    Two more Xmas pressies arrived in the post this morning. Book for Dad and a DVD for DS. The problem is hiding them from the kids (13 and 16) DS is getting craftier with his question phrasing to try and find my hiding place and I know that DD has had a good look around the loft. When do they stop looking so I can stop hiding? Mind you I suppose Christmas wouldn't be christmas without trying to stay one step ahead of the kids in the christmas prezzie hunt:)

    I'm 24 - I still risk a sneaky peak if no-ones looking ;)

    I was going to make some mincemeat, but not sure if I can be bothered to go to all the fuss now! My Mum said to just buy the expensive mincemeat from the supermarket - apparently it's got a lot better now.

    Ca anybody vouch for this? If so which brand should I go for?
    We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret and disappointment
