    Evening all

    Bunny - I remember DD1 wanting everything she saw on telly......xmas morning came and she was always pleased with what she got (which was never what she'd seen on telly)......

    DD2 on the other hand....one year she sat, she opened pressies and each one she looked at she said...." I didn't ask for that".....I could have cried...

    Chalk and cheese and both able to make my blood boil and my heart melt in equal measures.

    Hello lovely lot, how are you all doing?

    I am really starting to lose touch with what is happening with everyone :o

    That's understandable.

    She's not saying "I want you to buy this." she's saying "Aren't these good?" She knows she'll have to get what she's given.

    If she sent you pictures of Ferraris, would you think she wanted one for Christmas?

    No, the only linkys she sends me are coats and cross body handbags. Both things I know she wants for Chrimbo. I've just told her handbags are like sofas, you cant buy em without having a good ole feel :D
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
