Am to be posting on here again, but another parcel arrived for me today. Even more than last time, as the card said that I had been nominated just for being nice. Doubly as there are so many nice MNers.

In case that isn't enough for the donor to recognise, the parcel was posted in Wales, and contains 3 items, which I shall look forward to opening tomorrow.

Thank you very much .

Theghostofchristmaspyjamas · 24/12/2007 15:09

Flame - just a wee note to tell you I posted back your wedding ring and have emailed you the tracking details.

Happy Christmas to everyone

Hello, just wondering if anyone if BFPO15 has received anything, don't think mine has arrived yet......

FlamesparodyOfAChristmasName · 24/12/2007 17:35

Hogwarts - you're a very twinkly star

CSWS - but you ARE nice, and no, I don't just mean last Christmas. You have obviously given a lot of us a lot of support and it is now time for thanks.

(again) to MumOfMonsters - I got post today (and the stamps weren't stamped so I could post em back for you to reuse ). I haven't shown B yet, but she will love it. Worrying thing is, me n Boy had a perfectly serious conversation about how it would be better to sprinkle on the back path as there is more space in the garden for the reindeer

'twould really make my crimbo if i knew my parcel had arrived,

mysonsmummy · 24/12/2007 22:26

to my lady who sent the parcel on friday via amazon.... i did wait in for it this morning as promised but rtuished out as soon as it came. my brother was taken into hospital yesterday. he is an alcoholic and had a bad fall a couple of days ago. he didnt put any hands out and fell completely on his face. so ive been with him today (funny his friends are never around when he needs them or this gf has not been to see him today or yesterday - she sent him in the ambulance on his own with a letter saying what his medication was ffs))- i have lots of guilt as i have distanced myself from him before now as its so hard watching him slowly kill himself like out mum did . anyhow im back now and have just opened the box now ds is in bed. they are all wrapped ready to be put in the stocking at the end of his bed. im not sure if you know my situ but we are stuck in the house so much as the moment board games are what keep us sane. we havent any of the games you sent. thank you so much - funny thing is if i went in to choose them they would have been exact ones. also the thomas crayons were great. it really was a lovely surprise.

i hope you have an amazing christmas with your family you so deserve it.

thanks again .. x x x x x

i will post again tomorrow and let you know what ds thought of them.

Just popping on quickly as I didn't get a chance to post Friday .....

Just as I was about to step outside to get into the car to go away for a couple of days, the postie turned up with another huge parcel!!!!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I got some yummy chocolates, some lovely bits and pieces for my girlies, including some gorgeous animal skittles for my youngest, which she will completely love! Thank you so much!!!!!

It was soooo lovely to be able to sit down with DH this evening and wrap the girls gifts and hang their stockings up - This just would not have been possile without the generosity of you lovely people on MN - Thank you for making our Christmas extra-special this year - You are amazing!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO THE LOVELY PERSON THAT SENT ME FLOWERS! It was really lovely of you and i have no idea who you are! I've never been sent flowers before! Thank you and Merry Christmas x

ChristmasShinySnowflakes · 25/12/2007 01:51

2Cute you have no idea how happy and relieved I am that it arrived on time

Sorry I could not send more but I was laid up with chicken pox at the time so could only do limited shopping.

Lots of love to you both xxx

charliecat · 25/12/2007 02:12

Merry Xmas to my givers...Ive been in a bad way mentally...complete state actually, and have just filled my dds stockings with all of your gifts and you have no idea the feelings that washed over me. And im numb, but they got through So thank you all xx

ChristmasShinySnowflakes · 25/12/2007 02:24

Oooohthankyouxx · 25/12/2007 08:56

I Just wanted to say another big thankyou to my secret santa

I saved my pressie until today to unwrap, and It was a beautiful purse, just lovely, and it had money inside too!!!!! I can't thank you enough, I have already swopped the contents of my old purse over.

Thankyou too for all the other gifts, they made such a difference, and the kids love them

you are a star xxxxx

FlamesparodyOfAChristmasName · 25/12/2007 13:21

The person who sent me "Peace and Quiet Body Lotion"v

How fab a name is that???

melsy · 25/12/2007 14:32

Just another thank you for my dd's presents which we saved for just now. They are exactly right for my two. Dd1 LOVES LOVES arts and crafts and the butterfly bank painting set is very synchronistic ! The baby scribbler is wonderful as dd2 just loves using dd1's and she gets most upset to have it whipped away !!! Its like you knew y kids really well. Wonderful.

Thank you again wags wherever you are , bless you for being so thoughtful.

Merry Christmas xxxx

MisteryNitter · 25/12/2007 17:55

Hazygirl: glad the cardigan arrived on time! Hope you have a fab Christmas

FlamesparodyOfAChristmasName · 25/12/2007 20:09

Mystery giver who sent the card with Madonna and child... DD wore the dress today and everyone commented on how lovely it was

thankyousomuch · 25/12/2007 22:31

CoolChristmasFairy

The boys loved their presents! Very well chosen, you must be a mum of boys.

It was lovely to unwrap my present, too. I love Neal's Yard stuff though can never usually justify buying it for myself. Another pefect choice!

I hope you had a wonderful day, you have made ours extra special.

Another 'thankyou' too, to The Dear Family. DS3 was 'reading' along with 'Bearhunt'. I had started filling in the MENSA form , but then remembered that it is one of his faves at nursery.
The chocolates were delicious. I'm ashamed to say though that....erm....DS4 didn't get any of his. Just as well though as DH 'found' the chocolate Christmas trees.
The scented soap bag is hanging in the wardrobe. Lovely! And again it's something I just wouldn't buy for myself. Thankyou again for the voucher and the clothes, too.

It has been so nice to receive some 'girly' things as I live with 5 blokes (albeit 4 little blokes and a DH) and it doesn't occur to them that I might like these things.

Hope you all had a lovely day and go on to have a happy and healthy 2008.
