  • It depends on who it is Beanie.

    If it's a sister, personally, I'd say £100 but for cousins etc £35-70 depending on how close you are. In Canada, the rule of thumb is you buy a gift for what your meal would cost a head per person ie. if 2 of you were going, and you have a idea the a meal per person would be about £25 I'd buy a gift for £50. (But then I found people here a wee bit cheaper! LOL)

    Nanna Sammy, congratulations hun !!! Are you OK about it?

    I might have a couple of suitcases of baby clothes in the loft....I'll send DH up when he's in a good mood (we do have at least 7 months I assume :D )

    I ventured out yesterday, did a food shop. While we were out, the elves came in and took the tree down, so I came back to a lovely tidy house. Have been decorationg today, so a very good couple of days in the Spud house :T
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

  • I am seriously thinking about taking a week's unpaid leave to get myself sorted.

    I just don't know what to do first.

    and now Mum is worried.

    !!!! it.
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    sammy runs off to tell DD1 to eat more veg now and no excuses:rotfl:

    Lots don't and miss out, might as well get what she's entitled to. Think Folic acid is good for pregnant ladies.

    no I can't

    my pregnant and so tired friend hinted that we change it to Friday and she burst in to tears.

    Its stupid to held to ransom like that I know but the guilt is more then I can cope with right now.

    At least I had a nap so should be able to stay up late enough to get a chunk done.

    just need to find the mark scheme now!
    thanks tho guys. xx

    Buffy, are these assessments part of the same bunch that you weren't given the correct marking info for?

    You could say you left them on the bus, babysteps, 10 at a time.
