Elite go to Lapland In Time for christmas Eve

Aau, ( and anyone else) can I ask an opinion....

I have a niece expecting her first baby soon, and I obviously want to help them with a gift of some sort. All the big items pram, cot etc have already been sorted, so should I put some money (£100) in a bank account for the baby, or should I give the parents an Asda gift card to buy nappies? How long would £100 worth of nappies last if bought by a muggle??:rotfl:

I'do be grateful for any other ideas.:T

It says "any meal, from any menu" :think:
I might pop in and order a kids meal .......in a doggy bag :rotfl:

Or order
COCHON DE LAIT, CHOU, PURÉE D’OIGNONS, POMME (Assiette of piglet, cabbage, onion puree, apple) - £54, from Le Manoir Aux Quat Saisons Fine Dining Menu ... home delivery, of course:D
A lawyer could have a field day with the semantics of that wording:)

Aww, that's lovely; it takes a lot for a little girl to put aside her unicorns (and witches, as well, in my experience ... little girls of my acquaintance are obsessed with witches ... almost as much as little boys and dinosaurs)

Thanks for that, have switched off and back on and delighted to say I have just typed this on it woohoo! Thanks for the tips folks, really appreciate it, poor with technology and very short on patience

Glad you have got it working s12s :T:T

I have the hudl and had trouble with the first one I had but I rang Tesco direct and they replaced it with a brand new one day after and I have had no trouble with this one.

After your hudl , pc phone etc have done downloads I have learned to switch them off and back on

The little girl who gave away the secret of her friend's dad/boyfriend, was so sweet, and very confident and sure of herself (but not in a spoilt way). Later she said to me 'I've got a frozen watch.'
Me, puzzled: 'A frozen watch? Do you mean put it in the fridge or the freezer?'
Little girl: 'No, silly! It's a watch, from Frozen.'
[shows me the watch with a cartoon princess on the face.]
Me, still puzzled: 'Oh, right...'
Little girl, as if she's explaining to a 2-year-old: 'It's a film ... aren't you a grown-up? I thought all grown-ups had seen Frozen.'
(I still don't know the film:o)

Let it go, let it go , let it go:rotfl::rotfl:

I shudder to think!!! :eek:

But seriously......

Money is good but it would be nice to give them something tangible that they can look back on and say "auntie BareySugar got us that"

I would get them something that will stand the test of time

First photoshoot?
Hand/foot impression? (you can buy DIY kits for a few pounds so you could give one of these as well as a gift card)

And as far as the gift card goes....I would get a mothercard/ELC/or similar giftcard rather than Asda. At least that way it will definitely get spent on the baby

The promise of a babysitter.... or baby wipes / nappies would never be unwelcome
