thx. secretsanta for the sugarbabe CD. Merry Christmas to all of u and happy new year 2008

Thankyousoveryverymuch · 23/12/2007 07:35

I hope my secret santa is still checking this thread, as I wouldn't want her to miss my thank you. I have only just found a package from her this morning, it actually arrived yesterday, but it went to my neighbours house, and he bought it round after I had gone to bed last night, so when I came down stairs this morning, it was on the table awaiting me! It was post dated 13th, so it has taken a while to get here!!!!

THANKYOU It was a lovely suprise to find first thing. It was from someone in Yorkshire, and contained the most perfect gifts possible! Spiderman toys (you have no idea how appropriate they are! Thankyou so very much, my DS is MAD on him!!!!)
Three books (one of which my DD will love especially, as she adores Bob!) And...as if that wasn't enough, a gift voucher for M&S.

Really, I am so overwhelmed by your generosity, I can't say thank you enough. You have really made such a difference to our christmas this year.

THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU

I truly hope you have a very happy christmas, and a wonderful 2008

secretsantawasme · 23/12/2007 08:43

Tnakyousoveryverymuch I am so glad you got your parcel - I was starting to worry! It has taken ages to get to you!

I have a spiderman mad ds too so I'm glad he will enjoy, and dd the book.

Happy Christmas

FlamesparodyOfAChristmasName · 23/12/2007 10:54

I just had post (on a Sunday??)

Thank you sooo much anonymous MNer - you sent me a beautiful dress and skirt for DD and a wrapped something. A card inside (Madonna and child type image) saying "A very merry Christmas from our family to yours"

I love them and they are great colouring for DD

nutcracker · 23/12/2007 11:07

Dear J & P, with children D,G,H and D, thank you so so so much for your lovely and thoughtful gifts. Every single thing in the parcel was lovely and the clothes were fantastic, you must have been a fly on the wall during a previous shopping session with my dd's as the clothes are exactly what they would pick. Also thanks for the chocs for me .

Will give the xmas kits to the kids to do tommorow when they are getting over excited LOL.

Oh and huge apologies to your DH for having to see me in my pj's

Thank you again and I hope you and your family have a lovely xmas xxx

mustrunmorewantsanewname · 23/12/2007 11:07

How did you get post on a sunday?

nutcracker · 23/12/2007 11:47

Well mine was delivered by a mners hubby, but apparently Royal Mail are delivering parcels today too.

bossybaublesinherbritches · 23/12/2007 11:50

I think they've got such a backlog of parcels they're HAVING to deliver today in some areas!!

FlamesparodyOfAChristmasName · 23/12/2007 16:29

Twas all most bizarre tbh!

TenLordsaLapin · 23/12/2007 16:36

For people worried about their parcels not getting through - hopefully they will all get there in the end!

We've been sent something for DS (from my aunt) - I am NOT going to the sorting office at 6:30am tomorrow, which is the only time I reckon there won't be a huge queue. I'm picking it up after Christmas.

All because our doorbell is broken (fabulous timing )

Thank you for my parcel, it contained baby clothes, and three wrapped pressies and 2 soft teddies. It was postd on the 20th, and arrived yesterday. Many thanks

AmazonReceiver · 23/12/2007 23:01

TO MY SECRET SANTA - Received a great parcel yesterday from amazon 2 hard back books, game of jenga and a pamper set for me!
Would just like to say thank you so much, so humble, MN has made my Xmas this year!!
Thank you and Happy Christmas!!!

saltirehangingonachristmastree · 24/12/2007 07:26

I'm hoping my parcel has arrived. I have no faith in the Royal Mail, and have had so many things turn up weeks alte, or not at all.
Worried now that the MNetter won't get it

stickyj · 24/12/2007 07:44

Nutcracker, glad you liked the stuff! I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas too!

Jackstini · 24/12/2007 10:19

Hi JustJules - I didn't know it was you I was sending to, (I remember you from us both being on mc threads earlier this year)
but am so glad you liked it. Your response has made me cry too now!
Hope you have a really lovely relaxing Christmas and am keeping everything crossed for you xxx

MellowChristmasEveryone · 24/12/2007 10:23

just incae my sender did not see thank you we had mail at 7.30pm on Friday evening.

I have figured out by postcodes that it was 2 different senders, both very very generous and DS2 loves the dragon jumper!!!!

I have wrapped the Star Wars transformer and Thomas & Friends set for Christmas day. thanks again. xxx

3rdparcelshock · 24/12/2007 10:37

OH MY GAWD

needmorecoffee · 24/12/2007 13:10

To the mumsnetter who sent me a cheque to spend on a switch adapted CD player for DD. Thankyou so very much. I had a little weep for how wonderful people are and how generous. Thankyou so very much, this means a great deal to me.

Gingermonkey · 24/12/2007 13:21

i'mdreamingofawhiteKITTYchristmas....been completely useless and hadn't checked the thank you thread for ages, I'm so glad your parcels arrived safely and I really hope you like them (well, the DDs do!) Have a fab day tomorrow!!!!!!!!

purplemonkeydishwasher · 24/12/2007 13:26

WewishyouaBUMPERLICIOUS · 24/12/2007 13:58

3rdparcelssecretsanta · 24/12/2007 14:32
