A few people have asked me how they should thank the person who sent them something - can I suggest you post on here? Namechange if you want to remain anonymous, and remember that your donor won't know your MN name anyway - so maybe give some clues (ie "thank you for the lego and the chocolate")

My two parcels have just been picked up by Parcelforce. One is heading it's way to Gravesend and the other to Markham, Blackwood. I hope both your familys have a lovely Christmas!

LL, just letting you know i will be posting mine tomo/thursday....walked all the way up to the PO this morning and had forgotten it and now i hurt lots. Annoying thing is i can get it in a normal letter box but my closest one has been blocked and the next one is at the enormously busy PO

Am its not more exciting

I want to say the most Heartfelt THANKYOU in the world to our secret MNetter Santa.

I received a parcel today, and I cannot believe how fantastic it was!! You have judged my DC perfectly! The Make up and pencils and paper will be soooo perfect for both my DD1 and DD2, and the car is absolutely spot on for DS.
This is before I mention the dresses! Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou....I am truly overwhelmed!! They are beautiful, and my DD's will LOVE them...they are the right sizes and exactly the right style to suit!! (DD1, the eldest will absolutely love hers)

Just Thankyou for everything, I could not have asked for a more perfect gift!!
(I have kept the wrapped up pressie wrapped up...and if the other gifts are anything to go by then I can't wait to open it!!! I'll get all the others wrapped up ready)

I am still trying to work out who you are...as you said a clue was in the box (I'm not very clever at the best of times!)

You have really put a smile on my face, and made a stressful year seem miles away!!!

Thankyou so much, and thankyou also to LittleLapin for making it all possible!!

XXXXXXXXXXXX

I wrapped mine, hope that was ok?

LAPIN ANNOUNCES COCKUP

Umm.... it's not lulumama/camillathechicken who has the 18m DS - it's rubyslippers. And their packages were sent to the same address! So Camilla, you and Rubes need to sort it out between you.

So sorry, that didn't even occur to me!

Scooby, the gift certificate (which is for you -- so please don't spend it on the DCs!!!!) and the robot and phone are from me. Glad you like them. Merry Christmas.

It was me!
I was beginning to worry, that either you hadnt recieved them yet or you wernt happy with what id sent. Id been searching this thread looking for anyone who had recieved my parcel, and thank goodness it seems you have and you are pleased.
Others on here have described recieving brand new items, expensive ones too or gift vouchers for large amounts of money - i was beginning to panic thinking mine were a bit used, scratched and rough looking. But im soo pleased your ds has enjoyed playing with them and your dd too. Thats all that matters really its not the quality its the use that can be had from them.
I knew these were popular toys with my dc and their friends and was sure your dc would like them too dispite them being a little worn.
Have a very merry christams

And thankyou LLapin, very much for this opportunity

I think LLapin deserves presents too! Did she/you nomnate yourself for any? I hope you did - you certainly deserve it.

Another big THANK YOU, flying in and out but will post more later, for now many thanks to JR in Guildford and Madhouse

LOL, no, but the lovely nurseyJo sent me some scrummy macaroons all the way from Paris, so I am happy

hmmm...

where can we find LLapins address and family details?? Sshh, its a secret!

GloriaInEleusis - WOW thank you, you are very very generous, they came seperate so i assumed they were from seperate people I did put a thank you message further down for the girft certificate, i hope you saw it.

I hope you & your family have a fantastic christmas you have helped us alot & i can't thank you enough.

[thinks]

Okay who has LL's address??

Hmm yes we could do with LL's address...

LL can you email me it please?

Lapin you have mail !

I'd assume as nurseryjo sent her something thatnurseryjo has the address??

smartarse no harm done ! my sister , ruby;s gifts were being sent c/o my address as they were supposed to be moving house and are coming here for xmas, so i will put her things in a gift bag for her.....

LL if you don't give Scooby your address we will send you lots of mail, or do something very annoying.

[if all else fails resort to blackmail]

We will stop saying what our presents have in them also, then you won't know wtf is happening?

Oh now I used to have NurseryJos address but it was on my other computer [bah]

Shhhhh, Scooby! Jura will hear you and you will ruin my hard earned reputation of a mean old bat.

Now, promise me you are spending that Amazon gift certificate on yourself.

GloriaInEleusis - You are Fab

I have been having a good old nose on amazon just now (have it open in another window) am browsing there cd's, oh how exciting i thought it was for ds & dd am very very pleased & excited it is for me, you are a very very generous lady, thank you x
