SS, if you're ever bored in the coming weeks, I may have a Christmas mission for you (if you're not too burned out from previous challenges!)...

Susan hasn't been around lately, hope everything's okay.

BRING IT.

:grouphug: Susan.

Morning.

Aless, 'niceness' is a bit like that in our house too. I think that's why he's been such a stroppy git lately, as he needs quite a lot of affection.

Becles hope you and Charlotte have a nice time at M & S. Are you a mystery shopper?

They were nice haircuts you girls were looking at. I'm the same as Becles though, same cut since school

At the risk of being extremely indelicate and/or revealing too much about our house activities, there are ways of being nice, at least to the man, which do not involve the exact same process as procreation does... they count, at least some of us think they do!
Although that said a gap over a year would have me anxious, not through frustration but for all the other reasons Plus there is something said for being nice to the lady too of course...

A bit early for posts like this.... :eek:

We are nice in other ways too. I think slight fear of pregnancy is at play here too, although getting less so as time passes and gaps would be less scary.

V decided 4 was a good time to get up. She fell asleep down here at 7, about 5 minutes before J got up!

TIA You're lovely clever fairies have been here this morning. Thank you so much, V is looking very cute.

Okay, for the past 4 years I've been quite lazy and had gifts shipped directly to the USA. This year, I want to be more organised and actually buy things and put them together here to send over myself. So weight/size is important, definitely.

Box 1:

Sister - birthday AND Christmas presents. Budget of maybe roughly £20-30 each present. She just got married, so doesn't need anything of that sort. Has sophisticated tastes.

BIL - Christmas, minimal budget - likes art & sports.

Step-nephew - birthday AND Christmas presents. Turning 7 yrs old, minimal budget.


Box 2:

Father - Christmas pressie - as long as decent gift, can be low budget. Likes cigars, BBQing, and new love for touring around with GF in her caravan.

Father's GF - Christmas pressie - not sure of budget, don't want to be too cheap. Possibly will send some jars of chutneys/whatever, so could be a "side gift" too. Not sure of her likes other than the caravan.


DH's family are getting jams/chutneys/preserves this year :rotfl:.

I was 'being nice' to DH through most of the pregnancy and then when Lily was about a week
Now not so much as im either feeling really sick or really tired

Which reminds me, 4 days until my private scan! :j:j

I just won 10SBs by searching 'How to dance the tange' was meant to be 'Tango' :rotfl:
