i think i may be first.
I would like to thank my mystery benefactress from SW17 who took the time and care to send me some lovely books for my children for xmas, a few bits & bobs and a M&S voucher.
christmas can terrify me sometimes. i have three children and work full time to support them, but that means there really isn't enough for treats after the bills/mortgage etc. it really means such a lot to me that another mum cared enough to go to so much trouble.
last years xmas appeal was one of the reasons why i joined mumsnet in the first place. I do hope that i am in a better position next year, to 'pay it forwards' and (prematurely) wish all givers and receivers a peaceful festive season and very best wishes to you and your families and loved ones for 2008.
thank you!
