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

DD1 has taken her little baby doll to bed with her again tonight

I feel a bit awkward writing this. I was told I was nominated for this tonight by a lovely mnter but I have not recieved anything. If something was sent by someone I didn't want them to think that I am so ungrateful as to not say how appreciative I am or to say thankyou (if this makes sense).

Thankyou for the very kind thought.

FluffyForLifeNotJustForXmas · 02/01/2010 00:34

Oh god, I've killed the thread now. I'm so sorry

JeremyVile · 02/01/2010 00:48

Hvae you read any of the appeal threads? It seems there are some donors still to send, for various reasons.

FluffyForLifeNotJustForXmas · 02/01/2010 00:58

I did read the first few pages

JeremyVile · 02/01/2010 01:13

Ah...read on!
Poor Norma has done a fantastic job but it seems that the sheer size and logistics of the appeal along with unexpected rl demands mean that some of the matches came after christms so there are still donations going out.

FluffyForLifeNotJustForXmas · 02/01/2010 01:21

Ahh, I'm even more now. I had visions of a mnter thinking I was an ungrateful cow that couldn't even be bothered to say thankyou.

Poor Norma. I take my hat off to you for doing the appeal this year

Thankyou Jeremy

I'm still sitting with a santa sack full of stuff waiting for a match fluffy.

Hopefully soon I will hear.

The stuff has travelled all over the country with me in case I was matched while away over the festive season and now its back at its usual place.

09373santa · 02/01/2010 09:59

Just want to check that our gift has arrived for 09373.

reallywoundup · 02/01/2010 10:56

REF 09320

Many many thanks, postie just rang the bell and presented me with your parcel, me and dh looked a bit and he wanted to know what i'd ordered 'this time'!

I shall appreciate the gift fully in a few weeks time when i am fully healed (recent surgery!) But i am very grateful to you and whoever nominated me.

merry christmas! (belatedly!)

christmasyspirit · 02/01/2010 13:47

PDR- Your gift arrived today, thankyou so so much. I am so very grateful for your generocity (sp?) I really cannot find the words to express how I feel

I am vowing to put away one or two pounds a week so that come next christmas I can help another family to feel the spirit of christmas too

PDR · 02/01/2010 14:24

Christmasyspirit I am so glad you are pleased. I get so much from this site that it has been nice to give something back.

Lots of New Year wishes to you and your girls!

2shoes- I really hope you like the gifts and get some use out of them, I'm sorry it couldn't be more, but things are tough in our house too this Christmas. Happy Christmas to you and dd, and thanks to Norma for doing all this- it's a lovely way of spreading some joy smile

just seen this and thank you, the gifts were lovely and you made my christmas, thank you so much

MNSantaFor09164 · 03/01/2010 10:04

09164

Did anyone recieve this parcel? Would just like to confirm the parcel was definitely recieved and signed for by the correct person.

FabIsGoingToBeFabIn2010 · 04/01/2010 12:27

Bump as this is no longer a sticky.

MerlinsBeard · 04/01/2010 12:43

Glad you found it FAB.

Norma - In case you don't see it, there is a thread asking for you here

xmasrec · 04/01/2010 14:27

Recieved a parcel today, not sure who from but it was some fairy wings, angelina book and a cute bag for my dd.

Thankyou so so so much, dd will be thrilled when she gets in from school! a lovely surprise.

09371 · 04/01/2010 14:53

I have to say I am feeling a bit that my parcel has been confirmed as delivered on Christmas Eve but no one has posted to say if they like it or not.

Lilyloo · 04/01/2010 14:57

Someone posted this on another thread thanking a sender for gift

FluffyForLifeNotJustForXmas · 04/01/2010 15:08

I bet they loved it 09371, maybe they just have not been able to post yet

I hope yours find a home soon magicofchristmas, it sounds like it's done some travelling!

I've not heard anything yet.

Alambil · 04/01/2010 15:35

can't be bothered to namechange, so apologies!

I just went to collect a parcel ref 09130 and opened it to much wailing of delight from DS!

He says "did they know it was my favourite? It is, mummy - I LOVE it!"

Thank you very much... you've cheered him up no end!

PS sorry for the delay; today was the first time I could get to the depot

andirobobo · 04/01/2010 21:44

Mine hasnt been 'thanked for' as well - which kind of takes the shine off the lovely feeling I had when I posted my parcel.

I have emailed Fletch to see if she knows whether it has been received or not. Just hoping it was someone who only has infrequent internet use and is maybe not back at work or library yet.

Meglet · 04/01/2010 21:49

SGM Thank you for the card & vouchers , the last of the Xmas post arrived today!

trace2 · 05/01/2010 10:05

mine should be there too!

09551 · 05/01/2010 10:59

thank you so much to the very kid person who sent me a top shop voucher.
It was very kind of you thank you
