I thought I had better start a new thread in case the old one falls over at 1000 posts.

First of all I would like to say a big thank you to all those who have helped make this a huge success Thanks to all of you, life will be a little bit easier for some of our MNetters this year!

Firstly all of the MNetters - without you this would only have been a pipe dream! Givers and receivers - all take a bow

Then the corporates:
GLTC - for going well beyond the call of duty
Hazell -www.verko.co.uk- for her most generous offer of christmas trees - I hope you join in and make some new friends here
Great expectations - a lovely company with wonderful fairtraded toys and again help beyond what was expected.
LCC - to Jaysmummy for her crafty goodies and warm hearted support
www.thesweetiestop.co.uk - for their generous support

And of course it goes almost without saying, MNHQ!

**

How it works:

You email me:

[email protected]

as a giver or receiver. If a receiver I will ask for a bit more information to find a good match for you. If a giver I will find someone for you to send your gift to.

All matches to be done by 30 November (did I really promise that)

All gifts to be posted by 15 December (at the latest).

thanks soapy! for sorting that for me! xxx

Soapy I have been in touch with A in France and we agreed that I was going to send the parcel to her parents in the UK (it will get to A and the children in time for Christmas) - however I haven't heard back with the UK address. I have her new address in France and can send there if necessary - but obviously sending to UK is easier

ISawTortoiseKissingSantaClaus · 01/12/2006 22:55

Parcel went today to S-L R with DD's A and T.
Should be with you Mon/Tues but i think you need to be in to recieve it.

fussymummy · 01/12/2006 23:18

Pixiefish · 01/12/2006 23:44

Mine was a totally secret santa lol. I totally forgot any mention of a card- ah well, I know the person has recieved it cos I've seen them on the thank you thread

SaintGeorge · 01/12/2006 23:46

Mhamai - if you want to report your own post and get it deleted now, you can use me as a postbox if you want. My email address is all over this site so I don't mind you using it and I can forward on to you 'cos are already in my address book.

I think that makes sense lol!

PinkTinsel · 01/12/2006 23:49

A parcel has gone for you this morning.

Hope you like it when it arrives!

BigCookLittleCook · 02/12/2006 13:34

Hello hello. So excited with all this Christmas spirit. EC in Somerset with 4 DC's, I sent your voucher a couple of days ago, did special delivery as so worried it would go astray. Felt bad after sending as wanted to sneak a little something exciting in for you, but then thought you would prob rather just get it soon so you knew where you were with shopping etc. Really hope you have a lovely Christmas.

ISawTortoiseKissingSantaClaus · 02/12/2006 15:59

Thank you BigCookLittleCook. I did leave a message on the thank you thread about the voucher.It was very kind of you.
Will be spending it on monday.
