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")

LL- can you check if mine has? I have lost the recorded delivery slip and am worried that it has taken a detour- I have not seen a post on here yet.

TE, see my post to Boco. I'll be back later - I hope!

tiredemma · 16/12/2007 10:21

TenLordsaLapin · 16/12/2007 12:31

wheeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

Laptop all working and very fast, hurrah!

Boco, I think she has had yours, I know she has received parcels. I've asked her to post so we know who they are from (IYSWIM).

Emma, I've emailed your lady, will get back to you.

tiredemma · 16/12/2007 12:40

thats very fast LL- can I forward my laptop to you to get all my crap taken off it???? - tis very S L O W

lazawreath · 16/12/2007 12:42

Lapin, could you find out if my lady got her stuff from adams yet? I know she hasnt been on here for weeks, I hope she is ok. I did get a lovely card from her. I sent two more parcels which were signed for and there should be one more coming direct from adams.

im normally lazarou, by the way.

snowfunwhenyoureknackered · 16/12/2007 12:44

sat???

say!!!

TenLordsaLapin · 16/12/2007 12:45

Lazawreath, I emailed on Dec 7th to ask, but have not had a reply, and haven't seen her on the boards at all either. Will email again.

Emma, I had to backup my computer; defrag it; install new software; take the case off and add new memory and a new video card; then run a load of updates. I'm scanning it at the moment and it's been through 180,000 files and is still running! This process has taken about a week

lazawreath · 16/12/2007 12:48

ON the royalmail website it is saying they were delivered so she must have got those ones.
I really do hope everything is ok. Wish I could help more tbh

TenLordsaLapin · 16/12/2007 12:55

It will be fine. And I'm sure she is THRILLED, don't be (or even !)

HappyBirthdayJesus - your lady hasn't had yours yet. But she says anything coming through with Royal Mail is taking forever. I can agree with that, I had an order delivered yesterday that was sent more than a week earlier

TenLordsaLapin · 16/12/2007 19:26

TiredEmma - was it a parcel? not received as yet

WeFrizYouaMerryChristmas · 16/12/2007 20:03

Lapin do you know if mine got through ok? sent it two weeks ago now, heard nothing?

tiredemma · 16/12/2007 20:30

LL- It was a padded envelope- have found receipt, apparently it is at her local delivery ofice waiting for collection- can you just let her know?

TenLordsaLapin · 16/12/2007 21:48

TE - will do

Frizbe, it's on this thread, will email you

CliffRichardSucksEggsInHell · 16/12/2007 21:49

Lapin think it went to Jas? Just re-read some of the messages. Relieved it got there, I was worried for a bit!

CliffRichardSucksEggsInHell · 16/12/2007 21:50

Oh f**k! I didn't even think when I posted that.

Aargh!

TenLordsaLapin · 16/12/2007 21:54

LOL you utter dipstick

As it happens, your Sherlock skills are rubbish, you weren't matched with Jas! But your lady is on this thread

thankssecretsanta · 16/12/2007 22:06

Hi sorry I've been offline for a bit but I wanted to thank me secret santa very much, someone has very kindly sent us some chocs, a gift token and some books. The dcs will love the books they were all fascinated by the night garden at one point and the vehicle ones will go down very well! you must have boys to get it that right. (Token and chocs are very kind too I'm trying very hard to save mine and Christmas needs chocolate money......)
We've had a sh^%%y year so thankyou very much

Raggydoll · 16/12/2007 22:36

flamesparodyofachristmasname...

You are welcome, apologies for not signing the card, I wasn't sure what the 'done thing' was... I have a dc's the same age as yours and they helped put the box together, although to be honest they were a little reluctant to post it .

Merry Christmas xx

thankssecretsanta · 16/12/2007 22:41

oh I've just read the thread nameanonsecretsanta maybe you sent to me. It was really lovely if you did thankyou ever so much. I do hope you've not been worried about me not receiving it I've had computer probs! I think LL might have tried to e-mail me.......
I have a message on my mumsnet thing saying we tried and it didn't work yet the e-mail is fine!
Sorry if you've been worried, we have nightmares with the PO so LL might have asked you to get proof of posting if it was to me.....Have a wonderful christmas

lilybubble · 16/12/2007 23:10

Ah, so relieved to have found this thread in the hopes that the lovely person(s) who have sent me something might read, and know how totally blown away I was. I received a lovely set from The Sanctuary as well as a Boots gift card, and was just thrilled to bits. Actually made me shed a little tear to think how kind people can be - it's very humbling to have been a part of this, and I am truly grateful. Thank you so, so much for giving me a lovely ending to what has been a horrible, sad year. xx

Sanctuaryforlilybubble · 16/12/2007 23:13

You are very welcome lilybubble Relax and enjoy! Merry Christmas!

JingJanglingBexieHoHoHo · 16/12/2007 23:20

SmileyThanks - sounds like the one from me. If it was a reindeer toy from B & Q and the unwrapped Teletubbies puzzle, then it was. Sorry it wasn't alot, had a nightmare few weeks over cars! Hope you have a lovely Christmas!

lilybubble · 17/12/2007 00:06

Oh am really surprised to see a reply so very quickly!!! Thank you so much again, and I really hope you have a wonderful Christmas. You have made a big difference to mine xx
