    I really do not need any body mist. Don't really need any perfume as have plenty. Could buy DS2 some of his aftershave for Xmas but as yet don't know what else he might ask for. My kids only get one well thought out gift these days same for grandchildren so one I have 'The List' I can probably do Xmas in an hour online.
    Dgd has been an absolute angel today. She did Shred and the London aquarium with mummy before meeting me and we had to run for train. Little ray of sunshine and bath and bed as good as gold.
    Tomorrow all planned out. Think she might be tucking grandma in tomorrow night.

    N such a shame did not know about lion king open air screening at zoo tomorrow or we could have all gone. They have Jurassic park planned soon as well.

    I am a big believer in pensions matty.......particularly when your employer us making a good contribution.

    My view is " don't put all your eggs in one basket". Pensions, savings, investments, shares, property....go for a balanced portfolio and you will weather all storms:)

    Employer's contributions = free money which us lot love! I agree you need a varied portfolio to weather all the storms. Only wish my oh's first had not gone bust taking our money with them.

    Hope you all have your TableTable cards :)

    You get 250 points when you activate a new card. We seem to get a free meal for two about 3 times a year. You swap 500 points for 2 meals. Our drinks seems to pay for our next free meal.. The burgers are particularly good value:)

    I don't even know what TableTable is. Is it another northern thing to add to the list of things we don't have down here?

    Thanks for the s/d info.

    Just ordered the small Ted Bakers 30ml, 3 women's and 2 men's for £20. Not as good as the large sizes but they are oos so decided that £4 each was still a good buy for the present draw.

    Thanks again.

    Evening peeps, off to catch up.....
