Thought it would be handy to start a thread!!!

You should all get an ID number for parcels, so please quote it in your thanks (you can name change ) to make life easier for people checking their parcels have been received!

for Christmas Spirit!

dya know i am paralytic here as i dont know the ettiquette regarding the secrecy - i thought i put my mn name on the gift and then read this thread and thought ;shit! shouldnt have done that, but anyway glad you got it - wont say who !

lol fio - i know meant paralysed. freudian

REF 1902

Thank you so much for the package that arrived today! I am really excited to give it to DS on Christmas day. Was feeling a bit paranoid as will be staying with my SIL who will get her DD loads more than we can manage to get for DS so delighted he will have an extra parcel to open up! He's currently playing with the shiney gold envelope the card came in

Hope you and your 11 month DS have a fantastic Christmas. You've put a great smile on my face today

REF 207

I am deeply embarrassed but thank you it was a lovely surprise

Ref 1004
Thank you so much for the treats - all thoughtful and beautifully wrapped! Warm feeling inside at the kindness of strangers. x

Lisa B (couldn't find a ref no sorry) I am very grateful for the high street vouchers - you are a sweetheart. Was tempted to breeze into Iceland gobbing loudly a la Kerry K. but have resisted so far.

Thank you Thank you!

Ref 1801
Thank you so much! I was hoping I wouldn't be nominated this year as I'd feel so guilty receiving things when I think others are more deserving. But dh is going to be made redundant after New Year, so we've really had to cut back and re-think our futures. This Christmas has been a worry, but now I have 2 lovely gift vouchers - one from Tesco which means I can get some lovely treats for us for Christmas Eve, and one from WHSmith so I can get the kids a little extra present.

As ever I feel touched and humbled that a complete stranger can go out and do something like this for someone they don't know. It epitomises everything that Christmas is about! Thank you to my nominator, my giver and of course, StGeorge!

REF 505 Thank you so much for your beautiful parcel and card. All the presents are lovely, and your thoughtful words in your card brought tears to my eyes. I am so grateful that others are thinking of me this Christmas, all good wishes to you and your family for a wonderful Christmas.

I recieved another parcel !

Thank you VERY much 1312 (thank you for the warning re no children too) My DSs are going to have such a lovely xmas day (the argos vouchers will be spent 2mo - i have rung and reserved already )

AND the smellies for ME! the only time i get to myself is in the bath if i can get the water temp right and DS3 doesn't wake up. I am not sure i have looked forward to a bath so much before

Thank you so very much xxx

I'm glad it arrived safely. Merry Christmas .

Coolchristmasfairy got you second parcel today, thankyou so so much! Im so very truely grateful. It was very very generous of you, the sainsburys voucher means we can have some nice treats over christmas which I wouldnt have bought otherwise and the rest of my family will sppreciate it too. My mum has been overwhealmed by everyone kindness on here and I just feel like saying thankyou isnt enough. Oh and the bath stuff..... OMG it Smells devine. The kids are hopefully going to their dads overnight tomorrow so Im going to have a nice long soak in the bath with a glass of wine and enjoy what you sent me. Im not normally a fan of smellies but those are seriously good smelling, I was tempted to taste some.

Has parcel 603 (reference number was inside the card) been received yet? It was sent at the beginning of the week.

Can I just ask if parcel 1211 has been received yet? I sent it end of last week.

REF: 1501

OMG!
I have just received a absolutely HUGE box of goodies for my DC.
I do not know what to say - absolutely everything that is in the parcel will be massive help to us, and so thoughtful!!

There was me, worrying that DC's wouldn't have anything for xmas and now it is looking like they are going to be the luckiest children EVER!

My husband is still in shock, as am i, at the kindness of mumsnetters!!

Thats it, ive tried not to but im going to blub, so i'll leave it at that! I hope, whoever you are, that you have a fantastic xmas!

has parcel 302 been received yet? it was sent last thursday

1207

Oh My Goodness.

I don't have words to say just how thankful and grateful and shocked and amazed I am (although thats a few words!)

DS will ADORE the gift and I LOVE the voucher - it's one of my favourite shops and I'll save it for the sales to make it last longer!

I am so amazed at how thoroughly generous you are - thank you SO much, genuinely from the bottom of my heart.

S, K and C - thank you x I hope you have a fantastic Christmas; you've absolutely made this one fantastic

I am amazed....

ST GEORGE - is it possible to check if parcels have arrived? Isent mine last Friday and haven't seen anything on here so far.

I know maybe some MNers are busy and can't get on but I wondered if you might know if packages had been received

1207

We're really pleased that your DS will like the gift - DH spent a long time trying to decide on what would make a small boy of your DS's age happy, and says that it was the part of his Christmas preparations he enjoyed most.

I hope you buy yourself some treats with the voucher

I know what you mean gemmiereindeerlegs, my parcel was dispatched from ELC on wed 10th dec and no mention of it on here. I want to know if it arrived safely. I was unable to put my reference number on though cos it was sent staight to mumsnetter.

if you have received a parcel from jojomamanbebe addressed to mrs mumsnetter and you live in a place beginning with B, then it was from me - 302. hope they are ok

there should also be a parcel of toys on it's way to you with the number 302 on it. hope they arrive in time for christmas xxx
