Welcome to the 2009 MN Christmas Appeal Thankyou Thread

First of all thank you very much to my good friend NormaStanlelFletcher for organising the whole thing

Each mumsnetter that receives a parcel will see a number printed on it.

When adding to this thread could you all please mention the number so that the sender knows for definite it was their parcel.

Thank to MNHQ for helping norma with this mammoth task.

A Very Happy Christmas to you all

you need your make your christmas name profile "public"... I think it auto sets to private

TRsPurpleReindeerIsNamedRhino · 05/12/2009 20:28

I think I've done it

I had to set up a profile cause I've never had one

and then add photos

and no I dont like this name as its too long so I made another name and tried to use the profile mover and it said I didn't have a profile

I havent't been emailed with details of who to send my items to. Have I somehow not managed to get added to the list? I did email NFS as well with what I had to give.

NormaStanleyFletcher · 05/12/2009 20:51

sorry for any hold up in matches. RL has been a bugger

I have just received my secret santa gift. I have to apologise for opening it already, but I didn't know it was from MN! (This I suppose is why there is a card on the box
Anyway, about 20 mins ago, a delivery man knocked on the door with a Next box......I was slightly confused to see my name on it as I haven't ordered anything, so I brought it into the living room and opened it. Dp read the card out to me.
My gift ref number is 09170
I got a lovely house plant with some choc and champagne.
I have also posted a thank-you on the other thread but want to make sure my donor sees this.
It really has bought a smile to my face. Thank you so much for your kindness.
My ds's who are 10months and 2.4yrs are now playing with the box and having a great time, so your gift has given the whole family joy.
Thank you. xxx
