    Early night for me. DGD's and DGS decided that they wanted a sleepover again tonight. :D
    School uniforms ready, packed lunch for eldest DGD done. Croissants, pan au chocalat and brioche out of the freezer. These are the nibbles before breakfast.:eek: Then they all want the same thing, Coco pops, scrambled eggs followed by toast and jam (home made). Snack :eek: on the walk to school is a bag of grapes.

    When you posted initially, I tried to check mine... I cannot log in, so I am assuming that we all broke the system today.

    I purchased DS2 and DS3 Christmas jumpers and socks, hair clippers, a hand blender, two hotel fitted sheets for king sized bed, a silver bowl, and 3 bottles of port and 2 bottles of prosecco..... and roast potatoes... :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    The boys love their jumpers, the bowl/sheets/hand blender are packed away for the new house, the port is xmas present for DS2, and the prosecco is mine all mine!

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    OH nearly died when I went into the toy section, so I was kind to him and left. God knows how he is going to cope with small shop.... my list is 26 pages long!
