If you are A in Keighly with a DD S (7) - I sent you some vouchers. Hope they were received safely.

Don't forget to spend some on yourself! I think I may know your MN id - you usually buy and wrap something for yourself so DD thinks you get something but this year will struggle?? But you still offered to help someone else.

Thank you to puddytats who sent me a gift. I am having trouble resisting opening it.
Ive put it at the top of the tree so it is safe!
Thank you again.

Received a parcel this am from "santa"

Postman had helpfully left it outside in the rain without bothering to knock, but it was fine.

No clues as to who you are, so if you sent a parcel to S in Stockport with ds J and dd G, and wrapped your presents in lovely paper with elves on it, thank you so much the gifts for the children, theya re perfect, and thank you also for sending me a present! Would love you to "out" yourself so can thank you properly, or CAT me please. Thanks again

And I think I recieved another parcel from another Sarah, So thankyou for the lovely clothes, and the slightly singed sleeve is just fine! Oh, and the clothes smelt lovely, which washing powder do you use?

And I would like to thank M, who sent me a postal order. It has just bought some baby milk and nappies and the change was enough for some chocs for me!

threelittlegifts, that was me and you're more than welcome, I only wish it were more. I realised this morning that we forgot to put in the batteries for the car so let me know if we should post them to you.

piximon · 06/12/2006 08:45

I also need to say a really big thank you to BK and family for the gifts we received this morning. DS is Spiderman mad so he's going to be over the moon when he opens his present and DD's fave things are singing, animals and puzzles so her Old McD game couldn't be more perfect. Thank you so much again for thinking of us and and also for your note.

I sat sobbing my eyes out this morning at everyone's kindness and at the thought of all the hardwork Soapy has done to pull this off.

Nemoinapeartree · 06/12/2006 09:28

Ok have composed myself after having a little weep for the past hour...Dorrbell went at 8am and it was a parcel. When I opened it I couldnt believe what was inside..presents for both my dc and evenfor the unborn baby!!! There was also some vouchers for tescos and next so all I want to say is a huge huge gigantic thank you to M in C with P and G as it really is too much. Plus H is in some of the clothes now so thank you sooooo much....we have had a bad week this week as looks like DH may loose his job in february so you really have brightened up my week.

xmasmummy · 06/12/2006 09:40

Actually, I had a proper look this morning and there was actually £20's worth of M&S gift tokens - Thank you once again Francis, you are incredible - I have been so blessed .......

They are truley going to havea special christmas this year...THANK YOU !!!!

Paddlechick666 · 06/12/2006 10:25

my goodness, I certainly wasn't expecting another parcel which just arrived.

it's full of the most thoughtful things including some lovely wooden christmas tree decs which I love. some delicious smelling candles and some delicious looking chocolate puddings.

crackers and coasters and a beautiful handmade card.

is this ringing any (jingle) bells with anyone?

thank you so very much to J with S, M O and L who's artistry is to be admired.

no clue as to your MN name but assuming you recycled a delivery box I have snaffled your RL name & address.

promise not to stalk you but I will be sending a thank you note.

such a lovely thought to send such items. i am off to the loft to find the tree!

thank you thank you thank you

berrycherry · 06/12/2006 10:46

You are welcome PT, hope you have a good xmas, and did you manage to get to the cinema yet?

my 2 dd's are older than yours, 6 and 5, but are 16 months apart (like yours?) and I know what hard work it is when you have 2 babies to look after, although now I look back, and really miss having a baby around....a bit too past it for a 3rd though!

ColditzsTotallyAnon · 06/12/2006 10:51

You're very welcome - just glad they've arrived, I was worried they'd been intercepted (previously posted as embarrassed2askhencenamechange). Have yourself a really merry Christmas and very best wishes for 2007.

deckthehillswithboughsofmummy · 06/12/2006 10:53

I am sat here with big stupid grin on my face with a warm fluffy feeling in my heart. Huge thanks to my givers.

Lapinrose - Thank you for the nectar vouchers and the presents for dd, ds and myself. Have hidden the prezzies and wil be putting the vouchers to good use buying some treats for christmas.

AB Thankyou for the pictures your kids are beautiful. Also thank you very much for the lovely box of cookies, jelly beans, hairslides, beef jerky and the chocolates. I agree they are for adults only and children will explode if they eat them.

fluppy · 06/12/2006 10:59

If you are HS in Liverpool - just to let you know that there is a parcel on its way to you.

Miaou · 06/12/2006 11:09

Oh wow! Ohwowowowowow!!

We just got another parcel!!!

Thank you soo much scottishsanta for your lovely beautiful gifts! I opened the card and read the descriptions of what was in each one and I think you must know my kids really well! I was considering introducing dd1 to Little Women (she would love Jo) so that is a perfect gift for her. And they are all so beautifully wrapped that I couldn't bear to undo the paper to have a peek (even though you said I could!)

And thank you so much for the vouchers too - that is lovely of you! I will choose something very special with those

I am totally bowled over by your generousity - thank you sooooo much. I can't wait to see the children's faces when they open all their presents on Christmas day

plumflumppudding · 06/12/2006 11:31

plumflumppudding · 06/12/2006 11:35

Please have a big kiss from me and N and T

We'll be thinking of all you kind people over Xmas and we hope you have a great Xmas and New Year too xxxx

LadyOfThePoinsettias · 06/12/2006 11:45

postie just knocked and said i have another parcel! we are becoming great mates! lol
i knew they would be mumsnet as there is nowhere else they could be from and i was welling up as he was passing them to me. he thought i was mad i think!

a big box from a secret mrs.santa containing lots of lovely things-
thomas, brum, fimbles, tractor tom and bob videos.
3 cassettes 2 action songs and one best loved children's themetunes.
a lovely, chunky tractor, trailer, animals and fence set.
a box of 3 little animal puzzles.

and..... a little note saying:
'just a few bits and bobs that hopefully will help towards a great christmas for you all'

a few?! there was loads of stuff, more than enough!

Many thanks and hugs and kisses to you.

and also..................

a large jiffy envelope containing 2 book shaped presents and 2 little squashy presents, one of each for each of my little men.
wrapped in lovely mint green shiny paper from HelloMama and her little man.

Thank you so much to you too. I won't be peeking, they went straight into the top of the wardrobe before ds1 twigged!!

I also went out to get some bread and milk yesterday and returned to find a card from parcel force saying they tried to deliver 5 parcels whilst i was out!!
i have just rung them to arrange redelivery and know i am going to end up in tears again tomorrow when they arrive!

oh good golly. this christmas will be wonderful as all these warm fuzzy emotions flood out again when we put all the presents under the tree on christmas eve....

thanks so much xXx
