If only these institutions were in some place much nicer, it could mean a lovely lunch break. Nice shops in Terminal 5 at Heathrow.

Not visitable in lunch from the tribunal, sadly. It's not that far, but too far for a quick visit.

The only nearby place is Tesco. The attractions pall rapidly.

Lots of love to you and Mr. Bugs, Bugslet.

Love from me and the dogs Bugslet, I'll be thinking of you making this difficult decision.

I'm watching Phil Spencer, Secret Agent on E4 (I think). The house is horrid, horrid. Poky, dark and cluttered. The garden is oppressive and halfway down what appears to be a woodland cliff face, there is a derelict pigeon loft. Eurgh. At the beginning of the programme, the owners were telling us what a state it was in when they bought it!

I'm really struggling with Christmas gifts. I have until Wednesday to get everything bought and wrapped = I'm in deep trouble. Cash flow has not helped.

I have no idea what to get for DS. He wants something which is not in budget so I think we'll give him some money, but I'm not really happy about the item that he wants to buy - a petrol motored remote control car. Doozer thinks he should be allowed to buy it when he has the money, but it seems such a waste of money. I don't even know where he's going to use it! I'd prefer to give him a gift instead but is it a mum's place to decide? I'm still angry about not ever getting a Mr Frosty.

I suggested before he found the RC car that he and I shared an expensive present, which he initially agreed to, but now he wants the car and H thinks that buying the joint present is a bit selfish on my part. I don't know - I can see his point but I also think that DS will get more pleasure long term.

I don't even know what to get for him as padding. I've bought some stocking fillers for both children but I need some bulk or the Christmas tree is going to look ridiculous this year.

I'm usually so much better than this.

I've got that on. It's a repeat, I've seen this one before.

We decided on Tablets this year and I have managed to secure 3 hudls (60 each using Tesco clubcard double up) but I'm hoping I might find better value yet. For the first time we are letting DKs choose presents for each other with £10 each limit (unless they want to top up from their own money). I am finding it extremely difficult seeing the carp they are choosing, particuarly as they are buying full (= grossly inflated) price rather than looking for bargains. Then we will need a bunch of stocking fillers and also something each from Santa but given the cost of the tablets in needs to be fairly cheap.

For your DS I think it is up to you what you give not what he wants that should determine your choice.
