That's a really lovely thing to do.Thanks! That made me smile
My nephews are getting their school holidays today. We are going shopping then going for a giant pizza. This is our 4th year in a row.
The deal is that I don't buy them expensive gifts, we have our day out instead although this year I did pick them up some smashing books also as a surprise.
I also bought Pie Face online but it is looking doubtful that it'll arrive for Christmas, oh well. It'll come when it comes. I'd love to do something like that with my nephew but he lives in another county and he's a bit stuck to his mother so I don't know if he'd go anywhere with me! They must love you! 0 -

Well, I don't like to brag . . . Ha! Those two boys are stuck to me like white on rice and vice versa. They're great ages too. 9 and 11. Full of ideas and bouldness. My kinda guys.
They are my treasures and they love me to bits too. The three of us go bombing around the place with Lucky the dog like some crazed Enid Blyton story. I hope we always love each other this much!0 -
I'm really looking forward to the big day now. Usually at this point of December I feel a bit sad as Christmas time is nearly over but this year I'm so excited about Christmas morning. S asked to go to a toyshop yesterday and as I had to pick some stuff up in the same retail park as our local Smyths I said we could go in for 10 minutes. He went straight to his beloved Batcave and asked if we could buy it there and then. I reminded him that Santa was bring it to him soon and he asked how many days to Christmas. When I told him it was 4 days , he tried to bargain me down to 3.
He played with the Batcave for a few minutes and then went on to the Marvel toys and spent a long time looking at a Spiderman motorbike track set that I have arranged for my parents to give him. Then we went to the games aisle where he had his mind blown by a Star Wars, Angry Birds, Jenga game. It took a long, long time to get the box back off him and he spent the rest of the afternoon telling anyone he could corner about how amazing it is. He was even talking about it in his sleep last night. And guess what's been sitting in his Christmas Eve box for the last 2 weeks?:D:D I feel like ninja master gift arranger! 0 -

Aw. That's amazing!
I wish my guy craved something that much. He keeps forgetting what he asked for!
Although I'm glad this year he asked for something that we could get. Last year he asked for "A wife" for his dinosaur. There was an awful of of head-scratching over that one!0 -

Hi guys have been flat out with work and kids have been sick just been an awful busy last week or two. I want to post a picture but can't see the link to attach files ? Anyone else having this problem ?
Same. After a wonderful year of maternity leave, December has been a bit crap
The baby has been sick a lot, going back to work has been stressful, and we've had issues with our childminder. Today he's very sick with a bad cough/cold and I'm not much better. I think I'll finally relax when we're officially "on holidays" from Christmas Eve! 0 -

Have barely been off my feet all day but the house is spick and span, the fridge is stocked, the laundry is done and the table is laid for tomorrow morning's north pole* breakfast. I can't believe it's almost Christmas Eve, it feels like only two days ago we were getting excited about the toy show.
*Or elf pole as S calls it. 0 -

A bit OT but will you cook the turkey, carve up and then reheat xmas day? I still haven't decided how I'll do mine It would be very handy to just bung it in the oven tomorrow and be done with it 0
