    if noone fancies it, fair do's... i just thought it was a good idea....:o

    I think it's an excellent idea.

    :eek: for bath poops!

    Mel, is there a forest or a field nearby? Make it a survival party and have them all turn up in their oldest clothes, split into teams and give each child a whistle and each team a flag. Massive team hide and seek sort of deal, and then hot dogs and beans cooked on a gas stove or soup from flasks.

    Edit - CAFC - tell me again what I need to do!

    Secret Santa - The Final Plan

    Anyone who would like to be involved with secret santa, please pm me with the following:

    1. Ages of your kids that you'd like involved come Xmas
    2. Any allergies that you or your littles ones suffer from
    3. Address.

    Please note :

    From the preliminary round the following have been set
    You'd be buying a gift for mum and kiddies (the pairings are done based on similar circumstance, e.g multiples with other multiples)

    There is a £10 spending guide (as everyone's budgets are different but a guide means noone feels pressured to spending more than they've got) in total.

    PM's must be received by 10 November so that the pairings can be allocated and gives people plenty of time to shop/post/make

  • I'm very excited about Secret Santa!

    Had a lovely morning at my NCT group. I've known them since our babies were about 7 weeks old, so it is so lovely to now see them all playing together and so grown up.

    I'm very jealous of your monkey meet next week.

    hi all,

    would love to join in on secret santa, but i'm going to be away for the whole month of december and into jan, so will miss it

  • My assistant leaves next week and I think would like to buy her a Pandora bracelet and a charm. I didn't quite realise how expensive they are but she has been wonderful for 5 years so she deserves something special.

    I have left it a bit late though. I need it by Monday at the latest. She leaves on Wednesday but I will be at the Monkey Forest! Can anybody recommend anywhere online for me to buy them with speedy reliable delivery?

    Or does anyone know of any shops in the West Midlands that do them at a reasonable price?

    sorry MFD but i can't help you with stores up in your direction.
    is there a pandora shop in your main shopping centre near you as the prices there do not fluctuate from store to store.

    i got my bracelet a few months ago now.
