I sent two parcels over a week ago and haven't seen anyone say they have arrived really hoping they didn't get lost as DS didn't insure them or track them grr

I did put my user name on the Christmas card enclosed....

Miaou · 17/12/2007 19:48

LittleLapin - sorry to bug you, but can you tell if my two recipients have got their gifts? I can't see any messages on here within the relevant timeframes IYSWIM

ShrinkingVioLetterstoSanta · 17/12/2007 19:54

do you know if mine arrived (DH didn't sort out tracking - grr)? Ta.

TenLordsaLapin · 17/12/2007 20:17

Miaou, one of yours has posted on the other thread but I don't know if she is thanking you... the other hasn't been on MN for ages. Wangle, similar situation for you.

I will happily email recipients - please can I ask that you all email me on [email protected] if you are concerned, I need to do some actual work and am going to try to stay off MN and it's distractions!

Thank you to the lovely Mumsnetter who sent me some clothes for ds (2.5), a Mr Potato Head (pirate stylee) and some choccy biccies. The biccies are coming with me to the office as ds and dh are wheat intolerant but I didn't tell Lapin that

TenLordsaLapin · 17/12/2007 20:31

Oh, and if you do email me about a missing package, please can you give me some clues as to what is in it!

Did anyone in Scotland get a ELC gift voucher/card thingy OK?

wangle99 · 17/12/2007 20:38

tribpot its such a shame you didn't say about wheat intolerance as my DS is also wheat intolerant and am well versed in all such foods!

Miaou · 17/12/2007 20:40

LL, the one who has posted isn't thanking me as I hadn't sent mine at that point! No hurry, just would be if they got lost in the post.

TenLordsaLapin · 17/12/2007 20:41

I have emailed everyone who anyone has queried, either on the threads or via emails. Will let you know - via email probably - ASAP.

Now I really MUST do some work, please do email me if you have queries, I will be checking it.

hi all, i have no internet thanks to bloody virgin media. Am posting from my phone! But can't really use email etc so if you've mailed me and don't get a reply, don't panic! Typical, I'm supposed to be working

LadyOfWassail · 17/12/2007 23:24

I think I have received another parcel but it's at the PO and as it's addressed to mum or mumsnetter I am not sure how I can provide proof to collect it... but I am sure it'll be ok. Thankyou so so so so soooo much my senders, it's cheered me up beyond words this Christmas. {{{{HUGS}}}}} and xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx's xxx

MarsyChristmas · 18/12/2007 00:09

Fill in the "permission to collect for someone else" or whatever it's called bit, then go collect!

mummyhill · 18/12/2007 07:47

Hope you get the problem with virgin media sorted. I am waiting to see if they cut ours off tomorrow which would be daft as we told them we will pay them when dh gets paid on Thursday.

TenLordsaLapin · 18/12/2007 08:24

Fingers crossed for you mummyhill

LoW, I spoke to the Post Office before we started this, and they said in cases where it's clearly not your name on the package - ie Mumsnetter of the House, or "My FluffySnugglebum" - you just have to bring proof of address.

pollyannainexcelsis · 18/12/2007 08:58

LittleLapin, do you know if my recipient has received her parcel yet?

TenLordsaLapin · 18/12/2007 09:04

pollyanna, I have emailed to ask.

Everyone, please can I reiterate this:

I will happily email recipients - please can I ask that you all email me on [email protected] if you are concerned, I need to do some actual work hmm wink and am going to try to stay off MN and its distractions!

Please include some details of the contents of your gift, so I know what I am looking for.

It's MUCH easier for me if you email me rather than post on here (plus you can give me more details! )

Thanks

Thankssecretsanta on t'other thread - think you were definitely my recipient !

Glad they all arrived ok and were suitable. I don't have boys but I do know a few, so glad the books were appropriate !

tribpot · 18/12/2007 09:27

wangle99 - thanks again, funny that we both have wheat intolerant little monkeys!

FlamesparodyOfAChristmasName · 18/12/2007 09:55

WORK?!?!?

christmasshoptilidrop · 18/12/2007 10:23

thank you very much for the christmas present. It was posted direct to me from bookers?

I have left it wrapped and it will go under my tree for me.

thank you

noelmum · 18/12/2007 11:07
