Thank you SO much for my present, which arrived today. I am going to keep it to open till Christmas, if that's OK (please let me know if it needs opening earlier!) but most of all I'm all touched and teary that you've done this.

Xmas2014MN5098 you are so welcome! I've had lovely things happen to me so I see it as passing the warm fuzzy feeling on, like a big virtual unmumsnetty hug xx

Thank you so very very much. DS's parcel isn't here yet but wanted to let you know the first had arrived. It arrived with perfect timing (I was having a nightmare day and had run out of all caffeine sources which is of course a national emergency so it was doubly lovely). Have an amazing christmas Xmas Grin

I posted it yesterday and it needs to be Signed For (Royal Mail). So, with luck it should arrive soon.

I hope this is not too inconvenient for you. I used the MN label - but I changed the wording to 'The Occupier'. Hope this is OK? Apparently, in the past Royal Mail have been a bit 'iffy' about releasing something addressed to 'The Mumsnetter Of The House' if you have to go to a Sorting Office to collect it - given that your ID doesn't name you as 'The Mumsnetter' Xmas Grin

Any problems, PM me.

Happy Christmas Flowers

I posted it yesterday and it needs to be Signed For (Royal Mail). So, with luck it should arrive soon.

I hope this is not too inconvenient for you. I used the MN label - and as you have given your surname, hopefully this should not be a problem if you have to go to a Sorting Office to collect it. Any problems, PM me.

I have written you a separate note to express my sorrow. To say 'Happy Christmas' seems a little trite - but I hope you, and your family, can get through this difficult time. Sorry, I'm so useless with 'words' or the right thing to say.

This is when Mumsnetty {{hugs}} come into their own. And also, lots of love. XXX Flowers

Xmas2014MN6805 · 05/12/2014 16:27

Xmas2014SantaB6805 the box arrived today! what lovely things you picked for us all! just checking whether it is just the one box, as on the top it said 1 of 2 but on the Parcelforce it said 1 of 1. The guy double checked the van but it was only one parcel... Hope that's right and nothing has gone missing! Thank you so much! Not sure whether some items will survive until Christmas Wink

I have had an email to say that the main gifts should be delivered tomorrow. I am also hoping that the extra, for the whole family gift, has arrived by now? If not, hopefully in the next couple of days.

Hopefully your parcel has arrived safe and well. I realised I hadn't put my donor number on the bag after posting. The printed label contained some of your notes about moving!

Anyway it's in a blue parcel bag and I hope it's suitable xxx

Thank you SO much Flowers

An enormous thank you for the generous and lovely gift. It means so much to be able so spoil DS for his first Christmas and I will be buying something extra special now. Thank you, a huge Happy Christmas to you and your family.

Dear kind xmas2014 Santa A2723

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity.

I can't believe I was nominated and that there are such kind, thoughtful and considerate folk out there. It arrived yesterday and I've had a warm fuzzy glow ever since. (I also had a little cry when it arrived).

We have had a crappy year but it's things like this that restore my faith in human nature. I hope that doesn't sound over the top but I was feeling a bit blue yesterday then your gift arrived - perfectly timed.

I'm saving the children's presents for Christmas Day, and my square one. But the other one was spookily on my list of things I needed, so thank you... You are so kind and I hope you have a wonderful and very merry Christmas. Thanks Wine

Lovely chops xxxxxxxx

Dear Xmas2014Santa1465. Thank you so much for the lovely presents. The kids will be so excited when I tell them. I feel so touched. I hope you have a lovely Christmas. XXX

Xmas2014Santa1465 · 05/12/2014 20:14

You're welcome! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and the DC like their gifts xxx

Xmas2014SantaB6805 · 05/12/2014 20:21

Xmas2014MN6805 - there is one more thing to come, which wouldn't fit in the box! I'm amazed that the box arrived first, to be honest! I hope you and your girls enjoy everything xx

SantaA2723 · 05/12/2014 20:38

lovely chops
So so pleased it arrived & so glad you like what you've opened. It has been a complete pleasure to send you those few bits. I've been thinking of you & your family often and will continue to, & I really hope 2015 is loads better for you all.
I am so sorry for the utterly non Christmassy (& slightly shit) postcard - can you tell I was rushed at the Post Office!
Merry Christmas.X

Dear Xmas2014SantaC1706

Thank you so much for your gift! I'm feeling really dumb that I don't understand the message in the card Confused ... Is it Dutch or Welsh everyone else now thinks I'm a total weirdo who can't tell the difference ? I wish I knew who you were too, thank you so much for thinking of me and my family at Christmas. I will buy me something lovely with the voucher.

I really can't express how lovely it is to get a random gift in the post. I'm really touched and really grateful!

Ok, it might not be mumsnet approved but here ---> X a big Christmas kiss (probably a bit licky if it comes from DS; sorry about that)

Xmas2014SantaC1706 · 05/12/2014 21:17

Check the return address on the envelope for a clue, if you have thrown that already then have you tried googling it? Not Dutch or Welsh Xmas Smile
