E near Mold - have you had your gift card yet? I'm fretting that it won't get there. I phoned Tourist Info to ask what shops there are in Mold and from what they told me I thought the best bet was a Woolies voucher - then you can choose whatever they'd like.

A message for GH in E with J, E & L: I have sent your parcel today, it should reach you tomorrow.
DD says I have to tell you that she was Santa's helper!
Merry Christmas x

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

calebsmummy- what do you have to give? there are still people who could use some things- flutturkey was meant to be a giver this year but had to pull out as she lost her job. i have a parcel for her being picked up today and if you have suitable items im sure she would love them if you still want to do it xxx

Your parcel has been picked up! The guy said it's a 24hr delivery. So you should have it by this time tomorrow. I hope you like it.

We didn't put a card in but wish you all the best Christmas ever. It's all from Santa and is ready to go under the tree.

I would love to contribute xmasmummy. How do I do it? If you could e-mail me details of Flutturkey at bex at peerings dot net, that would be great!

I have just run a search and discovered (if nothing else) tat Flutturkey's son is only 1. My 2 boys are 2 and 4 so this is perfect. I am sure I have something to give!

Calebsmummy - could you email me please on

Wow that there are still offers of help coming in.

I am still stunned at what has been sent to me. I keep peeking in at my stash of goodies and gettig all excited.
This time a couple of weeks back i was dreading christmas but now i am all excited at the thought of watching them open their pressies.

you guys are amazing

calebsmummy- i dont have details for flutturkey as charliecat has paid for the courier- if you can get hold of charliecat she may be able to help with this xxx

I posted a voucher to HAE and T-J yesterday. It's Recorded Delivery and the PO man said it should reach you by Fri.

awww thats me!!! i wasnt expecting anything more!! oooh but you did just ruin the postmans amusement of seeing my shocked face yet again cos i'll be expecting this one!!

I finally sent the parcel out to D D of Derby on Tuesday. You should get it by next Tuesday. Sorry I procrastinated. Good luck with the new baby.

Soapy I e-mailed you twice but never heard from you about my offer of help, do I assume you've had enough offers and don't need any more?

I am totally stunned & overwhelmed, we have recieved another 2 parcels this morning & i just can not thank you both enough for your kindness & generosity at such a rubbish time for us.

Ds & dd are going to be over the moon, especially ds as he is at that age (4) now, when i opened the parcel he closed his eyes in case he could see something.

So a BIG thank you to L G with LO's H T R what lovely wrapping & such thoughtful people you are we are so grateful

Also A massive THANK YOU to L for the fab box of goodies, such thoughtful things & thank you so so much for the voucher your generosity could make us cry we are overwhelmed, thank you

Thank you to some lovely families on mumsnet Ds & Dd are going to have a wonderful christmas & one to remember.

Thank you so much
