Hello there.

I have finally emailed everyone with their matches! (well, everyone except the two of you that joined in yesterday - you know who you are )

So if you don't think you have received your email, please a) check your spam and b) mail me on [email protected] if you haven't had it, and I will resend.

I am having problems getting rejected messages from a few of you - it seems to be a Hotmail problem. So you might get an email from some random woman with a strange Hotmail address - that's me!

Please could everyone just drop me a very quick line when you have got your email, so I know they have got through - most of you have already done this, thank you. Just an email reply saying "Received, luv mumofbenandgeorgie1989" is fine (it helps me enormously if you stick your MN name in somewhere).

Ummm, what else.

Questions thread here - please check here and also post any general questions here rather than emailing me. Obviously email me if you have specific questions about your recipient.

And there is a Thank You thread here too.

Thanks everyone for joining in !

[biglips]

aaaahhhh righto!

ive sent the email x

[EllieG]

Asked this on the other thread but no one answered...am feeling a bit worried about what/how much to send - don't know the etiquette of this not being around last year - don't have loads of spare cash but got a few bits and pieces, is that OK? Don't want to offend anyone, or not send enough and have receiver think oh no those are crap i wish I had got someone else.

[RabbitBurns]

Minimum £10,000

Nooo, send whatever you like, there is massive variation in what is being donated. Almost every recipient is matched with more than one person - actually, every recipient - so really, don't stress. I am sure they will love it! I'd be chuffed if someone just sent me a bar of Dairy Milk!

[EllieG]

Oh that's OK then, I will stop worrying. Have got all ready and will send off tomorrow.

[lullabyloo]

hint taken....email me your addy wabbit
I'm a green & black's 70% dark gal myself

[RabbitBurns]

LOL just kidding. Actually one of last night's dinner guests rocked up with a box of G&B truffles - luuuuush

[lullabyloo]

.....at dinner guests with taste
(our last visitors brought continental pralines [ungrateful spoiled brat emoticon]
but actually....I'm rather keen on conscience chocolate now....it's squidgier & absolutely to die for

[RabbitBurns]

I was going to post mine today, I went to the main post office... there were (no exaggeration) 60 people queuing and THREE people serving .

So I'll be posting it on Monday!

[SleeplessInTheStaceym11House]

can imagine you LL going up to PO and looking f it im coming back next week

[RabbitBurns]

Were you there?! I did say "oh for goodness sake this is ridiculous" rather loudly as I flounced out

[Bewilderbeast]

worried! I thought we were sending things we had or some mners who oculd afford were sending vouchers or bought presents but having read these threads it seems that everyone is going out and buying new things. What is the etiquette?

[lucykate]

i haven't bought anything, just sent something little that i made. am hoping that the mnetter it's gone to knows who it is for as i didn't put a note in with it or anything, it's for her dd.

[Bewilderbeast]

phew! I didn't want to end up being the grinch that stole xmas.

[Lizzylou]

LL, do you have any gaps at all? Anything that I could contribute (appreciate that this is late in the day, but have been having PC probs at home and am at work today).
If there is any item I could send, please let me know!
