(((hugs))) i woke up on xmas day last year to the news that my nana had died it was my worst xmas yet! spent all day putting on a brave face for the kids when inside i just wanted to crumble

I am very sorry to hear of your loss. We posted at the same time, and now I feel my foam shapes are rather inappropriate.:o

I hope this Christmas is better. It is very hard when someones dies on a Special Day.
My dd and niece shared a birthday. Sadly my niece died when she was 6. It was so hard for everyone the following year, when we celebrated dds birthday, knowing it should have been a shared day.:(

I think everybody has misunderstood what I said about the tree biscuit tin.
I didn't get one as there is nowhere to keep sweets or toffees in it. When you take the top off everything would fall out. I wanted to be able to use it again as storage.

not sure if this has already been mentioned as im working my way through the posts, but could you not tip it upside down to put in/take things out?

My dd is known as Calamity Jane in our family. It wouldn't last 5 minutes if she had to pick it up to use it :rotfl:

Sending lots of positive thoughts to those that need them especially those who are not having an easy time of it or Christmas can be a difficult time of year for.

Can anyone help? My niece has asked for the gross science set or something equally gross, horrible and gruesome! There are quite a few around and I want to get her a good one, has anyone bought/tried them? Any that you can recommend or is the "Gross Science" set that's currently advertised on TV the better one? Any help appreciated!

....oh with regards to the Asda ad has anyone actually found out what is said as I also took it that it was basically Mums who do it all and was quite miffed when I saw it, just want to be on my guard if the kids say anything!

Also sympathise with difficult first christmas's, hope you all have loving support from your family which should help ease the pain, if only a little.

with regard to the gross science...i'm sure some one mentioned that poundland do the horrible histories book..might be good for a top up if you were think of doing that? HTH

Good evening fellow Christmas lovers!!! Haven't had chance to catch up yet today but I just thought I'd pop on and let everyone know I had my 20 week scan today and I'm having a little boy (possibly not the most exciting thing you've read today but as the last 8 babies born in my family have been girls this is a big bit of news for my family!) Right off I go to catch up......

HUGE congratulations xxxx

*hugs* I can't begin to imagine how that felt... I hope you have a happier Christmas this year, although your nana will obviously be on your mind. Hopefully you can celebrate her life as part of Christmas, rather than feeling sad.




My post feels unfitting after that.

thank you, i have a little something im working on for 'her'

i can imagine that was a hard day for all family members torn in two ways between greif and joy, very sad x

ps i liked the foam shapes, its the kind of things i get for my kids to make cards/general crafts
