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

Thank you

Hello. We've got some brilliant news for you.

We told Boden all about our Christmas Appeal and they have, incredibly generously, donated £500 worth of Boden vouchers - to be divided up between Mumsnetters who are receiving Mumsnet Santa parcels, as we see fit.

Hurrah!

oh boden!! wow,sounds great!

Wow Boden- that's incredibly kind of them.

It'snice when you see all thi coming to gether each year....proper Christmas, far away from rowing relatives and fighting over parts in a school play.

Hurray for Boden

Wow! Boden vouchers, mmmmmmm they do some lovely stuff. and they have been very very generous with this, and the donation to trinityrhino and her family as well.

Have emailed you.

Hi Norma - yes I 'm still crap at emailing you when I say I will
Have sent an FB inbox message...

I know this isn't the MN address but I was on FB when I remembered I still hadn't sent you my donation details

How brilliant are Boden?!

As a measure of gratitude for this and for their support I have ordered their catalogue. Expect to see a Boden BIWI near you soon...

Wow!

Thank you so much Boden

And thank you Helen for letting us know.

Just wanted to be the first to put a biscuit emoticon on the thread, I am sure I have plenty more to say

OMG when did the face turn up - I love it

Hey! I don't come here much, but I knew you were doing this and wanted to pop by and show my support

I'm okay. Been better, but not half bad

How are you bearing up under the strain of organising this?

My marriage will probably survive
