fortyplus, yes thats me, my ds's are 5 and 13, it might just have been caught up in the christmas post, ive noticed that some letters have been taking a few days to arrive.

StrawberrySnowflakes · 12/12/2006 18:01

JARm, did you not get both parcels???..not the dresses n that, the single item i posted separate?

JARMgotstuckupthechimney · 12/12/2006 18:09

sorry strawb, i did - its just the post office had banded them together! The coat is lovely, a little small for Jess and a little big for becky, but will do her next year i think

THANK YOU

tinytotmummy · 12/12/2006 18:57

Just wondering if m l from london with ds s 18m, received your parcel ok? Just a bit worried that it won't reach you on time.

apprehensivesanta · 12/12/2006 21:50

SS in Yeovil with M aged 6, sorry but please could you let me know if you received my parcel (sent recorded delivery last Thursday).

Hate to prompt - not looking for great waves of gratitude and florrid tributes , just would like to know if it has arrived.

Cheers

iwouldloveadollypleaseSanta · 12/12/2006 21:57

santa says go and open it NOW - the things for TJ to open on 25th are wrapped up in chrissy paper - so glad it arrived (but no dairy milk??!)

WeWishUAMerryXmasNANappyNewYr · 12/12/2006 22:12

hmmm so now is the mystery of who sent the dairy milk and with what! know know i will resist temptation and wait til 25th. i love hoarding my presents right until the end of the day cos then everyone has to sit and watch me open them whilst they have opened all theirs!!i have been known to have presents lying around 2 days after xmas and also when i was at school i usedto re wrap presents i had opened from school friends lol.

A HUGE THANK YOU to H with DC's A, E & F
Your parcel has arrived and I have now collected it from the post office, thank you sooooooo much.
Wish I had an address for you so I can send you a proper thank you.
The card from your DC is beautiful and is on my mantlepiece, please let them know the boys and I love it.
I've hidden the presents but I know that DS1 & DS2 will be so excited on Christmas morning and I'm sure DS1 will help DS2 with his selection box !!!
Thank you also for the voucher, I will enjoy buying something for them and wrapping it up.
The boys and I wish you and your family a fabulous Christmas filled with love.
Thank You again x x x

SleepInHeavenlyPesha · 12/12/2006 23:11

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I just spent over an hour writing a huge thank you to everyone who has so kindly sent to me and to soapy for organising it and I've just bloody lost it all

Sh*t

I have to go to bed now im exhausted but will try and come back tomorrow and do it all again!

BUT if you have sent to SS in Y with DD M 6 and DS N 3 then im pretty sure ive received it cos i have loads over the last week

And apprehensivesanta are you Jayne? If so yes I have received it

I have also received from A Santa Abroad (holland?), chloe and dd lucy, 'Matthews' in london, Tracey, Adam and Willow, and someone who gave no clues except it was her, her dh and dds!

Thank you all I am totally overwhelmed by just how much i have received, this will make such a huge difference to our christmas. Thank you so much

Quick Reminder

Can all the recievers please email me at [email protected]

I am organising a scrapbook of christmas as a thank you to soapbox for arranging all this for us.

The scrapbook is waiting to be filled with some gorgeous festive papers and embellishments (that another generous mumsnetter has paid for)

(I will of course keep you all completely confidential if that is your wish)

Thanks guys xxx

Another message for SantaAnn***

My brother rang last night to say that your parcels have both arrived - thank you so much! He is keeping them in a safe place for me just now and I'm hopeful that my parents can bring them back up to Scotland when they travel home just after Christmas

Thank you for your generosity - we thought we were going to have to manage with only one buggy and ds would just have to learn to walk everywhere - bit tough on a not-two-year-old!! It will make a big difference when the baby arrives

sockmonkey · 13/12/2006 10:12

To V in SW12.... Thank you so much for the vouchers! WOW It is so incredably generous of you.
We are so grateful for your help this christmas!

MerlinsBeard · 13/12/2006 10:25

I think i know who it was but if you sent a parcel to sc in stockport in a big blue DHL tote box then it was recieved this morning TAHNK YOU!! The badge making kit will be great for ds1 coz he is quite into adorning himself with stickers etc at mo! and DS2 will love the fisher price trundle truck

OverwhelmedByAllThis · 13/12/2006 10:44

Many thanks to Karen in London who sent to S with A & A in EY. Your lovely box of goodies arrived yesterday. DH has hijacked the voucher and is apparently planning a day out for us all and I am sitting looking at my little parcel, very tempted to open it (but I will be good). Oh and you must be psychic as my decorations this year are red and gold! Thank you so much for your wonderful generosity.

Also, thanks to the sender of the blue wrapped wrestling stuff, after 3 failed delivery attempts by the postman it arrived yesterday. I have no clues to your identity as DH threw the wrapping away before I could check. Many thanks whoever you are.

I wasn?t looking forward to Christmas this year at all but thanks to SaintSoapbox and the amazing generosity of Mumsnetters, I am now childishly excited and can?t wait for the 25th.

I humbly thank you all.

CranberryJelley · 13/12/2006 11:08

YorkshireLass Your parcel has just arrived.Thankyou and Santas little helper very much.

I am looking forward to Christmas day so much now. Not only will my dc have lots of presents to open, I have no idea what most of them are, as my santas have wrapped loads up.I can't remember a time since I had them that I didn't know what was in every single present they opened. The anticipation is killing me!

calebsmummy · 13/12/2006 11:12

I don't know how I managed to miss this whole thing as I would have loved to be a giver. Probably something to do with my erratic PC use. But I just wanted to say, I was reading this thread with tears in my eyes last night.

The generosity of all you mumsnetters is astounding! So touching to think that a group of virtual strangers want to do something small to help others have a better christmas. Reading the thread really was quite humbling as there are so many of you out there who would have struggled so much more without this act of kindness.

Count me in for next year!! I will definately be here.

Well done you lot

xmasmummy · 13/12/2006 11:50

Not after thanks or anything but Please, please tell me your parcel arrived safely - it's been almost 2 weeks and I'll need to give the PO some grief if you haven't got it yet - it's quite a big box from SW in S. Gloucestershire
