I tried to buy MiL xmas gift yesterday online from M&S

I couldn't see it online (saw it in store last week)

It's smart long cardigan with a collar that looks like a coat £49.99

I've looked under: coats, jackets and cardigans but no luck :-S

I could take a look Gins but would need a FULL description e.g. 'how' long ? belted or buttoned etc. ? Colour ? Knitted or fabric ? What kind of a 'coat collar' ? etc. etc. ;-) :-D

P.S. - Mind you, it may be easier just to nip back and buy it :-D

It was a beige ish colour. Length below the knee, some sort of tight knitted material and had a collar, buttons all the way down the front

Had another look earlier but still no luck

Well, It's definitely not on the website Ginns so you will have to make another trip back. :-(

Thanks for looking Dea, I thought I was going nuts!

I have started buying gifts today, don't normally start until 2 weeks before.

Niece who's 12 - lovely set of nail polish's and a UV polish dryer

Nephew who's 14 - really funky 'hoodie' and some Tommy cologne spray

Can't believe I started so early

I have No 2 sons all in and got the baby's today

No 3 son and partner are getting cinema and restaurant vouchers which I will get nearer Christmas

Went shopping today and have hit the 2500 steps mark which is better than the 200-300 I have been doing when I was ill

Poor wee Star had another lump op yesterday waiting on biopsy results

We went to P and F's for dinner on Wednesday and Star was barking at the door to get to us. she went nuts sitting on my lap and licking my face

Think she missed me lol

My Gawd Linds - I would do 200 - 300 steps on a very good day !!

I cannot imagine managing 2500 !!! - You MUST be getting better !!

Lots of love - keep it up,

Dea Xxx

P.S. - Best wishes also to Star !!

Dea Xxx

Thanks Dea.

I don't manage that every day.

Still waiting on biopsy results for Star

Finally went Christmas shopping yesterday.

I did almost 3600 steps :-)

today we had the girls so didn't match it

Hope you are not 'over-doing' things Linds but SO glad that you are improving. Xxxxx

We are taking the family on that Santa Cruise again today and then treating them all to lunch - It's so windy here you can hardly stand but at least the boat has central; heating so we will all be warm and snuggly inside.

Santa cruise....I remember that from last year.

Hope you all have a good time Dea :-)


Linds <3

Hope everyone enjoyed the Santa cruise Dea

we had the baby today he is coming on a treat now weighs 12lb 10oz

I have just finished writing my Christmas cards

Tomorrow need to get more shopping done so hope the weather behaves itself

Yes, the Santa Cruise was a great success Linds. <3

Hope you enjoyed looking after that lovely little baby.......

Don't overdo the 'shopping' - not long off Christmas now so it will be very busy out there !

Lots of love to all,

Dea Xxx

Glad you enjoyed the santa cruise :-)

Just got the tree up, only took us from 12.30pm!

Had to go and buy new lights as the ones we had were knackered

Worth the effort, it looks lovely

We had to buy new tree lights too !! + many of our old decorations have 'given up the ghost'!!

Have to admit that we are all getting old and will have to renew them before next Christmas !!

Dea Xxx

Dea, I have baubles from late Victorian times, passed down the family and then to me....they are treated like new born babies!

I also have a set of lights from the 60s that my parents had. They plug into a lamp fitting!!!

I don't use them even though they still work. Don't think they will be up todays safety standards!


Edit: I've been looking online and I'm not sure they are Victorian? They came from the US....might be early Edwardian?

Linds, finished shopping yet?

Ginns - them lights which you plugged into the light fitting - I remember them well _ 1960's and very much of a danger nature !!

That's what we did with the iron and the kettle etc. - One power plug and one light socket - that was claiming that we had electricity in the house !!

Everything else hqad to be fitted into the light socxket.............................

Dea x

You plugged a kettle and iron into a light fitting?

Went into the city this morning. Got everyone's gifts except for 1

They had some banging offer on in the Clarins department in Debs......that was the girls sorted :-)

Still waiting for a couple of online orders but apart from that, pretty much sorted
