    Thats my fave! I always get commented on how nice I smell when I wear it too :cool:

    found the puzzles! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390049922598&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123

    BM coul she has a go of anyones roller skates to see how she goes?
    After you posted those jigsaws I ordered them for Charlie, Reece and one for my niece (as well as the matching door plaques!) and they are really lovely, thanks sami

    Ah dont know what happened there, I was just about to post the link for the puzzles and kept saying that my message was too short.

    Seller must be really happy as I have bought 3 so far, one for Henry and 2 for friends children for Christmas.... great as they have unusual names so I know its something they wont get. What do you think would be the oldest child you would buy these for ? Might get another one but not sure whether little girl will think its too young for her?

    Hmm, if I got nephew a puzzle, would I go for Tom or Thomas? Can't gt ones for other kids, names are too long!

    I have a 4 year old neice and a 3 year old nephew, and need ideas! Mum is a teacher, which makes it harder. Also an 11 month old boy. Any ideas?

    Lady from Mental Health team, I brushed off her concerns, but then phoned her back and said I do need help soon. Waiting for a call. I mentu mentioned ined to my Mum how I'm struggling, but made it a bit light hearted but she did say she would always take Toby if needed.

  • BM, the perfume vouchers have only just run out as they were before the No7 ones.

    Also you can buy quite a few No7 things from the general accessories section (make-up brushes, cosmetic sponges, mirror compacts etc) for a pound or two after the £5 voucher.

    Well done you for phoning back :D *hugs*

    Knew your mum would help.. How long until she goes on holiday and how long for? Maybe you could both go up there and let your mum help out with Toby while you have some time to relax and have more bubblebaths :)

    I'd go for Thomas coz I like to use the full sunday name :)
    when you say name too long do you mean expensive or no listing? I've just mailed them to ask for an 11letter listing for Christopher

    I usually get books (Everyone needs Dear Zoo and The Tiger Who Came To Tea). I asked SIL but had no reply (after her shouting at me for not replying to her texts which she sent to the wrong number). I'm browsing Etsy at the moment. I know they like arts and crafts, so might go down that route. I'm thinking stamps? Not sure.

    I think I will go with full name, they always learn them eventually don't they? One name 13 characters, other is 11, but both are hyphenated. I'll try and think of different gifts, I think it is just me who likes to get all matching presents :o
