    I did a c&c today, want to do another one tomorrow but wont let me use the dairy code saying been used the max number of times? thought you could do as many orders as you wanted?

    Is it maybe because it expires today? Might not be valid on shopping picked up tomorrow?

    I need to tell my 10 year old son that santa is not real,(bless him, don't think he gonna be happy) he is going on and on about what santa is getting him, last week he didn't want anything at all, and this week, his list is endless, and I havnt got any of it yet. Luckily OH is around all weekend and not working so we can go off shopping.

    What age did you all tell your DD/DS??

    My 13 year old came to us when he was about 9 and said he knows he not real and has know for ages, so we didn't have to have this talk, but my 10 year old will believe forever I think.

    My parents didn't ever tell me. I figured it out when I was 5 and didn't go to sleep. Heard my parents moving around and snuck downstairs to see a brand new red bike. I guess they could have made excuses and tried to keep me believing but I was stubborn and kept telling them I knew it was them :rotfl:

    Oh CS :rotfl::rotfl: he's still telling me now that 'technically Santa is real.....he's just not the sort of man he was led to believe he was all his life' He has however accepted that we will be buying and paying for his presents, which is something!

    I can almost hear the conversation!!!

    My two believed for an extra year when I said to them .....'do you seriously believe that mummy could have paid for all those presents over the years????' (of course I would never let them know the things I had to go without to get those things!! Ah those were the days that I didnt need to do a diet !)

    I also told them at one point that if they didnt believe then santa wont deliver to them .....can still hear the brain cells mulling that one over ......shall we admit to not believing and risk not getting anything if he does exist!!:rotfl::rotfl:

    oh kids can be such fun!:D
