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

Have just e-mailed you norma. Hope it is ok.

Am about to email you again you Norma.

I sent one in Oct, never heard back, but my internet account does like to post emails into cyber space never to be seen again! Can you let me know if it arrives? Ta muchly.

Phantom - got it :0)

58 emails just sent from mumsnetsanta.

Just got home from work. I have had great news today. I have my security clearance, so I can start full time work from Tuesday.

This is good news as I can organise santa stuff on the train (it is also good news as I will be in paid work for the first time since Jan). But I won't have internet access during the day, so you probably won't get replies to posts or emails from 7am to 7pm

Thanks for letting me know Phantom.

Oh FGS, that should say Norma not Phantom.

Thanks for the emails Norma

Norma - my email has crashed but I might have something else to donate.

Might not get any more replies tonight.

Will get on it again tomorrow

Emailed you!

Thanks for the e-mail

erm are people allowed to nominate themselves? Cheeky I know...it's just that my ex split up with me boxing day last year, I then spent my birthday very pregnant and alone and got no presents and had nobody to acknowledge my birthday. Will be the same for xmas (except my two dd's but they don't have any idea about xmas and the thought of it makes me feel horrible
[So so embarrassed emoticon]

Got round to listing everything & have just emailed you

Thanks Fi

Got your mail

Smugsy, people can, and do, nominate themselves. As long as you meet the membership criteria (must have been a member since 1 Jul 09)

Thanks Norma, I have been on here since April, wasn't brave to post until recently so was a full time lurker!
Have sent an email to the email address on the other thread.

Hi, Ive just sent the complete list to you via email ok.

Hope you get it ok.

Look forward to bringing a little bit of magic this christmas

I am really looking forward to it too

Just emailed you. Apologies if I have not done this right!

Your email was perfect

Norma - I have something else to donate.

I only joined MN this year, so have only just discovered the appeals. The old thank you threads have made me bawl.

What an ace idea, I feel very proud to be a MNer.

Pooh, ICANN donate some lovely toddler girl stuff. Will e-mail.

V impressed with Boden's vouchers. What did they do for Trinity?

No idea how a "pooh" snuck in to the start of that message. Seriously no idea!

I've emailed you Norma.
