LOL Pigpen, knowing my family they will certainly NOT go to waste!

So print out

I'd LOVE someone to do me one (a special Christmas hamper) in one of those lovely wicker shopping baskets.. like red riding hood lol.. I'd like chocolates and biscuits and warm fluffy socks and puzzle books and such like in mine

and leave it lying around the house. Even better, print out some pictures and make up a 'how-to' guide.

I tried the 'sitting-with-the-boots-catalogue-and-drawing-marker-pen-circles-round-what-I-like one year, but he didn't get it....

I did that once.. and got everything I hadn't circled!!! DUH!!!!

Normally I write a specific list saying I want this item from this shop and it costs this much.. and does it work... ???... no!!

I've been there and done that - for a number of years my mum got the same pressies year in and year out as it was all my dad could think to get her :rolleyes:

I tend to say "I'd like ..." to people and write my OH a list and take DD shopping and point the things out to her and say "TELL DADDY this one.." sometimes it works :rolleyes:;):rotfl:

Ick, DS2 has the 'cradle crap' again, so off to bed with an olive oily head. He is not amused. I took pictures.

My tummy has just bloated up like a baloon, trying to think what I ate to cause that. So I have an excuse to cuddle up and do nothing tonight. Lazy day!

Every year I ask hubby for a Gypsy Vanner Cob for Christmas and I never get one... never mind.

Thanks Anws Mum I'll have a look in Wilkos, never thought about there, suppose if they do them B&Q might too.

NearlyNewbie first time I've had streak free windows, tired everything and always used to look worse, thats was I was so chuffed. It was an Athea Turner tip, 1 part vingear to 8 parts water. Put it in a spray and wiped off with paper towel HTH

DH not long been in, just finished tea and I'm off for a shower and hair wash as got to be out early tomorrow Xx
