Leap Year Birthdays
Not sure this is the place to post this, but... My daughter is a leap year baby (2004). I have joined a couple of Facebook pages for Leaplings, most of which are based in the US (although I have found one in the UK).

M&S Flowers for Valentines - Yodel!!!!!!!!
So annoyed. My OH ordered me flowers for Valentines as he always does, from M&S who use Yodel. Delivered to my place of work. I normally leave at 4pm so when they text him to say estimated delivery time of parcel was 3-5pm this afternoon he let me know so I could stay on at work. No issue. Now they have just said that…

A warm welcome to old and new friends. What is Santas challenge... We're a lovely thread, may be small but we're good...

Milestone Birthday - Photo to Painting
Hi all, I have a milestone birthday coming up for a family member who is a petrol head and 100% into cars. I wanted to get something special rather than any old gift, and thought about getting some photos of his current / past cars created as a painting or some form of art he can hang up in the garage. I have been googling…

Getting the artificial tree back in the loft
Don't know why I haven't thought of it before, but this year instead of the usual struggle to get the tree in its box out of the loft, then the even more difficult struggle for me to lift it up so OH can drag it back up, tonight I just lifted the 3 separate sections of tree up, OH grabbed them and refilled the box that…

Eco friendly Christmas crackers
I always buy the Christmas crackers for our family Xmas dinner but really don't want to this year: at least a fiver for plastic tat and a tissue paper crown that rips within seconds and the whole lot in the bin at the end! I broached the subject with DD, who hosts, and while on the same page eco wise, she said why don't…
