2021 journal!

I'm glad you're finally getting one. Fingers crossed it's not faulty!

 

[AngelUK]

Oh fingers crossed it’s ok! That really took forever!

 

[motherofboys]

I think I'll cry if that one has an issue too. It's from a different store, and a different batch, and I've seen a kid with one so I know not ALL of them are defective.

 

[AngelUK]

FX!

 

[Bevziibubble]

Hopefully you'll have better luck this time!

 

[motherofboys]

It's coming this morning so I'll get John to pump it up right away

 

[motherofboys]

I'm now done for the boys. Still a few deliveries to come, but everything bought. Just need to wrap. I made a start today.
Still to buy is something for John from each of the older boys, and food/drink.

 

[motherofboys]

Oh, and John pumped up the ball today and it seems to be good, thankfully

 

[Bevziibubble]

Yay, glad you finally have a football that isn't faulty!

 

[motherofboys]

My too!

 

[AngelUK]

Oh phew! I am glad!

 

[motherofboys]

I got a bit more wrapping done today and the wrapped things went back in the delivery boxes and on top of Jimi and Zacs wardrobe. I didnt think that we'd fit much up there but there's more space than I realised

 

[motherofboys]

Good job I didn't wory about trying to get them the same number of presents each this year. A I'm wrapping I'm finding things I forgot to put on my app list.

 

[AngelUK]

I tend to try and have the same amount of presents as Dominic is a teensy bit jealous of Sebby and would either be hurt or might gloat, depending.
I haven't wrapped anything yet! Waah!

 

[motherofboys]

I always used to do the same until a couple of years ago. But with their age gaps the cost of their presents vary so much, and I'd end up just buying things for the sake of the numbers. I try to keep it roughly the same so it isn't noticeable, but this year I told them it would be quite a bit different because Jimi and Zac both wanted something expensive where as all of the others presents combined didn't come to the same price.

 

[motherofboys]

Seth just told me that he forgot to put some toys on his list and it's too late. So I told him not to worry as I know MIL and BIL are both going to give them money and can buy them afterwards. But when I asked what they were he said he wanted Teen Titans Go toys, which I got him some tiny ones for his stocking so hopefully he'll be pleased with them

 

[Bevziibubble]

Glad you managed to get some tiny ones

 

[motherofboys]

I thought he was going to say something really obscure so was quite happy it was something I already had

 

[Bevziibubble]

Lol that was a relief! My heart sinks when they ask for last minute stuff

 

[AngelUK]

Yeah me too! That was lucky indeed!
