

Last night I put their gifts under the tree. I had gotten them 3 each and I know it's not about the amount but I must admit that I felt a little sad at the little pile. But adding the wonderful secret santa gifts really made it look more like a normal christmas.

You, and every secret santa here have done a wonderful wonderful thing. It really is the thought. The biggest gift we've had this year has been kindness. And It's been the best christmas for it.

Happy Christmas all xxx

AddictedToCrunchies

Thank you so much for your beautiful, thoughtful and lovely gifts!

DS will be wearing the outfit to my parents today for Christmas dinner - it fits him perfectly and he looks adorable in it!

I love my scarf and gloves (also getting a Christmas outing today) and I will demolish the chocs and biscuits later on

I hope you and your family have a wonderful day..you brought a tear to my eye with your wonderfulness x

Just wanted to pop on and say a big thank you to secret Santa MN010 . You are so kind. DS looked very snug in his snow suit and I will enjoy spending my voucher. The sleep suits are lovely too. Such kindness from a stranger is quite overwhelming :) Thankyou again xx

Thank you MN179 for the gorgeous Hotel Chocolat chocolates (new experience) and the book! I shall enjoy both and despite my extensive library, I don't (didn't!) have that one in it :)

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

A thank you once again from MN159, to whoever nominated me (why?) and to whoever donated ... I hope they - and all of you - are having a wonderful Christmas, and that 2013 brings good things for all.

Celebmum - Nemo says thank you VERY much for his Cars and his Duplo!! Both are fantastic and he LOVES the fact that the Cars have little suckers on! Extra bath time fun for sure!

I can't thank you enough, I hope that you're all having a nice a day as we are, Nemo is better than he was, still not well but better, so it's nice to see him playing today, for the first time in what feels like weeks.......

Merry Christmas lovely lady,

Mouseface (MN127) xx xx

I'm MN186 And just want to repeat what swallow just said. Happy christmas everyone.

Sorry, I mean what sprouts just said. ...Christmas brain alert!

I'm MN145.

And I'm also utterly, utterly mortified

DP took delivery of your parcel a few days ago, while I was out. Unfortunately he thought it was from his adult DD to me/us, so he saved it up until today, when family presents are given out! (In his defence, he didn't know about the MN Secret Santa!)

So ... thank you so, so much for your lovely gifts. I'm absolutely overwhelmed. How amazingly kind of you. Luxury chocs, fab skincare stuff and a gift voucher - plus a present for my step-grand daughter. You are too, too kind. Thank you

I hope you have had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you a Happy New Year.

Ooops, just looked at your note with the gift voucher - of course I will buy clothes for DSGD with it!!!

I am SS145, so glad you got it ok! Spend the voucher on whatever you fancy, think the sale is meant to be good this year!

Merry Christmas!

121 just popping by again to say a massive thank you for Dds fabulous vtech mirror. She loves it

Happy Christmas one and all

Just bobbing in to say Merry Christmas.
For many of us here at MNHQ, this thread makes our Christmas too. You're all lovely lovely people

Wishing you all the best for 2013.

Santa MN202 here. Hope your gift arrived ok. Sorry it wasn't a lot. Hope you've had a lovely Christmas :)

Mn042 - hope your voucher arrived and you had a merry Christmas

This is a message for Lattelady - I think I am the Secret Santa who sent you the first (rattling) package. I missed it in the first thread because you'd put MN 11 instead of 110. Not to worry, just glad that I found you and that the parcel arrived ok, was worried that it hadn't! Hope you have had a wonderful Christmas Day, and that you liked the pressie once you'd managed to get into it!

Lots of love from SS110.

Huge apologies to also to both my nominator and the lovely person who responded.

Our address here?s temporary and there?s been a slight misunderstanding about mail, and I've just been told it?s been sitting in a pile of assumed to be Christmas cards for a week.

I?m not sure which number is the code? There?s not a number in the address but some around the bar code. I think it's S22 (if that?s not it then 177? There isn't a number with MN before it)
You've included the message From one ?person in X area? to another! and I really hope you see this and can identify yourself.

We've just opened presents and cards here and there it was a wonderful surprise as things have been all over the place here and I didn't know about the nomination until after the closing date and didn't get the message telling me to send details anyway until late either, so wasn't at all sure it would happen and other events pushed it from my mind.

I can?t tell you how much it means, not only the voucher which is hugely appreciated, and very kind of you, but also the card and the knowledge someone out there wanted to do this. It really means a great deal.

I hope you?re having a lovely Christmas, I've been making it for everyone else, as you do, but you've really made mine.

SECRET SANTA MN 099

DS opened your gift this morning and was delighted
He's covered several huge sheets of paper with dinosaur stamps already. I'm going to teach him the card game later, he's already made me read him the names of most if the dinosaurs.

I've already posted a thank you on the first Secret Santa thread, I hope you saw it, but wanted to post again and tell you how much he loved it.
Thank you and merry Christmas to you and yours!
Love, Jacks

Do all the Secret Santas have a different number? I'm having an identity crisis because JugsMcGee says she's MN202 too .

Oh well, my recipient has received her parcel so it doesn't really matter if I have a twin!
