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

well some people may be a bit shite at keeping in contact in RL, but that doesn't mean we're not thinking of other people

So glad it brought you some christmas cheer.

Enjoy it with your LO

merry christmas

very true nominator.

I'm sure ds will make sure i enjoy christmas as much as possible

09165 Ds is 9 and DD 5. honeslty i really hadnt expected anything so was shocked.

Thank you whoever nominated me too. Its fabulous that people can be so generous but also its a lovely feeling to know that someone has thought to nominate you in the first place.

Im really crap at finding teh words to describe how gratefull i am. but i am, i really really am.

thank you

Reference 09560

I have just taken delivery of an Amazon parcel with the above reference.

I just want to say a massive thank you for this, DD will absolutely love hers and I'd been looking for some new reading material - my book looks fab!

To know that 'strangers' are thinking about us and showing this via such acts of kindness, is overwhelming. I really cant thank you enough, you have made my Christmas!

Whoever you are, I hope you and yours have a truly wonderful Christmas, you are such lovely people xxxx

Ref. 09164 - hope you have recieved the parcel okay. Just so you are aware, my parcel is for your 6y DD - apparently you have other matches for the other children.

Thank you so much to Mn-er Ref 09303, was recieved this morning.

Thank you for the books, pens, glow sticks for the dc. They are going to love them on Christmas morning. We are going to enjoy the alcohol tomorrow evening once the children are in bed.

You really have made my Christmas.

Thank you so much, from all the family.

ANOTHER parcel!!!
Thank you so very much! The baby looks sooo sweet in his stripy socks and the toys are BRILLIANT!

You are all so kind...I must stop crying before the boys see me...

Ref 09750

I have been on MN for almost five years now, and I have in previous years, taken part in the Secret Santa on the giving side. So I do know how wonderful this annual tradition is. But it is very strange and a little bit humbling to be on the other side...
This is the first time I have been nominated - and I want to thank my secret santa from the bottom of my heart.
How very kind and generous of you!
I hope that you and your family have a truly wonderful Christmas and I will be raising a glass to you on Christmas Eve!
I hope 2010 brings all manner of good things to you and all mumsnetters.
You should all be very proud of yourselves x

Glad it arrived was a bit hairy getting to the post office in the snow.
Had hoped to get to the shops to fill it with other things for you but wanted to get it to you before xmas so topped it up with more for your dc's.
Merry xmas to you and all your family. Hope you can find a minute in the day to toast your mum too x

09165 bit of a slight mix up
thought you had 2 sons !
therfore i have items suitable for a boy of 5 [double blush emotion ! ]
and was planning on getting for a boy of 9 this week..
erm..... daughter.... [frantically racks brains ]
will get it sorted in new year
ever so sorry

09562

I received your details yesterday, bless NSF ...i woke up this morn with a temperature and unsightly shakes.... so you won't receive your gift until after xmas.
It will be a New Years gift!

Amamazed
glad that it got to you in time for Christmas. Merry Christmas to you, hope that 2010 is a great year for you.

OMG! OMG!! I have to go to the post office!!! I have parcels apparently to MUMSNETTER!!! I'm so glad they didn't go to my neighbours house, wouldn't have wanted to explain MN, this is MY secret vice ...Will have to come back and report...

09135

Thankyou so much for the gift for my son, we are very grateful

Ref- 09303, so pleased that it got to you on time. I know that it isn't much but hope that it helps/ cheers you up a bit (oh and the booze def will- be careful, it's like juice ).

Anyway, I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy the special memories that you'll have. Thinking of you and wishing you happiness.

Much love all of us x

T2TSanta, Thank you again. I have a bottle of wine ready for a toast for my mum. I have a bunch of flowers to take to the garden of rest tomorrow.

09560 soooo glad it arrived as amazon emailed me to say they might not be able to deliver on time and I was panicking. Sorry for the lack of wrapping paper - was a little short on time. I hope you and your DD enjoy the items.

Merry Christmas love MI and family x

Ref 09346.

Thank you sooo much! The Dc's will be delighted ~ as am I! I didn't expect anything at all, but I certainly didn't expect a gift for me, you are very, very kind , weird how emotional it makes you isn't it?.
I hope you have a really wonderful Christmas and a fabulous 2010.

I'll be so happy when I am in a better place financially so that I can do this for someone too .

Merry Christmas everyone!

To the person that got 09750...

I was expecting my parcel to arrive with its recipient today, although my number is 09570 and just wonder whether it was you and whether I got my numbers mixed up in the rush to get the parcel off

So to prevent any "outing" of either of our identities, was your number written inside a Christmas card which was an origami angel?
If so, apologies for mucking the numbers up.
If not, I'll wait to see if my parcel did arrive as promised!

09570
Thank You for your parcel which arrived today.
I must also thank whoever nominated me also.
Your gifts are so kind and generous that i am lost for words
I hope you and your family have a good Christmas and thank you once again.

09923
I want to thank you for the lovely gifts which arrived today.
My DCs will love them, again thank you very much for your kindness.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Have a good 2010.

maybe09750sender I'm a wee bit confused now....the ref was written in a card with a bauble on. Was a Tesco voucher...has it come to the wrong place? look, CAT me and I can easily post it on to correct recipient.
I wasn't expecting to be nominated, so easy come, easy go as they say!
I'd hate to think of someone else missing out.
