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 !

By "Gaps" I obviously mean any items not already donated, sorry!

THNAK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Sent the one parcel yesterday, other tomorrow hopefuly.

sent all mine on friday. Some went recorded and some went standard parcel-dont ask, so they will probably arrive on different days.

Lapin, my ds is really poorly with V&D & is off school today & probably tomorrow, i won't be able to do mine till towards the end of the week all depending on ds,

not to worry Scoobs, is only Dec 3rd. Hope DS feels better soon x

I haven't got mine posted out yet either. As still feeling rough after my op it will be end of week I think. Need to sort a courier out.

It is annoying me though because it's in the back of my mind, i like to be organised, hopefully all will be well & i can get things brought on wed/thurs & post friday, i will let you know when sorted.

Poor ds though he is lieing lifeless on the sofa, it did start saturday early hours, i went out got a bit drunk when i got in at 2am, 5 mins later i heard ds being sick in his bed i ran in (well swayed in) to help him, he has been sick again this morning is well., just hoping dd does not get it!

Oh hulababy you feel better too!

I know how you all feel, mine have been sitting in the hall for days . I did actually get as far as the post office but threw a strop at there only being 4 people manning 14 counters

Any recommendations for couriers, esp door to door ones, now that payperdrop have stopped?

Urgh, no idea, maybe start a thread about it? I am sure other MNers will want to know too.

Where have payperdrop gone then? how strange they just stopped!

Already started a thread and no one answering!

Not sure why they stopped, only quite recently too. Apparently they are setting up their own service. In the mean time though - I need a cheap and reliable courier!

Home Textiles on ebay are just as cheap as PPD. They use Parcelforce.

payperdrop sent me an email saying they have stopped using DHL but have now set up their own fleet of vans, if anyone wants me to fwd it to them it might have contact details on it!

can you forward it to me please sleeplessinthestaceym11house.
[email protected] thanks

Don't think the payperdrop's own site starts up until January.

ppd thread here

Mine was sent first class today, too.

And mine!
