*****It's the final Countdown... to the end of nominations and donations for the MUMSNET CHRISTMAS APPEAL - 8 November is the deadline*******

[NormaBatesFeltcher]

The deadlne for donations and nominations is just under a week away.

If you need to know what it is all about then here are some links

where it all started with Soapy in 2006

and lapin took over in 2007

2007 thank you thread

2008 appeal from StGeorge

thank you thread 2008

and this is this years effort

Just to make clear. No names will be given out unless I have permission.

If you would like to donate or nominate please email me at

[email protected]

All nominees must have been registered Mumsnet members BEFORE July 1st 2009.
I would prefer nominators to have been Mumsnet members before September 1st 2009

The deadline for signing up is November 8th to allow plenty of time. I aim to have the matches out by December 1st to give plenty of time for the trip to queue at the post office.

Now tell me those thank you threads don't make you a little bit teary

kimi - I have name changed several times as XH used to look waht was doing. but was munz then davidtennantsmistress then er spandex and now this one.

the first year made DS's 1st xmas so special. and the second I wanted to give something back but XH walked out on me, so I was overwhelmed at the £80 gift card that dropped thru the door to be pampered (this was 2007) then last year I gave some bits, and will give some bits again this year. we're now back on our feet again, but i've never forgotten the support from the MN girls.

reallywoundup can you mail me again. You should have had a relply if you mailed a while ago.

If you have mailed me since Sunday then you may not have a reply yet. I will get round to it (hope fully today if I can)

That is a lovely post thesouthsbelle

fabster - I can be a bit more flexible with donors. Email me with details of when you will know and I will email you back. Please don't give unless you can afford it though

I will, and feel free to remind me.

I have no idea when I will know tbh.

hiya have emailed you .

will email again later- just collating some adresses for nominees atm

Norma, I did email in on the first day but it never got replied to and you said to do it again. I didn't email again as I'm so sorry but I'm really not in a position to be able to donate as originally planned now, things have gone a bit tits up

i will donate but do not know what there is someone i am a bit 'soft' on but not sure she even mn anymore

No worries Avada. It is lovely that you wanted to help and good to know now rather than later.

Sorry things aren't good.

Norma you can email me or facebook i have no idea how this works

JesusChristOtterStar - If you want to donate that is lovely. In general don't match people up with anyone they necessarily know on MN or IRL, just who-ever matches what you have to give IYSWIM

x posts Norm

ok

what do i give?

Are you realy an otter?

NO

Hi
I did email when this started - but had to set up a new email account with my MN name for it so not 100% sure you will have got it.
Not heard anything - am going to send you another from my normal account now (shhh don't tell anyone who I am)

Norma can you email me back pls ?

cheers x

I am waiting for DH to go to bed so I can get stuck into email answering. I have mailed you back though Disenchanted

Wuglet, I won't let anyone know that you are are Claudia Scheiffer

oops

JCOS - have sent you FB message, I think

cheers thanks!

do you want all details of nominees yet? i have been super organised and nearly got all the details- or should i hold onto them until you've got a bit more sorted? email on its way re donation.

Reallywoundup

I love super organised nominators

You have until Saturday. So if you can get more info by then that would be good.

DH now in bed so working through emails

Gets all excited...

DS & I are going to have a sort out of his toddler toys (still in very good condition) in the next few days.... so I'll email a list of the things he's grown out of playing with and that are of no interest to his little sister.

Would be much nicer to re-home them on MN rather than just charity shop them. I also have some brand new toys given to our little girl when she was born that we don't need so I'll look them out to add to the list also... xoxox
