I know, when i have a headache i convince myself that if i eat naughty food, it will go, of course, it never does and i never learn! Hope it's nothing too bad and that you feel better soon xx

I'm making 4 for me, OH, mum and brother to make a them feel warm and a big smile hopefully! I can't wait to make them all up!

They will contain

Snowman soup x 2 in each
Christmas DVD bought from amazon market place sellers
Fleece blanket bought from Mr T when they were reduced at £2.50 and nice patterns
Lush christmas bath melt/ shower gel closer to the time
HM mince pies/cookies/gingerbread men
Mug - bought in the sales
Comfies and PJs - Primark and B+M bargains
Flannel reindeer each with a nice soap in each they all like from my stocks

Wrapped up in cellophane with a big bow!

Hmmmmm, on second thoughts.....I think i will do one for me too! Little one will then think that Santa sent the elves for both of us, and less likely to question me about how it go there and where it came from

Plus I could do with some new jammys!!

I know what you mean about the stockings, my mum does one for me, my sister, my brother and my little one every year (my brother and sister dont have any kids - well not yet!)

This year my mum and sister will be in Oz, so i wont get my stocking either (which has just occured to me and slightly traumatic! :eek: ) so all the more reason to treat myself to a hamper!! Yay... (my trauma lasted long....im easily bought!)

Icecream really does help though.. And chocolate.. :rotfl:
I've lost my voice, basically. Don't feel exactly ill as such, although my head hurts and I cant swallow anything. :rotfl:

I was going to do my other half one as well as myself, but he doesn't wear pj's, he's not a 'smellies' person, he can't really have chocolate or bad foods due to a condition, he has slippers he has hardly worn..... I guess it's just me then

ooooooooo, a nice tub of B&J's is what the doctor orders

Garlic is really good for colds, my OH used to do me garlic teas before i got the tablets - at least it kept the vampires away

MMMMMM, you just reminded me of cough candies, i used to LOVE those!!
