So lovely to read about your yougest DGS, LC 2, I can imagine their little faces. :A I'm thinking of you right now.
I don't have time for comments this time of year jakes-mum, too busy, definitely not rude.
Oh...lovely, Gap! It's good when bosses stump up for the Christmas 'dos', it help staff moral too. So, if you're also a member of SPC Gap's boss, she appreciates you! :grinheart
Oh Flip, they're gorgeous, I bet your little ones are chuffed to bits with them. I lov the look on Percy's face - possibly a bit cheesed off as he never get's fed..or does he??? He looks so cute.
VERY well done, cashless_wonder, not to cashless after all.
You may even get your "pot of dreams" pot before Christmas, catwoman, they're very quick, though obviously far more busy now with Christmas so soon.
Things do look promising for next Christmas, Stressed, you kiddies will have a whale of a time...Stressed mum too I hope! I'm sure those were £2s meant for down here though!
How many chooks have you got, zafiro? Come spring time I can see we will be racing each other. Ours are just going 'off' now after a terrific season.
You & I are the same, Hiddenidenity, though we may need to go in once more, otherwise precious little at the mo.
Not a bad sum, toriaterrier.

If you do give them £2 coins, you could always wrap them individually and put them in a stockingWe did this with a few £1 coins with DH's niece and nephew when they were young and used a load of cellotape, oooo it was funny watching them try to get them open :rotfl:

We did something similar at Easter hiding them in little plastic eggs around the house. I don't think they'll ever grow up until I do !!
