Update on the Christmas Appeal

[HelenMumsnet]

Thank you to everyone who's mailed us about outstanding Christmas Appeal stuff.

We've sorted most of you out now - although there are a few of you bearing with us very patiently as we check a few details.

The main thing now is to doublecheck that all the loose ends are tidied up and that no one has been missed out by accident.

SO PLEASE CAN EVERYONE WHO CONTACTED CHERRYMONSTER also mail us at [email protected], if you haven't already?

Please mail us even if you're a sender and cherrymonster's already given you a match and you've sent your parcel off.

And even if you're a recipient and have passed on your details and are awaiting/have received a parcel.

The sooner you can do all this, the better. It would be so nice to get this all wrapped up before the month is out.

Oh, and please send any other queries about the Appeal over to us, too - though, hopefully, there shouldn't be much that's outstanding now.

Thanks to all who've purchased, parcelled and posted, both before Christmas and after. And thanks, of course, to Norma (and cherrymonster) for shouldering the huge burden of matching everyone up.

As always with the Christmas Appeal, we're in awe of your kindness and generosity.

I did post something out at the start of the week to a little boy who had been left out, it was before you had all gone to so much effort. I'm just hoping it's been recieved. It was just a couple of books, some chocolate and a rather cool dog t-shirt. They don't have my size

Thankyou bella, I felt so sorry for her poor lad, everyone else recieving something apart from him. I hope he likes them.

cherrymonster please would you reply to the emails we've sent you?

If you haven't received any, please email us at [email protected] and let us know.

Hi.
I participated and sent the gifts out before Xmas - I know they were received and both I and the recipient posted on the original thread. I didn't include the Ref number though, so maybe we never got 'crossed off' as it were?

No, that's fine, escape - you've both been crossed off

And thank you v much for your generosity.

Helen - I sent a report this post message (too lazy to send a proper email), have you got it yet?

ooops, must have missed that, Fab

Thanks for chasing us up. You now have mail.

Um...is this all done now? (sniff)

Not quite, BelledeCFB - nearly there!

(fluffy scuttles off and sits back on the naughty step for calling the postal survey naff)

Hello.

We thought you'd all like to know that everyone who told us they hadn't had a match now has one. And we think everyone who was nominated has either received something or will do pretty shortly.

Hurrah!

And just for the record, we had fewer than 20 people to sort out in the end.

Which, compared to the HUGENESS of the Christmas Appeal in its entirety, is really not that much at all, is it?

So we are in awe of NormaStanleyFletcher's massive efforts before Christmas and want to say, once again, a very, very large thank you to her.

And thank you to the rest of you, too, for all your extremely generous contributions to the Appeal. You are all lovely.

well done NSF for doing the bulk of it and MNHQ for finishing off

Well done Norma (an MNHQ ). It sounds like it was a mammoth task. I hope Norma's OK.

Thankyou Helen Can I come off the naughty step now?
