****NormaStanleyFletcher would like to say sorry as the Christmas Appeal Matching is slightly delayed****

Sorry folks

Some idiot company decided to give me a full time job earlier than expected, and I have a MASSIVE document to finish; they are paying me a load of money (well more than I have ever earned before) so I feel duty bound as the eager newbie to get it done in my free time...

I have no internet access during the day apart from BBC, tfl and a couple of others.

I have also been ill, not with a hangover from the Christmas Party, but with earache, and have had v little sleep, so had to have the day off work yesterday (so much for the eager newbie)

Anyhoo - this means that the matching will be delayed by a couple of days. Sorry

If you have a particular need to be matched early, drop me a mail ([email protected]) and I will shove you to the top of the list.

Thanks for listening.

Please bump this

Ta

@ norma
I have a beautiful, fantabulously decorated tree up

thanks to a wonderful mumsnetter

lilibet · 05/12/2009 18:46

Hope you're soon feeling better Norma, and congrats on the job.

We could always bump it back to Easter

NormaStanleyFletcher · 05/12/2009 18:49

Go start the thank you thread then Rhino

Put lots of * each end of the "Official MN Christmas Appeal thank you thread" title.

You are the ONLY person who has received so far, and to be fair the only person I matched. That was simply because that match was bloody obvious, as I knew that Neil used to get your tree every year.
Once the rest of the matches are out, then we can sticky it (Lovely mumsnetHQ people permitting)

No - not to easter. It will be today and tomorrow. My bezzy mate from UNI years is coming over. SHe is going to help me over a box glass of wine. She knows none of you and isn't a MNer, but she does have a hangover

We haven't seen each other since I got married 3 years ago.
