Following on from the thread that started about shoes and escalated to nearly 500 posts and a boden coat Trinty has emailed me back and we have finalised the list of things needed, if people have these things/have sent them could you post on here so I can amend the list and ensure Trinity doesnt get 345 sippy cups but no tights for dd2

Trinity's wish list
Tights - ages 9-10, 4-5/5-6, 2-3/3-4
socks - sizes 6, 8 and 10
sippy cups -
sheets - single/double or kingsize
bedding - single/double/kingsize
clothes 12/14
adult shoes - size 6,
baby clothes for DSS2's May arrival,
towels
forks
asda vouchers,
chick lit
John Grisham
Toys for the dog to chew :-)
Large saucepans (lots of people to feed in that house!!)
Beautiful Boden COat - sorted by fab mumsnetters

If anyone would like to donate funds (we have enough to get Trinity her new coat and a little bit spare) the paypal address is [email protected] and anything we collect now will be sent to Trinity as Asda vouchers to help with Christmas food/bits shop (I asked Trinity how she would prefer the funds spent and this was one of the ideas and she would really appreciate this)

Thankyou all!!

Eandh, can you check your email and let me know what you think? Plan to 'shop' tomorrow, whenever you can let me know.

You are a star for co-ordinating this.

Bless you muchly.

Pinkyred thanks for the offer. DSS is not sure what they are having yet - they will know in about 8 weeks I think. I think generally unisex things being sent at the mo though some posters are sending sex specific stuff anyway and telling Trinty to deal appropriately with t e.g. ebay or charity shop it if it turns out not to be useful. Do you want Trinty's address?

PinkyRed · 31/10/2009 22:33

Yes please - but my email address is my rl name, so how can you send it to me? do you have a post-able email address and then I'll email that(sorry to sound paranoid but like to keep my online me and my RL me separate!)

stressed2007 · 31/10/2009 22:40

I gave up on that seperation long time ago - get me on [email protected] Thanks

PeedOffWithNits · 31/10/2009 22:41

pinkyred - do what i did, set up a new free email adress (on yahoo for eg) JUST for MN correspondance.

it is wise to be careful on the internet

PinkyRed · 31/10/2009 22:44

It's not even like I do anything that interesting online! But thanks stressed - will email you now.

cheers

stressed2007 · 31/10/2009 22:52

Thanks. Have replied with the address. Thanks very much. x

BeckyBook · 31/10/2009 23:25

Just a thought (and someone may have already mentioned this) but does anyone know if Trinity has a nice day spa near her? It could be lovely for her to have a voucher for a hot stone treatment/head massage/reflexology session etc.
She probably needs some time out, a treat, where she can just lie back and receive care and attention rather than think about everyone else.
Plus it is something people don't usually organise for themselves.
What do you think?

Snufflebufty · 31/10/2009 23:49

Can someone send me Trinity's address please. I have a heap of clothes that I am getting rid of along with a few other things, as we're moving house. I'd much rather they go to someone who needs them. I think I have a set of 8 matching plates that she can have for a start.

2shoeshissbangwhoosh · 31/10/2009 23:55

I hav ethe address now thankyou

TrinityHasAVampireRhino · 01/11/2009 10:01

phew that was scary for a bit
mn went all wonky and dissapeared

eandh · 01/11/2009 10:35

stressed thanks SO much for helping with addresses/queries etc

knot have replied to email

i think now is the time To stop any further bits being sent to TR

Everyone who has said they will post stuff means we have fulfilled TR's wish list

Had a couple of emails from people who dont wish to be outed and one lovely MNetter has ordered Trinity new pasta bowls from Whittards to be deliverd and another Mumsnetter (not sure if she would like name mentioned or not) had a joint birthday party with her dh and they asked for donations towards a charity, this Mnetter emailed me to say she would like the money to go to TR and has ordered stock pots/towels/a set of plates/dishes etc, new towels, duvet etc so with all teh generosity of every Mumsnetter that has replied to this thread and the previous thread thankyou am sure Trinity will be delighted when all this post arrives (not sure the postman will be though)

REgarding Tesco vouchers - I emailed Tescos who have said they are enforcing the rule that vouchers have to be presented with the clubcard in store so sadly we cannot send vouchers to TR. I am waiting for them to confirm whether if vouchers converted to 'days out etc' these can be used by TR. We will be sending TR a huge Tesco voucher for her christmas food/present shop so that will help immensly (will let you know amounts when I have heard from Boden re the coat- I am going to call them tomorrow to chase and then we can finalise amounts)

Once again a huge thankyou to everyone and if anyone would like to sonate to the Tesco voucher fund, paypal is [email protected] and I will withdraw fund on Wwednesday to sort the coat/vouchers for Trinity

stressed2007 · 01/11/2009 11:06

If you would like to contribute it looks like we are pretty much now only buying (1)tesco vouchers for Trinity to use or (2)trying to convert if we are able to Tesco clubcard vouchers which we might have via our own tesco clubcard accounts for Trinity to use. If you want to contribute for (1) please contribute via the paypal account - someone will post the details of it on here I am sure.
