Hypno's reminder that she is doing ok, actually!

I was thinking more about "family" presents - eg a game that the children and their parents could play, rather than buying one present for the parents (usually wine or chocs) and one each for the children....

I will investigate suitable things - I don't want the children to miss out, and I am Godmother to a couple of them, so they are special to me, but it is all about getting the balance right. There are 3 sets of families, plus his parents.

I have returned home to a clean house. V happy, and she is a soda crystals and white vinegar sort of girl, so all very OS I do have a personal challenge to sort out the cupboard under the stairs though, because she was not able to jam Henry back in But.....by next Thursday, it will be ordered and tidy and not a risk to life or limb!

I also came home to find MemoryGirl's book, so will read that this evening....

Hurrah for cleaners :T

We are having discussions at work about things we can make for Christmas, so I'll post anything we come up with. Saving coffee jars (the ones with "Dow" in the title ) is a favourite of one friend, she then fills them with sweets and ties a ribbon around. Plus we are making the hampers inspired by the wonderful DT. I like the cinema evening idea with DVD and popcorn....perhaps a homemade games compendium might be good, packs of cards, jenga etc etc

Don't be too specific - I know for a fact that my SiL reads.....;)

Am so pleased the cleaning has been a success Hypno - you should find it really relieves you of a burden, and you can get ahead in other areas - yes, like planning for Xmas! BTW, is Shred easy to follow? As Mrs R is quite unco-ordinated and rubbish at following instructions....and how mch space do you need? Our sitting room is fairly spacious but if it involves flinging your limbs around, might have to re-organise....am feeling a little temped by Shredding - but is prob a flight of fancy on my part as lack discipline to do formal stuff, really...speaking of of which, must now take my little mutt out for his evening stroll.....

co-ordination is required, but not much space needed. And definitely needs to be done with no chance of an audience.......

But if it appeals, give it a go :j

After all, which audience would be fascinated by things bouncing up and down...

(You forgot to mention the "supportive underwear" or "ocular contusion" choice) :rotfl:
