Well I got her some new clothes and a couple of books. One on understanding Islam written by a woman who was once a catholic nun...

She has gone away today with her Dad to his family - the reason she needs to fast is that she needs to do two "make up" days as she had to drink water on two days of the fast as she forgot to set her alarm and didn't eat breakfast before dawn so therefore she drank when she got up...

Thankyou all for your replies. She is a special girl - sometimes we clash like two cymbals but she is very b eautiful... Very self centred and self serving sometimes and that does me in... But I know why she is like that... Just that I find it a big challenge. I fail miserably often. Then sometimes I succeed!
