Hi, another de-lurker here, been reading all the posts so far and have decided to join the party. I have got loads of great ideas and saved money from all the fab peeps in here.
Thank you

Just thought some of you would like to know that Nescafe are doing a Limited Edition Gingerbread Latte in their Cafe! Menu range. It would be perfect for Christmas eve hampers!! (£2 in Mr A) Hths

Thank you Freespirit. I think I might treat myself to the Next one. My OH gave me some money to spend on myself and I think this looks lovely however I will have a look at Amazon-don't know why I didn't think to look there.

welcome Dirtyknees! they sound lovely, will look out for them!

thank you all so much for the kind words and for the support, I really appreciate it I will talk to my manager tonight if I see her, otherwise in the morning - don't think Im on shift with her for a bit now (thank God!!) I hate bad atmospheres but she's really ticked me off now and Ive kind of been mulling it over (ok - obsessing ) all day, so am proper fired up to get it off my chest, but I will be very calm and focussed when Im talking to my manager and not be over emotional - freaking PMT didnt help on Monday as that was probably what made me tearful ... but I guess better that than decking her LOL! xxxxx

Spendless - kids are so awful sometimes, especially girls of that age, I hope your DD is ok - was a bit similar with my DD at that age and its such a horrible feeling *hugs* - thank God at secondary they seem to grow out of that stuff quite quickly as there is so much more to think about, juniors was the worst! xxxx

welcome to all newbies

snugglebunny she sounds a right pain but no doubt your manager is aware of how she is and obviously how well you work as they have just made you permanant so hopefully things will settle down and you won't have to work with her too much
gettingtherequicky glad you had a safe trip. must have been great to see the family though shame they had to cancel the wedding
feisty congrats on getting your finance sorted and the 1st set of keys thing are moving forward hopefully with less to worry about your stress levels will fall and you'll start to feel better soon

I saw these and ordered earlier. I am thinking of covering one for my bedroom with white flowers and ds can chose colour for one for his room (it will keep him busy with little mobility). And the third will be for our dining room, decisions decisions .....

gosh its hard to keep up with this thread!! ive done all my christmas eve bag and christmas stocking stuff for my boy and its all wrapped. ive done my mince meat and my first batch of mince pies are in the oven. will be writing cards soon. im normally organised for christmas but extra organised as could be going into hosp at any moment so need to be done so i can relax. love my sparkly new christmas magazine. cant put it down. i keep all my christmas mags so i can peep back to what ive seen and ill still buy more.
dd came to see my son yesterday but didnt say a word to me, i gave her money and toiletries and she left. she has nothing to say even though she is grossly in the wrong. we all cried when she left. its very upsetting and unsettlling. i need to stop texting her ...i cant stop saying i love you and come back. but she just ignores them all so its heartbreaking.

hugs wuvvies, at least she came round and accepted the things you gave her.
give her time she will realise that you are there for her
