    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.

    Had to tell my son when he was eleven. He was getting teased at school but he was telling them they were wrong as he had seen the real Santa! Might have been our fault as we took the kids to see him in Lapland 3 years previously, enough to convince anyone :D That was a difficult conversation with a lot of explaining to do though :(

  • When my daughter was at secondary school she begged me to tell her if there was a Father Christmas or not. I didn't really know what to say but decided to tell her the truth and she threw her arms around me and thanked me for all the wonderful presents she'd had every year. She still believed because she thought that we could never
    have afforded what was in her stocking!

    :j:j:j Thank you so much I forgot that, I got 8 so I am OK to get it...

    so just to clarify guys...

    1 - Buy 8 of the bogof jus-rol for collection tomorrow

    2 - don't forget the free special k porridge

    3 - use the code for tomorrow for £3 off dairy (basket sees a £12 spend but is only £6 after bogof)

    4 - Pay £3 for 8 packs (freezable too:D)

    5 - And claim a £5 giftcard on jusrolrewards.co.uk

    I make that better than free? After the giftcard obviously!

    :j:j:j:j:j

    Post created from input by helen, bubbs and logie and me!:T:T:T

    I should add that the other rewards are really nice and you don't need many points to claim something good...
    :) Learn from the past, enjoy and appreciate the present and work to make your future the best it can possibly be :)

    And get lots of glitches!
