    Kazw - I think i'm repeating what's already been suggested but here goes: little hairbrush/comb set, hair bobbles, stamping set, pretty pad/pen, skipping rope, puzzle/jigsaw, snap or similar card came, little doll. Hope that helps.

    Just finished dinner. Christmas quite organised now but house isn't so I need to get back with the list tomorrow after hospital appointment for DS and then work until 330. Parents having children for tea so hope to do a little then.

    Hi thanks to the crew for keeping the thread going. Didn't do too well last week as only managed to get one day in. Still seem to be ridiculously busy at work and having to bring reading and research home so when i do have down time i want to spend it with dh and the kids. B12 inj also overdue so falling asleep if i sit down. Was hoping to do a little bit each night then blitz on Thursday and Friday as had toil time booked which has now been reduced to just Friday! Anyway intentions are there which is better than the last few months. Nice to see ladylib posting and Ian for msd . Hugs for boddy and lots of love to everyone. I promise i will fly at some point this week!

    Hi All, it's Ian, Money Saving Divas OH

    Hi Sweetie, nice to see you here ;)

    Thanks everyone for lighting candles it was lovely to see so many, special thanks to Dusty for being thoughtful & providing the link :A xx

    Some of you may remember we wore something purple in tribute to Diva for her funeral & many of us still have the purple avatars :D ... well Ian & I thought it may be a nice idea to do the same again on Friday .. it would be a lovely way for the "fly family" to be included as we scatter Sonja's ashes & I know she would be thrilled to think you were all there with her/us.

    Apologies to FCC for a non-flying post :)

    Love & hugs to all & as Ian said we appreciate all the support ... thanks xxx

    KAZWOOKIE pressies for 4yr old light and easy and go down very well are fuzzy felts. One favourite is some small colouring like sheets that are plastic like and come with a pen you fill with water (to fill the pen you have to screw the end off the wrong way) when you apply the water the picture shows and in about half an hour they dry and the pic disapears ready to use again. They come in Dora explorer, peppa pig and others. They are called aquadraw mini mats, the make is Tomy, and have been used over and over again for the last 4 years. Small jigsaws with 6 pieces or more up to 24 pieces at that age. They sell them in wilkinsons and home bargains, little sets with various pieces. Another that is still popular is a glove puppet, light and great for imaginative play. HTH
    Hugs and spoons and sticks, extra special hugs for those who need them xxxxxxx

    I'm struggling to stay awake! I have to pick up DS1 from work when he text's. He thinks it will be at 11.30 but he said that about his morning shift and it finished at 12.30.

    Tea has been drunk by the gallon (I'll be on the loo all night) and I've done 2 x HHI trying to stay awake. I've moved around my dining room to the detriment of my back.

    Diva's candles look very impressive. It makes me so happy to think what a fantastic bunch of caring people we are on this thread.

    I've snookered myself for the microwave/combi oven repair man coming on Wednesday. I must go to work as I didn't go today and I forgot that DS3 is running in the cross country finals in the afternoon. That coupled with DS2 being off school I am having to call in lots of favours from MIL and DD1.

    I hope everyone has a good night sleep and I hope very much to get to bed in the next hour.

    Morning All

    Stupid dog woke me up at 4am because he wanted to go out - well if he hadn't pinched 12 raw sausages that I'd forgotten to put back in the fridge before I went to Beavers and eaten half a tub of marg and emptied the bin - maybe he wouldn't have needed to go out! I then thought that I hadn't better go back to sleep in case I didn't wake up again.

    Just been checking my emails but I'm going to get up in a min. Bin day today so I need to put the recycling out.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    JJs list is really challenging me this week, not going to finish a 100% week but it's making me think differently thanks Jue :) I've managed to declutter a pile of car manuals (yes I even collect those) to DPs garage, they're working on some classics I had books for or books for similar . Some OU books being loaned out. Some golfing books going to be rehomed as acquired those in a box of books I wanted

    Puppy is being VERY challenging last couple of nights, awake at 5am, 4.5 hours after bring put to bed shouting the house down, little monkey. I'm hiding upstairs feeling mean but he has to learn. Got loads I need to get done but holding out

    DS2 has his therapy session this morning so I will take my study book as I've got an assignment looming. Want to achieve kitchen bench clearing today, so much gibble been dumped an it's such a tiny tiny space that I need to do so much in. Kids have got like DP and see it as my kitchen and my problem

    Have a good day all xx
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Morning all

    Mumto5 hope you did not have to stay up too late.

    My week has got much busier now than planned so today I intend to be as productive as possible flying and gardening wise.
