My postman just arrived, no kidding 7.25pm and he turned up!!

I have no idea if the gifts we received are from the same person or from two different people but thank you thank you.

Someone must be mind-reader because the gifts for the boys were jsut what I would have bought if I could have..so I will stop rambling now and list the gifts so you know they have been delivered.

Again thanks very very much!!

A lovely little knitted jumper and some trousers and a StarWars Transformer and a Thomas The Tank Station set.

SpaceCadet - honestly, I am overwhelmed by this Secret Santa thing. Next year, I am putting my name down to give. It has given me so much happiness to receive two parcels and I want to be able to return the favour. .

Happy Christmas to you all.

Oh my God Flame You nutter! How lucky was that ? That ring could've been so easily lost in the packaging!

SoVeryGrateful · 21/12/2007 20:53

I would like to say a massive thank you to 'Angela , A, A, C & N for the wonderful box of goodies which DHL dropped off yesterday.

I was truly when i opened the box and saw all of the lovely goodies inside. This will make a massive difference to our christmas and I really cant thank you enough. Just hope that I am able to return the favour someday.

Thank you again, have a lovely christmas xxxx

THANK YOU xx

NAB3hundredbaubles · 22/12/2007 09:22

May I just suggest that you wait to send the wedding ring as the post is a nightmare at the minute.

Just a thought.

Merry Christmas!!

PersephoneSnowballSnape · 22/12/2007 10:18

I'm actually starting to get a bit embarrassed by the amount of stuff we have received. in addition to the parcels I've already mentioned, today i received a card with a £20 note in it! an english twenty, which being English and living in Scotland has made me homesick!!

we're going to the cinema this afternoon now! a rare treat! we hardly ever go because it's so bloody expensive to take three children and me to see a film! I'm really looking forwards to it - and so are the kiddiliwinks. thank you so much! i resolve to do random acts of kindness in all directions in repayment!

needmorecoffee · 22/12/2007 10:36

Huge thanks for the mumsnetter who sent the cuddly elephant to dd and the one who sent us a revolving Santa and bath stuff for me. dd thinks the Santa is fab and laughs when it goes round.
It felt very special getting parcels labelled 'to the mumsnetter of the house'
no name on either so can't thank you both personally.

pollyannainexcelsis · 22/12/2007 10:45

Lapin, I will email you, but do you know if my present has been received? I am starting to get worried about it.

magicdustreciever · 22/12/2007 10:50

Thanks you so much to you.
My dc will love sprinking the magical dust outside

Merry Christmas to you and your family.

FlamesparodyOfAChristmasName · 22/12/2007 11:00

I was wondering the same with the Christmas post and the ring, but I also know how I owuld feel having someone else's ring in the house just waiting for me to lose it!

needmorecoffee - so glad your DD liked the Santa - my DDs tried really hard to think of something suitable.

tiredemma · 22/12/2007 12:15

SSD!

So glad it arrived! Sorry for the delay in replying to your lovely response to my parcel- we have been away all week and had no access to net.

Have a wonderful christmas- I meant every word in the letter- you really do sound like such a wonderful mum and daughter.

Hope the boys have fun with the vouchers.

have a great christmas and new year- lots of love to you all

xx

needmorecoffee · 22/12/2007 13:22

It was just so lovely someone thought of me

lou33 · 22/12/2007 13:27

can i say thank you very much to the lovely person who knows my rl name , but anonymously sent some fabulous gifts via mn

JandDmom · 22/12/2007 13:28

Dear GreedyGecko,
Glad you got the package. Hope you have a Merry Christmas, too.

snowfunwhenyoureknackered · 22/12/2007 13:43

tirdemma. so glad you've seen my thank you, I was worried you might think your parcel hadn't arrived or worse I hadn't bothered to acknowledge your kindness!

thanks again, I really hope you and your family have a great Christmas and New Year!

P.S. Your letter is safely folded up inside a zip in my purse - thank you.

Flame - Just seen you post. I had emailed you earlier. DD has the tummy bug and we've been up half the night so I didnt make it to the post office in time, sorry. I was going to post it Special delivery on Monday (i think its next day as this is what they recommend for valuables) but would you prefer me to wait? I can put it away out of harms way in my house, I just didnt want you to think I was hanging on to it and knew if you were anything like me you would be dying to get it back. Let me know if you prefer that I wait until after the Christmas panic or if you would prefer I post it on Monday morning. I have an antenatal appt at 9am so will be up and out anyway

melsy · 22/12/2007 19:46

THANK YOU thank you wags (I think) for the wrapped, (beautifully I must say), pressies for dd1 and 2. Im just so humbled to be thought of again. What a lovely bunch of mummies you are.
