;D ;D   Apparently this is the week we all start buying presents on line..........there's enough time for delivery even if you're going away, and it's after everyone has been paid.....I ordered some tings from Amazon last night at 7pm and at 7am today they told me they'd been dispatched.....good eh?? |

I've done about half my cards, the ones that need posting are getting done first so they can all go second class. Was thinking that the cards are cheapish but the postage costs are tremendous! No wonder folk send emails ... but it isn't the same as a card dropping on the mat with a handwritten message is it  Bit sad updating my list, seem to have 'lost' quite a few family members and friends this year  x Tig |

Christmas sometimes brings it all back does'nt it Tig. I always think of my Mum and Dad and all the people who are'nt here any more at this time of year.  I bought some more cards today and have already posted some as well.  I'll maybe write them later.

Amazon will gift wrap for you too if you don't want to do it yourself.
I love wrapping prezzies though and choosing bows and stuff!
Auricula - you are back on her and it isn't the 12th ;D

Thank goodness you have a hold of your principles Auricula ;D
If I left everything to the 12th I'd have a mad panic on my hands this year!

Thanks Jasmine, giving them tickets to the Wiggles won't impress them and I wanted something they might enjoy there and then. I think Aoife is most likely a bit young to realise it's her in the book but she does love books and so does Hannah.
Barbara I've not seen that northpole santa but I'll check it out for sure thanks. ;D

My daughter (now 32) had one of those books when she was little and she surprised me by saying that she still has it. She wants one for Isla but until she has made some friends it'll be a bit of a waste really.
I finished putting the finishing touches to her stocking today..will post a pic when I have a bit more time...
