Leesa I am sorry to hear about your mum! Might I suggest a really special present for her? Kikki K have a book with "Mother" on the cover and it is printed with pages for you to write stuff aboutyour mum and include phots as well. Things like "I didn't know then but do know...", "Favourites from your kitchen" and "My fondest memory of you is...". I did up a book like that for my mum for her birthday this year and she burst into tears, not knowing I felt that way about her. The book is about $20 from memory but it is a really priceless gift that is very personal.

On the present front I am doing really well - everyone else's kids are done but mine LOL! Mum wants a pepper grinder (easy!) and we are doing a KK for the "adult children" in DH's family, so I am impatient to find out who I "get". Ollie and Flynn will get usmmer PJs - they are running around in midriff tops at the moment - but as for pressies it is a hard one. Flynn wants a plane from santa and Ollie is too young to know what is going on but I still want to make a fuss. But I don't want to buy expensive plastic, which seems to make up most kids toys!
