I love you guys, lots, really.... but over the last hour I have had 11 emails thanking me for donating to secret santa and giving me my postage label thingy to print.
I get the hint. I will send it. Promise. Please will you stop emailing me now?!
YetAnotherHelenMumsnet · 01/12/2015 11:22
Oooh! Ouch, that's probably about 10 too many right there, we're very sorry! Let us try to get that stopped asap.
YetAnotherHelenMumsnet · 01/12/2015 11:29
There is a Tech on the case. (Apparently slightly tearful, but that's how we like 'em). APOLOGIES once again.
YetAnotherHelenMumsnet · 01/12/2015 11:37
Oh yes, I see no problem in doing that. Kick them while they're down, we like your style. (We will mention it again, yes).

(and the left one's her good one, believe moi. She can ILL AFFORD this.)
YetAnotherHelenMumsnet · 01/12/2015 12:29
UPDATE: Tech has switched off the popup in order to concentrate on the over-enthusiastic email situation. So, every cloud...
Sincere apologies again.
YetAnotherHelenMumsnet · 01/12/2015 13:06
You gotta look at the upside... because of this thread everyone knows that you lot are all lovely and generous and show goodwill to fellow men (excl. Techs, obvs) at Christmas. Some might even say it's a cunning stealth boast, but not me... oh no.
YetAnotherHelenMumsnet · 01/12/2015 14:30
You are not the only one.
SandyMumsnet · 01/12/2015 15:47
The lovely tech team have now identified this glitch and are working on a fix. Meanwhile please visit HERE where you will be able to print the correct address label and indicate when you've sent your gift. Your correct Secret Santa nickname will be on the nominee's address label you use to deliver your gift. Please ignore any duplicate emails and just rely on the info on this page.
Secret Santa is always an administrative challenge, but this error has been a particular faff for you all and we're really very sorry.

@cozietoesie
Go and have some .
What's that you say? Email envy? Mine's a G & T.
SandyMumsnet · 01/12/2015 16:13
I love you all!

(she means goat. Sandy's quite the goat wrestler on the sly.)

@Jetcatisback
Will do. [santa]

Thanks to everyone for being so lovely about the email error from yesterday. Over the years our tech team have worked their magic on Secret Santa and we do hope you can forgive us this small hiccup. [santa]
cozie A big thank you so much for helping everyone out on the thread [santa]
If anyone has any further queries please drop us a mail at [email protected]. Try to avoid using the PMing system as there is a chance that your message will not get picked up if I'm not on duty. [santa]

@SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius
Not at all. The coding system just gives everyone anonymity, but if they choose to share their code with their matched nominee then posting on the thank you thread can be more focused. [santa]
SandyMumsnet · 02/12/2015 15:16
@daisychain01
But for all 6 emails, there is only 1 gift recipient (as their 'narrative' is the same for each email).
Any problems with that?
Hi daisychain01, no problem. You've been matched with only one nominee. So sorry for any confusion. [santa]

I can't make the link to the "thank you" thread work. Is it up and running yet?
