    Morning Squizz, you are super organised I am impressed and inspired me to get with it tonight!

    well done you for having a chat to your dad, I think being honest and open about family relationships is very very difficult. I have a very complicated family and although I am the one who talks to everybody there are some very strained relationships!

    I shocked myself a bit how honest I was with him about how he reacts to things - but only because I'm the same, tend to worry about the small things and cope with big things fine.

    Enjoy your wrapping, I was going to watch a Christmassy film but realised I don't have any (really wanted to watch Love Actually :o) but Life of Brian has the wise men at the start... :rotfl:

    Hehe! As long as you don't get 'inspired' by Rowan Atkinson in Love Actually, or it'll take you all night... "a Christmas box!" :rotfl:

    And may I just add.. Alan Rickman.. *swoon*

    Thanks Beanie, I am concerned about what will happen when my grandad does finally go (I don't think it'll be long).. knowing my dad's family there are guaranteed to be arguments and silly behaviour and I know it upsets him.
