    great that will save me wasting my money on OH's family! I don't know why I bother with them..he can never think of things to buy them so I suggest, 2007 I bought Venture Photography vouchers so they could get family portraits done, they didn't use them and the vouchers ran out £50 down the drain. Last year I did really nice hampers..weren't appreciated. This year they can get nadda..

    If I can get my debts paid off by the end of this year (not likely) I am going to save to take Bea to Lapland maybe 2010 or 2011.

    Aww I'd love to do that. I bet mine would still enjoy it even though they're older. We'd never be able to afford to do it, but I'd like to take mine on a plane, just on a domestic day trip somewhere. Neither on them have ever flown :cool:
