;D well I think that my daughter is looking to move house sometime next year to a bigger one so she will at least have the room...where they live now is a bit too small to entertain..so it looks like its my turn again.....mind you if they do have Christmas at theirs then I have a feeling that I will still be doing the cooking.. |

It's fun though isn't it?
My FiL does the veggies and they bring a big choccie creamy log thing with them as I think I'm the only one that really likes Christmas pud! I do the rest.

;D Bless him, is he looking forward to it Jasmine?
We're all going over to Ruth's for Christmas this year. It'll be a first for us all to be over there together although it'll only be for a few days.

That will be such good fun for you all LG. I don't think the boys are excited as such - I don't know - it's hard to say. It's odd but they've never talked about FC almost as if they don't want to spoil it for me  ;D They've been happy to knock the Tooth Fairy for a few years but FC seems to be a little sacred! I'm excited - can't book out Christmas Eve table at the pub yet though - they'll think I'm mad!! ;D |

GF had expressed delight at a mosiac bowl when out shopping a few weeks ago but didnt buy it so went back to shop and got it for her Christmas present - otherwise it would have been sold
The other present I bought cos was in GC buying winter pansies and a Diary otherwise I dont think would have done so FB
At least not bought any cards or decorations and shops full of them now

Sounds like you did ok 'tho Jasmine. Best to buy clothes when you see them I think, otherwise you go back later and you can't find them. |

I did get the boys some stuff too - new trainers and bags for school.
WH Smiths are only just putting their cards out - quite restrained I thought!
