That's a good idea! Perhaps I can find something similar for OH. Actually, he's just come and said he fancies a "fancy waistcoat" ............. sort of tapestry :-0

Linda .............. been through those, and stationery items, and little note books. :-D

I used to have a problem with FiL Sylvia. One of my successful presents were a couple of books of old photographs of Taunton where he was born. He spent hours looking at them.

Sylvia we used to do adult Christmas stockings and it is hard. I used to put nail polish bath bombs hand cream, mini deoderant, hair gel and those big quality street chocs that you can get - the green triangle one.
Hope that gives you some ideas :-)

Hi everyone
Had a busy couple of days and the next couple look like being busy too!
As you know it was my birthday on Monday then Thursday was my friends and not to be outdone it was my D-I-L's yesterday!

I have also started my Christmas shopping got stuff from NY for my nieces and nephew. Also bought loads for GD we had to buy somerthing to give her when we came home then something for her birthday and also Christmas so at least she is sorted.

Also got stuff for my sons and their GF's just got D-I-L and she will be voucher cos is really hard to buy for :-D

Oh Jonesey!
Thanks for the memories ;-) I can play the video and eat the chocs at the same time :-D

good ideas, guys!!



C .......... I'm the same about designer goods. I do not buy for the name.

I do like some designer makes, because their sizings fit me and feel comfortable on. BUT, I only buy them when they come on sale .......... preferably the season or year end sale, when they are on huge discounts.

I don't buy the"fashion of the moment", so it means nothing to me that I'm wearing last year's, or 10 year's ago, style!

OR - Invite him on here for one of your lovely 'Christmas breakfasts' !!!!"!

Dea xxx

Then we share a problem Sylvs.......mine is exceedingly hard to buy for. :-(


Glad he is 'coming round' though.... :-D



I know just what you mean Dea. I feel the same about 'designer' goods. I won't buy a product just because it has a certain famous name on it, I buy what I feel is right. In fact, one of the handbags my friend didn't want and I now have is, apparently a 'designer' bag.....don't ask me. I ain't a clue and care even less :-D

Buy him a 12 month 'Coffee shop voucher' Sylvs OR a 'meal out voucher' for that lovely restaurant that you go to !!

Dea Xxx

I've already done a lot of our Christmas shopping, and have the ideas for others.

I "buy when I see" ........ so I have been known to buy something in January just because I saw it, and thought it would be ideal for xxxxx

I also have my eyes wide open if we go on holiday to somewhere different, when I can pick up local handcrafts, pottery, etc.

Unfortunately, this has not been one of those years ................. and it's no good asking OH to keep his eyes open while he's in China ...... he's just not programmed to see those opportunities!



OH himself is the problem for me :-D :-D

He has everything, doesn't need anything, etc etc etc!


The other problem this year is that J&M also have Christmas stockings for everyone ............ we never had them for adults, and don't have them when we're on our own. BUT, we do have to join in with them. It's hard looking for stocking items that are not too junky!

Hi Dea

I've finally arrived :-D :-D


OH is doing fine .......... eye is still a little blurry, so he's not driving today. But he did walk down to our coffee shop, then over to the shopping area, and back home. Was out for about an hour.

Had to change his trousers when he got home because they had got so wet!!


I'm not that daft!!!!

Are you there Sylvs ???

How is OH doing ??

Dea xxx

It IS quiet Cynths !!

Just heard the news on the radio - someone has just paid £21 million for some painting or other !!!

That is quite disgusting when there are so many people in the world in need !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There - had my say !!!!!

It won't do any good but it gets it 'off my chest' !!

Dea xxx

Not a clue Gins.....never been there. I'm sure there's someone around who has though!



Dea, I've already got some in and I've taken to buying vouchers each time I go to the supermarket because I give quite a few as gifts. Saves leaving it all to the last minute. :-D


Seems very quite on here today...... :-S

Mornin~~~~~~~~

Dea, I am having the same problem with the PC..white out :-S Im thinking it is something to do with AVG but not sure what/why

Off to Wales later to see family

Advice please........

We are going to take a little break at the start of Nov, off to Ireland. I dont know anything about the place but I want to visit Cavan, where the family came from

Any ideas?????

OOOhhh Cynths,

Wash yer mouth out with soap and water girl !! - Uttering those 'naughty words' at this time of the morning !!!!! :-0 :-0 :-0

My SIL always does her Christmas shopping in the January sales (for the following Christmas!) so she is always well ahead !

I did once try to be good and bought all my Christmas cards in about October - I wrote them all out, addressed them and stuck the stamps on ready ! Could I find them when they needed to be posted ?????????........... NO !!! :-S

I had to start all over again and eventually found them (in the 'safe place' where I had put them) around February !!!

I won't be doing that again ;-) :-D

Dea Xxx

Good morning!

Thank you Sylvs............make that two Ulster fry-ups please... :-D



Hope your computer behaves itself today Dea. :-D


It's sunny here but the sky looks a bit 'threatening'! :-(


Has anyone started their Christmas shopping yet???? I've done a bit.

Good morning all :-)

Silly computer got itself in a twist last night - the screen kept going all white and freezing on me so I gave up and went to bed :-(

Seems to be behaving at the moment so 'fingers crossed'................

I will have the Ulster Fry-up please Sylvs - ............. delicious !!! <3

See you all later,

Dea Xxx
