    Don't feel bad Monz, your boy will be delighted if he gets what he asked for. What are you doing on the day? If it's just the two of you, you could do a special breakfast or Xmas activity? Start a new tradition? It's the things like that, that kids remember more rather than the gifts they get.

    I have two amazing Christmas memories - one was getting a typewriter that I'd asked the big man for and he'd typed me a letter on it! Second was when it was snowing and my sister climbed a tree in our garden. My dad and I got spades and threw snow at her - there was nowhere for her to go so she had to just take it! haha

    Nothing big or over the top - just amazing, special memories.

    Morning. Had a nice quiet weekend. My son got his heelys on the rules that until I see him being able to use them right in our street (no roads) then he can use them else where. I do not like them!!!

    Bank account took a hit but xmas is finished :)!

    Hurry up payday eh? 16 days xx

    My son has been asking for Heelys too, but he's just going to be 6 this month and i think he's a bit young yet. Maybe I'm being a total grinch but he walks into stuff and falls over without any encouragement from wheels on his shoes! haha

    He has only been on it once and barely since... this weekend though will have him make sure he wears get use of them lol!

    Got a night out Saturday, put £70 aside for this cos I will drink for a change. I never go out normally and no doubt £40 that is blinking taxis cos I live out "boundary" so going to keep it aside just in case.

    He has no luck at all with things like this, hopefully he doesn't end up with black eyes the wee soul.

    It was treacherous this morning!!!

    Poor wee guy - after all the worry about the heelys it was the ice that got him! Hope he's not in too much pain :(
