well dd2. already had an amazon list it turns out lol just gone on a moneysaving hunt for the items she has on it ..... £16 the whole total lol it was triple that on amazon. Guess its given me an idea of what she wants though, so i can add to it..

dd3 on the other hand... i had to rein her in. theres no chance i would get a 13yr old an iphone, tv and the rest she originally thought she could ask for lol.

dd4 is easy. leaving her to last really. Though her bdays first.

Schools nearly back yay lol i can have my house back and can decorate in peace.

That made me smile, my dd is 12.5 and I asked her the other day to imagine it was Christmas morning and tell me what she'd opened. I thought I could get some clues whilst her imagination ran riot, but the first box she told me she opened had a puppy in it. :eek: (not happening!)

She also had ipads and iphones in her make believe land . She does have an iphone though as a family friend was selling an old model so she got it for her birthday, when I pointed this out, she said there was a new battery for it as hers takes ages to charge - that was more like the idea I was looking for and the new ipad is likely to come in the form of repairing her old ones screen.

We are off to France tomorrow and returning the day before kids return to school, so all sorted for Uniform etc. Am hoping there's some different stocking bits I can pick up whilst there.

Evening everyone, it is really chilly here tonight i have closed windows that have been open virtually all summer and have a wrap around my shoulders

BETTERLIFE oh phew i did wonder if i had imagined it :rotfl:yes these were just tucked in between all the biscuits and shortbread. Wow you did get some good bargains while out shopping it did make me giggle about your christmas cake being covered in chocolate i have never heard of that before, i cant believe i have never even thought of that :rotfl::rotfl:

LAZYSHEEP it was me who wanted those christmas bags you arent going mad i did get the email with them as the TSV and i didnt even click it was the 25th already doh!!!! I thought it was weird a christmas tsv this early, i really love them but i cant justify spending out £25 inc postage, i hope they start selling them on the high street soon

NEWTHRIFT i bet you had great fun, i remember my lot going years ago they absolutely loved it

PRINCESSKITTY yes you get to a certain level and you get extra stars for the number of posts, oh i did giggle at your story about the waitrose christmas bag its the type of thing i would do and then realise later what a twit i am :rotfl::rotfl:I would too love to cruise the Fjords i would also love to go on a cruise to see the northern lights but that definitely is dreaming

LINZ oh i am so glad baba finally has some medication that works, my DD2 is struggling with her little one with constipation too, he has been on meds, seen a chiropractor and all sorts poor little thing

GETTINGTHEREQUICKLY thanks for letting us know about JJ

KIWI oh what a rough few months you have had, im so glad another little doggie is making you happy again

MSGIGGLEWICK i love kids christmas lists, we had friends once whose little boy used to go through the argos book and copy word for word the whole description, one year he asked for a Sledgehammer it was hilarious

SPENDLESS have a great holiday

MRSMONEYPENNY haha of course you can my lovely hows DGS? Hope you had a lovely holiday!

mrs-moneypenny

Thank you DGS is now 4 mths and as cute as a button! He's still a big lad at just over 18lbs when weighed today.
Holiday was lovely we had DD3 her fiance and Ds1 &DS2 in a house with us and DD2 her partner his two children and DGS were just round the corner in another house so we spent most of the week together and had lovely weather.

Was going to say I haven't done anything Christmassy for a while But I've just been on spamazon and was looking for something to take order up to the free delivery and spotted madonnas eau de cologne reduced to £10 down from £40 so got that as a gift as it got good reviews.

Looking forward to ne Christmas reading as both Carole Matthews and trisha Ashley have new Christmas books out this year. I've already picked up quite a few festive reads at the boots sales so have a bit of reading to get through, wondering when is the earliest I can start festive reading.

Oh and it's almost bulb planting time if anyone's doing forced hyachincs as gifts.
