sounds nice holly!

Leesa - sorry to hear about your mum - make this Christmas a celebration and embrace the fact that you are together - don't grieve for what may not be next year. Enjoy the day. there will be time to grieve when the time comes - for now, embrace every day and make it memorable for the right reasons. hugs

Sarah - we have most of E's present (clothes) - still want to get her a clam for kicking around in when it's warm. will get that just before Christmas. have to buy for two of my bro's kids - nephew is getting a skateboarding helmet when his dad tells us which one to get - the 9 year old girl - i'm stumped! DH has already been given his present (fleetwood mac tix) - but i'll get him something small for under the tree. i'm waiting for him to ask what i want - i have NFI lol. i did tell him the tix were for christmas and his birthday (turns 45 next year, the old fart) - i'm happy to wait and get something combined for mine (i turn 30 gulp) when we're a little better off financially. as long as E has something, i'm happy!

E is giving everyone photo magnets for their fridges lol cheap, and easy to organise
