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!

Anybody who was nominated or donated will have had a PM from MNHQ with the details - so check your inbox - and you will also have a nickname reserved for you which has your Christmas name/number in it, in your dropdown list of nicknames

So glad it arrived safely-I sent it recorded just in case. Post on a Sunday-brilliant! Xmas Grin

Happy Christmas to you and your family xxxx Xmas Smile

Hi MN8586, that's a great coincidence that I searched for messages from you a few minutes after you posted (then it has taken me 15 mins to change my username!) I didn't manage to send your parcel till the end of last week sorry, a combination of being really busy and being in denial about how close Christmas is. I have sent it using parcel force, just checked the tracking and it says that it is on the van ready for delivery, so hopefully it will be with you tomorrow. I hope that you have a great Christmas

Woolfy, if you pop your Secret Santa name in your message, your sender will be able to see it too - Donors are not told names.

Ahhhhhh, makes sense now - sorry! :)

Xmas2013SantaA4407 · 15/12/2013 14:51

Just a quick note to Xmas2013MN4407 that your parcel is on the way-posted 1st class yesterday so I hope it arrives soon. It's later than I had intended but I hope it's ok!

I know I said I was going to wait until Christmas Day to open my gift - but I'm too impatient for that so I opened it today! Suffice to say I am incredibly stunned and humbled by your amazing generosity towards somebody you have never met. I am going to use the voucher to treat me and DS to some lovely Christmas treats and also to stock up on essentials, which will help us out massively. I cannot thank you or my nominator enough Thanks

XMAS2013MN6357 · 15/12/2013 18:48

I too am concerned that someone will think they have not been thanked. But nothing so far has been received. I am happy just to of been nominated , for what reason I have no knowledge

Xmas2013SantaA6510 · 15/12/2013 19:11

I forgot to say in my card, that I have sent you gifts with paper, so that you can wrap as you choose! Please don't think that you have to wait until Christmas day until you open the box!

I hope you enjoy both opening it and also wrapping the bits and pieces. The parcel was posted on Friday, so hopefully you should get it some time next week.

Happy Christmas! I loved shopping for you and your family. xxx

Xmas2013MN8066 · 15/12/2013 21:02

Thank you to whoever nominated me - it was really kind of you and totally unexpected.
To my donator- thank you very much for your message I will keep an eye and ear open for a knock on the door and will let you know as soon as your lovely Christmas parcel arrives.

Happy Christmas to everyone x Xmas Smile

Your package is on its way or should be with you now. Completely forgot to put a message in! Sorry it isn't very exciting!

Xmas2013MN1953 · 15/12/2013 21:44

A thank you from me to Xmas2013SantaC1953.

Your gift token arrived yesterday. Thank you so much for your kindness. I shall enjoy spending it.

Xmas2013SantaB7844 · 15/12/2013 21:47

Message to Xmas2013MN7844. Sorry that you haven't had a parcel from me yet. I now have it sorted and it should arrive later this week.

JaquelineHyde · 15/12/2013 22:50

Can I just point out that I have been me for about 5-6yrs now and have at no point been known as HanneHolm.

Sorry just wanted to make that clear for anyone who knows me, I don't want anyone thinking me and HanneHolm are the same person it could get quite confusing. Xmas Smile

As you were.

Xmas2013MN7213 · 15/12/2013 23:14

Big thank you to MNHQ for organising this and to M&S who sent the parcel. The DCs especially loved the new baubles and enjoyed decorating the tree this weekend.

Thank you to the person who nominated me. You have been a great friend through this last tough year. I only hope I have less to moan to you about next year Xmas Grin

BellaVita · 16/12/2013 06:54

And I thought Jaq that was you ^ up there Shock. How odd that they think they had your name.

CheckpointCharlie · 16/12/2013 09:51

Wondering if MN9175 had received anything yet! DH posted it for me the week before last but am now worried it hasn't arrived. Fingers crossed!

Xmas2013SantaA7938 · 16/12/2013 10:12

Posted a parcel last week for you, Xmas2013MN7938, do pop on here somewhen and let me know you received it ok?

Having read the comments about the helpful folk at some POs, I'm worrying that they might not let you have it, if it got returned to the sorting office, as I just addressed it to 'The MumsNetter of the House' and no return address. Show them this thread, if they give you any grief Xmas Smile

Xmas2013SantaB2976 · 16/12/2013 10:27

To Xmas2013MN2976

I hope the gifts are suitable for your boys, I have popped something (very small) in the post for you today- should have been in the parcel, but I might have accidentally eaten it Xmas Blush
Don't get too excited, it's very boring.

Merry Christmas.

Xmas2013SantaB8275 · 16/12/2013 11:09

Hello Xmas2013MN8275! Your little Christmas bundle is now on it's way so keep an ear out for the postman as it won't fit through the letter box Smile

Xmas2013SantaA7877 · 16/12/2013 11:11

Xmas2013MN7877 Hope my package arrived safely, it was posted at the beginning of last week. Xmas Smile
