Another year of spreadsheets and carols.
You wonderful lot you, gorn and done it again.

It's always lovely for the donator to know their parcel has arrived, so if you've had a Christmas Appeal gift this year and you'd like to use your unique MNcode to pop on this thread to say thank you, now's your chance.

We'd like to start you all off by being the first to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone who's taken part. You're all brilliant!

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

Merry Christmas!

Xmas2013MN6233 I hope that mine is one that has arrived. It's a pretty battered Amazon box with duct tape. . Nothing is wrapped inside as I wasn't sure what to do. It's lots of small things for the children as my budget didn't stretch too far this year xx I hope you have an enjoyable Christmas. There was a card attached too but the lady in the post office taped it under the address label on the box, so it's there If you want a look ( basically says the same as this )

Xmas2013MN6233 · 14/12/2013 11:00

I have it - its not opened, thank you so much, I would have been happy with a packet of sweets, I am sure it is all wonderful.

Its amazing to be so thought of - Christmas here is all me - DH does the housework, and it is lovely to have some surprises.

Xmas2013MN6233 · 14/12/2013 11:09

I have just reserved a place via Crisis for a homeless person - crisis as our familys way of paying it forward - I am overwhelmed by all your generosity.

Thank you again.

Dear Xmas2013SantaA6531

Thank you so, so much for the vouchers. I feel all teary and glowy. At the end of a really painful year it's so lovely to receive this, thank you for your generosity. I will use them to buy the dc something - ds wants a magic set and dd a watch so it will be perfect. Thank you again for your gift and Merry Christmas! Xmas Smile Thanks

I'm hoping that Xmas2013MN9709 got their parcel as I posted it a couple of weeks ago. Its possible that you arent able to post for whatever reason but I hope that you have a very happy Christmas.

MN6086 · 14/12/2013 14:12

Thank you so much for my voucher. how lovely to be able to treat myself to a wee something.
Made my day.

Xmas2013SantaA5305 · 14/12/2013 14:17

Xmas2013MN5305 I posted a package for you today, hopefully it will arrive Wed or Thur next week.

Xmas2013SantaB8196 · 14/12/2013 14:20

Yay Xmas2013MN8196 glad it arrived ok! And make sure you do spend some of it on yourself Xmas Smile

Xmas2013MN9413 · 14/12/2013 14:39

Thank you my Santa A9413.

Your parcel arrived today, I'd started to irrationally fear that I'd been forgotten, because sometimes in real life, I feel a little overlooked and taken for granted. That's clearly not the case! Lovely tokens for goodies for the teenagers and a HUGE box of posh chocolates that I will try to keep for myself and snarl at the teenagers if they dare to approach...but will end up sharing, because Christmas is about sharing.

You are very kind and I'm starting to feel a bit more xmassy! Xmas Grin

Xmas2013SantaMN6531

I am glad that your vouchers arrived safely and that you have something in mind for your DC to buy with them.

I wish you a Merry Christmas.

I was a nominee last year and it was lovely to receive a gift from somebody after a really crap year.

xx

Xmas2013MN6539 · 14/12/2013 18:41

Thank you so very much Xmas2013SANTA6539 for my lovely gift that arrived this morning.

I am utterly overwhelmed by your kindness and generosity.

I am humbled.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart Thanks

Xmas2013SantaA8871 · 14/12/2013 18:52

Just wanted to flag to Xmas2013MN8871 that some stuff is finally underway to you, I am afraid it will arrive in bits and pieces as some is coming from amazon and some direct so I hope the whole delivery thing won't be too painful! Really sorry it is so late, I just didn't clock that the matches had gone out.

Xmas2013SantaA8871 · 14/12/2013 18:54

Oh and if you are reading none of the stuff for the children is wrapped as wanted you to be able to edit if you wanted to. If it's wrapped it is for you!

Dysgu · 14/12/2013 19:25

I posted parcels today but I don't know how to name change?! Can anyone help please?

Xmas2013SantaA4015 · 14/12/2013 19:30

Just wanted to say to Xmas2013MNA4015 that I sent you something this morning - but I have forgotten the A in the secret code name! I am sure it will still get to you.... It should arrive in the middle of next week, I hope. Merry Christmas!

Xmas2013MN7256 · 14/12/2013 19:36

To Xmas2013SantaA7256 (hope I got that right!)

Thank you thank you thank you for the card and voucher! It made my day when it arrived today and I'm grinning like a Cheshire Cat :o

I'm not entirely sure what to do with it - it's rare to have a voucher to spend IYSWIM! Thinking maybe a game to enjoy all together?

Thanks again Thanks :) xx

Xmas2013MN3686 · 14/12/2013 20:06

Hi Xmas2013Santa3686 thank you so much for my voucher.
The post man caught me off guard with it on my way to the supermarket this lunch time.
It means I can get a few extra presents for baby DD that I'd been eyeing up but couldn't justify buying.
It really is wonderful and means so much to me that someone I don't know could be so kind.
Thank you again xxx

Xmas2013MN8871 · 14/12/2013 20:47

Santa8871, thanks for letting me know. Don't worry about the timings as it doesn't feel late to me & amazon are pretty quick!
I'm just surprised (& very grateful) to be nominated.

Xmas2013MN9136 · 14/12/2013 21:24

Dear Xmas2013SantaA9136,

Your parcel arrived today and I am absolutely blown away by your generosity! Thank you so much as it just made my day opening that parcel and the children will absolutely love the gifts as I do mine.

I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas. With love from MN9136 and family :)

Xmas2013MN9136 · 14/12/2013 21:31

Also, to the poster who has sent a present for my DD, there was no Santa number on it, so if you have sent my DD a present wrapped in red paper with gold writing, thank you so much too :)

Xmas2013SantaB3686 · 14/12/2013 21:46

Xmas2013MN3686

Phew - I'm so glad the voucher is okay. I really wanted to actually get a physical present for you/your DD but I'm afraid life is completely hectic at the moment and I never got the chance and then I was worried that I'd not even get that sent to you in time so I panicked! Blush

(And come along to the MN meet up next month!) Grin

SantaA9413 · 14/12/2013 21:49

Glad your parcel arrived !
Sorry it was a bit tardy , all of a sudden it was mid December - don't know where the days have gone ! Xmas Blush
Have a great Christmas !

Xmas2013SantaA7270 · 14/12/2013 22:06

Xmas2013MN7270

So glad your DC liked their gifts - I had great fun choosing them! There is also something in the post for you alone, was posted first class on Thursday night :)
