****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

Got my match today, but doubt it will be received before the big day. Sorry to whoever receives it, but I promise I'll send it.

CherryChristmasEveryone · 22/12/2009 20:36

thanks arishohoho

Awassailinglookingforanswers · 22/12/2009 20:39

I didn't get one either but as I'm sending vouchers I'm sure the recipient won't mind getting it in the New Year when the sales are on

littledawleybaubles · 22/12/2009 21:20

Thanks Norma - I got my match and hopefully, if Amazon and Jo Malone get their bums in gear, something should arrive in time for Christmas.

You have done an amazing job and I am full of admiration for you

magicofchristmas · 22/12/2009 22:23

Just read on the thank you thread that the good ole post office delivered the parcel today

So pleased the recipient got it in time.

Shame all the other stuff wont get away now till after the new year.

magicofchristmas · 22/12/2009 22:25

Oh sorry, forgot to add

merry christmas fletch

FirelightGlintingOnTheXmasTree · 23/12/2009 08:27

merry christmas to all at the normastanleyfletcher household

ChilloHippi · 23/12/2009 11:30

Norma, you should feel so proud of yourself. Look at all the really grateful people on the thank you thread (me included!). It must be a massive task to sort out and I no idea how many people you needed to organise.

wuglet · 23/12/2009 11:43

Hi
No match for me but am happy to send in the New year (was an offer to buy whatever was wanted so isn't cluttering up my house!!)

You have done a fab job, enjoy Xmas having a well deserved rest.

Just to be nosy (and to fully appreciate your hard work)....how many matches were there to make? I am sure we are all totally underestimating what you have been doing!

Again - don't feel bad. You have done more then could possibly have been expected given everything else that has been happening with you [fpatronising] (sorry!)

Now get of the computer and go spend time with your family!!

Merry christmas to NSF!

ilovesprouts · 23/12/2009 14:53

merry xmas to you all on here xx

HappyMummyOfOne · 23/12/2009 18:04

Mines gone today, I forgot to put tracking on it to see if it arrives safely but hopefully it will.

LilySwalLoosHerTurkeyBaster · 23/12/2009 18:06

Mine arrived so all good here

andirobobo · 23/12/2009 21:15

Great job NSF and her DH - you deserve a MN award! Merry Christmas to you and your family

magicofchristmas · 24/12/2009 11:26

I'd like to say Merry Christmas to the person who should have received my parcel.

You probably didn't realise you were nominated and I don't know who you are as I still haven't received a match yet, but I do hope your LOs (I have kiddie stuff to send out) and you have a wonderful christmas.

Be assured as soon as I receive matching details in the new year there will be some extra christmas goodies making there way to you.

All the best.
Macic X

magicofchristmas · 24/12/2009 11:28

Do you think santa will bring me a dictionary to help spell my name?

littleboyblue · 24/12/2009 11:28

Norma, please look here

arisHOHOHOcat · 24/12/2009 14:06

Merry Christmas Norma hope you have a good one

Please Please match me up in the New Year

hohoholepew · 24/12/2009 14:13

Oh sorry I posted that I didn't have a match after your post saying no more was going out [makes note to read whole thread]

Have a Happy Christmas!

BitOfFunWithRudolph · 24/12/2009 14:31

Merry Christmas Norma- you have worked so hard, you deserve a break and a stiff drink! Mwah x

MmeherewegoawassailLindt · 24/12/2009 16:18

Merry Christmas, Fletch. Thank you for all your hard work. Hope that you and your family enjoy a wonderful, peaceful Christmas.

NormaStanleyFletcher · 24/12/2009 16:55

I would like to report that I am now having a gin and tonic.

I will send out a general mail checking that people want late matches. I will be in touch

thank you so much for all you have done

Hulababy · 24/12/2009 20:45

My parcel hopefully arrived on Monday and AFAIK was signed for by someone with a similar name to my match (have checked). Really do hope it has been recieved by the right person.
