**Secret Santa 2009 ~ Sent/Received**

[PoppyAnna]

I am so sorry that the last few gifts have not arrived. I am waiting for replies to PM's and I even have a letter to send to one sender who hasn't been on-line for a few weeks. If anyone is a friend of Victoria (Tillybud) on Facebook, could you please PM me

Sorry again that you are still waiting for your gift, it's over a week since the gifts should have been sent out and I'm starting to stress that they won't arrive before Christmas

I love organising these exchanges, but it's a times like these that I wish people wouldn't join in if they aren't able to send their gift out on time

Sorry for the rant, hopefully Santa Mandy will be back soon

Awww....Mand it's not your fault if people's lives take a different turn and it doesn't turn out as expected. You do a great job with these exchanges, don't beat yourself up about it

I agree with Joanne! Mandy, as always, you do us proud with these exchanges and we all love them!

It's so exciting to see what everyone gets and I'm sure the last few gifts will arrive very soon!

Thanks for all your support everyone

I'm just trying to check who is still to Send/Receive their gift. If your name is on here by mistake, then please let me know

Waiting to Send Out

Victoria (Tillybud) - Sent PM, no reply

Waiting for Gift

Andrea (irongirlof12)
Victoria H (Tillybud)
Claire (wideeyes)
Donna (diddldonna)

If you haven't posted your gift out, could you please do so as soon as possible as it should've been sent out by last weekend

If your recipient is still waiting for their gift and you sent it last week, could you please check on-line to find out it's status (& please PM me with the delivery code details and I will send it to your recipient, so they can chase it up)

If you have received a card from the Post Office, and you think it's your present then could you please let us know

And finally, when your gift arrives, please let us know as soon as possible so that your Secret Santa knows it has reached you

Don't forget Merry DISmas day is Sunday 20th (at 2pm for me ), if you want to open your present before Christmas Day

I sent Victoria a letter yesterday, so fingers crossed she'll get it today and will be in touch. I am in the process of getting everyone's delivery details, so if Andrea, Donna and Claire could pop down to their local sorting office (with proof of ID) and see if the postie tried to deliver it, but didn't leave a card

I really hope the final gifts arrive very soon

Just to clarify - I'm Victoria too: I think there's been a bit of confusion on FB as I am friends with some DISers on there (although a few of my friends can't see me since the setting/privacy changes for some reason.)

But I'm Victoria P (with the black cats as my photo) so it's Victoria H you're looking for if you are FB buddies.

I can't see you on FB anymore? You are no longer on my friends list?

Hope the rest of the gifts arrive today.

 

[CustardTart]

Crossing my festive fingers that the last few prezzies arrive today!!!

Hope you hear from Victoria and all is OK, Mandy...

Fingers crossed it's your gift Andrea, but if it isn't will you get them to check if there's another parcel there for you ~ thanks

 

[diddldonna]

I popped down this evening to pick up some items as a card was put through the door today but it wasn't the Secret Santa. I asked if they haven't anything else for me and they have checked and nothing is there, Because i pick up lots of mail from the sorting office they know me by name and they would know if there was anything else for me. Really hope it arrives soon.

I am sorry that so many people are still waiting. I have to agree about Royal Mail though. I am still waiting on my birthday parcel that my parents send a month ago. Normally parcels from them take less than a week to get here.

Mandy, you have done a great job. It is not your fault that Royal Mail has the slow snails working at the moment and that one person seems to have fallen off the face of the earth. You do a wonderful job with those exchanges.

not my parcel it was for DH from parcelforce, and I had to carry the damn thing all the way home too.

I tried at the sorting office as well to make enquiries, but they didn't answer their bell

 

[diddldonna]

I had a card put through the door today and it says they tried to deliver a recorded item today, going to pick it up tomarrow after work, fingers crossed
