    My word !!!!! Wasn't expecting that lot !!!!!!!!!!!:hello:

    Thanks very much.....................nope - it wasn;t a particularly good day due to young lad we've got causing havoc..........however, made my day this afternoon when ex foster lad and two of his mates called to see us. We had a good laugh and it restored my faith in what I do............:j

    They've just gone so only just seen this lot.................a bonus 'make my day'.........................thankyou so much...........you lot, believe it or not, somehow manage to keep me sane !!!!!!!!!!:rotfl:

    Sorry Mary, blame me, I saw one of your posts where you mentioned your birthday, I am just sorry it is late :(

    I know exactly what you mean about everyone on here keeping you sane, I feel exactly the same :)

    Oooh a hamper, how lovely ... I think I am going to ask OH for some money, then I will go out and buy things I would like and give him a basket and say there you go thats my christmas pressy lol ... he is moaning cause I am 3/4's of the presents are bought and ready some of them can't be done til a few days before christmas (will buy the sweets then) and then I have the kids to buy more for (I have some bits put away from the Jan sales) Then I have OH to buy for but I know what I am getting him it is just sorting the money to do it.

    What was in your hamper Mary?

    A belated 'happy birthday' to you Mary.
    If I had of known earlier, I could of wrapped you up one of my toilet rolls in birthday paper, changed the verse slightly and posted it off to you :rotfl:

    rainmac - isn't there a saying along the lines of 'you have to be mad to stay sane'.............I'm sure I've read that somewhere - or similar (probably now lurking at the bottom of a 'quotes in a tin'.....................lol

    Rusty - I got the same problem with a lot of stuff needing sweets to put in and I don;t want to put them in too soon and have them go all sticky - so, empty tins kicking about everywhere and getting knocked over etc......:rotfl:
    Hamper had all sorts of bath and beauty goodies but she was very kind - no anti'wrinkle cream (maybe she thinks its a bit late for that.....lol) Little does she know I got a load of freebies for her birthday one in November that are anti-angeing (or supposed to be!) :j

    sweetnskint - you're so right. People here are really so friendly I feel I've known them a lifetime...............so, bless you all:A

    candy - if you'd sent me a loo roll OH would have been totally convinced that I've logged on to 'nutters anonymous'......................lol :rotfl: (haven't told him about the loo rolls yet - am thinking I just might give him one for xmas.................lol:rotfl:
