The Mystery Fondue Set

Ow... hand cramp. Why is it that when I was a kid I was able to knock out reams of handwritten material with barely more than a callous on my finger, but these days a few minutes with a pen leaves me in agony? Probably the fact that I never pick up a pen other than to do the crossword or buy stuff at Argos.

The cramp has been brought on by writing out thank-you cards to everyone who bought us a gift for the wedding. Once again John Lewis has been a godsend (gah... how lower middle class am I?) by sending us big long lists of who bought what.

Which is fine when people fill in the "from" box with their names. When they (deliberately or by accident) fill it in with "Jane and Simon" rather than their own names, it makes it somewhat vexing. Unless we brought ourselves a fondue set and then wiped our own memories, which I somehow doubt.

So we know someone bought us a lovely fondue set (no really, we wanted one, it's really nice), but we don't know who and I'm worried that they don't realise we don't know, and will think we're horribly ungrateful for not saying thanks.

There's an off chance that it's someone who reads my blog, hence the plea. Who is the Phantom Fondue Buyer? Answers to the email address if you wish to maintain your anonymity!
Anonymous  Can't you solve the Fondue Problem by matching a list of guests against the list of people to whom you have sent a 'Thank you' note?

It may not totally solve it, but it will cut down the problem? 
NH  It took Wifey and I a year to work out who sent us a crystal decanter for our wedding. One poor chap was brow beaten into confessing it was him even though it wasn't. And the person who did give it to us didn't say a helpful thing such as "I hope you like the crystal decanter...I know it wasn't on your list but I thought what the heck!"

No, John Lewis wedding guest lists are not Lower Middle Class...Debenhams wedding guest list is Lower Middle Class. 
Jane  @ Anon - We've done that already and are still stumped. 
sophie green  It wasn't me and Thom, we bought you ladycups!

Thanks for the Thanks in Advance.
