[TenLordsaLapin]

For reasons explained in the old thread here, please can we use this one now? Thank you

Spooky thanks for letting me know it arrived - I had a horrible feeling I'd left it too late for Christmas! My dds (2 and 4) LOVE craft stuff, so I'm glad it was a good choice.

Get yourself in the bath for a pamper when you've got the chance - I've just read about what's going on in your life right now and I'm thinking of you all.

I'm proud to be part of the mumsnet community

So glad that it arrived. There's another something which is JUST FOR YOU which should arrive tomorrow. You are not allowed to open any of it before Christmas day. It is to go under your tree. You may open the black envelope.

Have a wonderful Christmas.

It's all so nice

Amazon assures me there's a parcel on its way to Kent Hope it gets there for Christmas!

Big Thank you to the mumsnetter in Mount Pleasant who very kindly sent me a M&S Gift card! I am off there tomorrow to get Mince Pies! (They are they best....)

Quint - Mount Pleasant is a massive Central London sorting office

Well, that is what the postage stamp says, thought it might be from Wales, as the only mount pleasant I know is in Wales.... So then there is NO clue as to who the sender is, so thank you secret santa!

Lapin, mine is going to be hand delivered tomorrow. Can you check if my mnetter will be in during the morning? I'm doing a party first thing and then I'll be off to seeher! Am excited

Still no news on mine?
My email has pantsed out Lapin so am posting here instead.

I had lovely delivery today - THANK YOU so much to D in Leeds! The Boots Voucher was very kind of you and i have put the wrapped things under my tree! I am so humble to peoples kind generosity - Thank you very much and Happy Christmas

I've been following your posts about your DD. I hope her scan went OK and that you get some answers soon.

The dress my DD grew out of before she'd worn it; the sleepsuit isn't new, but I thought it was too nice for the charity shop.

I'm glad you liked it.

Have a Merry Christmas

DippyChristmas,

So glad the parcel arrived and was suitable (especially the Ali Baba game....I like camels too ).

Hope you and your dd's have a fabulous Christmas xxxxxxx

AmazonBoxRecyclerSantatoTrace2 who ever you are thank you so much i thought both was new tbh dress and sleepsuit still a little big for dd but she will get use out of them i will admit i cried when they came i carnt belive how kind everone is ive told every one i know about all the ss on here people cart belive it, it shows this is the best place to be.

and thank you of thinking of dd

Thanks lapin for the link. I just don't seem to have the time to go on PC much at the moment. Glad I have been part of this.
Merry Christmas and lots of good things for 2008.

Pink Ranger -

I am glad you have posted to say you have got your present - I was a getting a little worried! I didn't realise you weren't supposed to wrap them up (and apologies for the smudging - writing in the car with my only pen) - but I hope your older son likes his present and your younger son fits . I do not post much but lurk everyday and I was happy to contribute.

I hope you and your family have a lovely Christmas and you have a good 2008.

lapin - can u let me know if my parcel had arrived?? as i sent it on monday 10th...thanks

A lovely parcel arrived today (after 2 failed delivery attempts) full of Winnie the Pooh and star wrapped presents for my boys.

Thank you so much lovely Irish lady I have been very good and not opened the one for me, can't guarantee I will last until Tuesday though.

I almost flooded the house (again!) when I rang DH to tell him because I started getting all emotional. I really wasn't looking forward to the holidays much.

Thank you for brightening my week, for your generosity and, most of all, for caring.

I love this place

Thanks lapin for letting me know it arrived

I'd like to add a couple words to all the thanks....when my son was about 5 we hit a really bad patch and were homeless for a while and it took a few years to get going again. One Christmas vincent de paul provided our Christmas, with donated food, toys and even a small artificial tree and ornaments. This was all a long time ago, but it's not something you ever forget. Doing the secret santa is for me like a gift. Paying it forward as mentioned, grateful that right now I am able to give, and finally, since my own are all grown up, being able to shop for little ones... imagining that "santa came" look .
So thank you, all of you, givers and recievers, for making this "mums" christmas very special!

Aw I'm so glad it arrived StG! I enjoyed looking for items for it & in fact had to buy 2 of a certain thing as my nephew saw it & loved it!

I was worried that the box may have disintergrated somwhere across the Irish sea!

If you want to open the parcels & check their suitability I don't mind one bit!! In fact I meant to include a list of what was what as well as what was for whom!!

Hope you have a happy Christmas & New Year xxxx

Thank You, Thank you, Thank You

Recieved a parcel from you this morning, which was sent on the 10th (!) from Nottingham.

4 presents for me which have gone under the tree now, and an ambulance, snap cards, a shop (and food), a basket, a flippy car (!), dinasour and a selection box.

Thank you very much.

Have a very good Christmas.
