I'm so relieved that there's a message on here to say the parcel I sent arrived, as I forgot to get a proof of posting

TjacksonpfcSanta · 02/12/2006 16:07

tjacksonpfc glad it all arrived safely - as I said, we can't have Christmas without Matchmakers, though I never think of buying them the rest of the year.

i am truley taken aback, wow i have stayed clear of these christmas threads because i have been dreading the approach of christmas.

So when the postman came today with a package i opened it up wondered why someone was sending me a barbie dvd, realised it had mumsnet onit and asumed someone had gotten my address mixed up somehow with another mumsnetter, untill my very own christmas fairy(pecka) explained how she had nominated me.
I would just like to say how truley grateful i am for someone who i dont know to take the time out of their own life for my daughter it is quite amazing.I dont know who sent it but THANKYOU with all my heart (little lolliepops will be over the moon thanxs)
I pledge when i have finished my degree and have a job i will do this for someone as it makes you feel so good x x

ISawTortoiseKissingSantaClaus · 02/12/2006 19:21

Wow im so pleased and amazed to get another gift in the post.
Thank you Robinia. I think my DS's are going to love the test tube aliens.
They wanted to know what was in it so i just said it has codename Mumsnet on it so it must be a special gift for christmas.Big from them.

HappySender · 02/12/2006 19:36

ScoobyDoo... so glad the parcel arrived safely. I had no idea who I was sending to, just names and ages of your children. My 2, age 9 and 3, loved choosing presents for your children, and making cards for them too. It has helped them understand how nice it is to give.
I hope you have a truely lovely Christmas. Will raise a small glass to you on Christmas Day

moonpiesanta · 02/12/2006 20:33

Moonpie, I hope you have taken up Soapys offer on Christmas tree and put vouchers to another use - glad they arrived safely.
Have a fantastic christmas

nemosanta · 02/12/2006 20:39

Have a fantastic Christmas

colditzsanta · 02/12/2006 20:49

Colditz, glad the vouchers arrived and that they will be put to good use. Feeling all happy now. Have a fantastic Christmas.

SantasFattymumma · 02/12/2006 22:48

OMG

sorry but i just cannot beleive what my dad has just dropped round.

I have been out all day so when mum popped in to collect dd's pushchair (she was watching them) she took the "undelivered" card and sent dad to collect it. well he has just dropped off two huge parcels and i am astounded.

yet again i am blubbing like a some neurotic bint, my dad has juat seen me open the box and is still confused as to why strangers would be sending me such wonderfull gifts for no apparant reason, and i am officially speechless.

So to the anonymous giver and WWW who sent to M and Family in Crawley.........i absolutly love you and would really love for you to email me so that i can thank you properly, i really am overwhelmed at your kindness and i just cannot begin to get my head round the fact that this year will be fantastic after all.

I will be keeping your cards ( they are beautifully made) to show my kids every year as we make shoeboxes for other children, and explain how the kindness of strangers helped them have a great christmas.

im rambling again, sorry.
thank you, thank you, thank you.

Moonpie · 02/12/2006 22:55

Soapy, is there a thread somewhere about trees?

And I love how my santa has signed on as Moonpie Santa! That's lovely!

Soapythelistmaker · 02/12/2006 23:01

No - just send me an email if you want one and I'll add you to the list

Hope you all enjoy your xmas charliecat. You missed the clues though!

charliecat · 03/12/2006 10:00

I looked for clues I have been reading this thinking Hmmm how does everyone else know????

mustrunmorenakedthroughthesnow · 03/12/2006 10:04

My receiver seems to have missed my clues too, or maybe she's not as nosy and devious as me

PinkTinsel · 03/12/2006 10:11

hmmm, i have inklings about 2 of my givers but not saying anything as it would be awful to personally thank the wrong person, lol!

mustrunmorenakedthroughthesnow · 03/12/2006 14:20

Well, it def wasnt me who gave to you, as I know your address
