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!

Thank you very much. Had a bit of a surprise to see the postman at the door this morning, but lovely to receive the gifts. Am looking forward to seeing what the book is on Christmas morning and just off to look on Argos to spend the voucher, thank you. It took all of my self restraint to not open the Lindt - it lasted about 5 mins!

Thank you ad have awonderful Christmas xx

Sorry for the confusion with the M&S parcel. There was supposed to be more text with the receipts but M&S online shopping system is not really designed for this kind of thing . I was hoping that I'd got enough things for you to be able to cover all the dc. I opted for the non-wrapped option so that you could see what there is and allocate according to what your dc like/already have.

Reference number is 1303 btw.

spookycharlotte121 · 15/12/2008 11:22

I dont know where to begin! I made this thread too.

I opened the door this morning to find my post man with not 1 but 3 secret santa parcles! I really in all seriousness dont know how to say thankyou. Its is so kind and gernerous. dd made a mad dash and has already opened one of hers, luckily it was for her. ds is playing in the boxes atm and with all the shreaded paper and is having a whale of a time.

I have had such a rubbish weekend and this is the most amazing start to my week. Thankyou so much. Ds is wrapping dd up in the shreaded paper now. they are having so much fun.

words cant express my gratitude. I really dont know what to say. thankyou so so so much. Please, who ever sent me my prezzies please own up, I really want to say thankyou.

I know you have had your ups and downs but I do like to read your posts and I think you are a fab mum and hope that 2009 is a better year for you.

I am so touched to be nominated as a recipient. Things have not been easy the last 6 week while my DH has been out of work so I am very grateful.

a very, very big thank you from all of us at Lulu Towers for the lovely, generous and most unexpected presents that arrived this morning. a fab array of gifts, that we are touched and delighted to have received.. DD has already filled the trinket box, and I am wearing the lovely cosy socks, and there were other equally fab gifts , just so

big thank you and merry christmas to you and yours, and your generosity and kindess is so much appreciated....

J2O · 15/12/2008 13:43

Wow! What a wonderful suprise this morning. I recieved an envelope with boots vouchers in it. I had already recieved a massive box of goodies last week from another mumsnetter so i certainly didn't expect this.

Thank you so much!!

I couldn't find a reference, but the card was signed from H,L and E.

You are so thoughtful and kind, I hope you have the best christmas. Thank you to you, whoever nominated me and StG for organising it all

Keep an eye on the post as there is another small parcel on the way......

MNeroftheHouse · 15/12/2008 14:47

Hello

I can't find a reference on the parcel I received this morning, but wanted to say thankyou so much to whoever sent it

There were presents (all wrapped) for my ds, 2 dds and me.

I hope you recognise yourself, and know how much it means this year that people have gone to the trouble of nominating, matching buying wrapping and sending things

forgottoputreferencenumber · 15/12/2008 15:01

MNerofthehouse Glad you received them, i was in a rush to get them posted, could of kicked myself when i realised that i'd forgotton to write the reference number! Sorry it wasn't much but i had no idea what to get in case your dcs ended up getting the same thing from other people Happy Christmas!

BexieID · 15/12/2008 15:02

FioFio - glad you got the parcel. Hope you all have a lovely christmas!

Thank you so so much. I will wrap them both up for dd to open to xmas day. Cannot believe that I actually got nominated for this and the coat will be really much appreciated by dd.

Once again, thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
