    can you bake beanie? does she enjoy food?

    how about a hamper with homemade stuffs? ie cookies, biscuits, flapjacks, etc.

    if not, have you checked out the charity shops? They usually have nice gift sets people have donated.

    How about some IOUS on pretty xmas paper? - IOU a cup of tea and cake every week?

    IOU a smile and a bg hug when I see you each time?

    something that will make her smile?

    can you do a calendar with pics of you and DS?

    can find a template for you. You just need to stick on photos.

    One last quote of this pic in case Steve checks in on his mobile ;);) I am still wondering where their hands are :eek: :eek: Very friendly aren't they ;)

    Well, I have finished a bottle of white wine off, half 'n' half with Peps! Max so I am off to bed now. I have to go into town to cash 'me giro' and go to the bank, but that's all my plans for [STRIKE]tomorrow[/STRIKE] today. There is a Christmas Market on in town so it will be busy but will have a little look around when I am there

    I am almost falling asleep on my laptop, so I'd best get to bed, night night guys

    Evening all - it's the first time I've gone online today. Mr 3Dogs felt much better this morning and texted s/world consultant that we should be going this afternoon ............ got up lunch time, went in bathroom to have shower, came straight back out and back to bed as the sciatica pain came back as soon as he straightened right up, so I texted consultant to say we couldn't make it after all. I rang to surgery and the doc was back at work, so requested a callback and then I took the dogs out in the rain. When I got back, doc had already rang and said he'd leave more Oram0rph and some anti-inflammatories, plus he needs to see him so made an appointment for 12.30 Thursday, and he is probably going to refer him to a specialist, so might get sorted out

    I went into town, cashed my ESA cheque/giro, put yet more forms/paperwork into council for HB/CTB, went to back to put cheque in I got from Mam & Brother for Christmas, went back across to where I parked the car, realised I hadn't paid any of the cash from ESA into bank, so trecked back across to do that, then back to car, over to docs to pick up new meds for Alan, then to Asda to return gifts Linda had bought for her Dad, and home ...... all in the pouring rain :(
