    One of my luxury purchases is a wooden advent house for mydaughter … we are trying to get into healthier living though so will need ideasrather than chocolate.

    Will continue to read with interest

    Have a look on the crafty crocodile website, under the pocket money toys section they have loads of small toys that would be ideal for a wooden advent house. Even now they are selling Christmas puzzles, notebooks, Christmas pin ball etc. Well worth a look

  • Dotcomgiftshop. They emailed me on Friday and now I'm impatient to get spending my birthday money!
    They call me Dr Worm... I'm interested in things; I'm not a real doctor but I am a real worm. :grin:

    One thing I've done is decided to not buy presents for my brothers and grown up nieces and nephews. I've also decided on the same for birthdays. Everyone will just get a nice card.
    We have a big family with four mostly grown up children, youngest is 17 and have two grandchildren already. With my mum and dad and hubbies mum I just think that's enough to buy for.
    Haven't been brave enough to say it yet but am going to this week that way it gives everyone plenty of notice.
    Off to look at the dot com website:D
