Well, look who has a girl to (potentially) buy for I'm assuming she's of similar age to Jimi so she will be easy to buy for!!
I still can't get over how many people are on your lists. I'd be bankrupt.

 

[Bevziibubble]

Following!

It doesn't feel like many compared to where we started, when all the grandparents were alive and both our dad's, and our nieces and nephews were little.

Jimi's girlfriend is 21, I'll probably just get some chocolates or something as I don't know her too well and I'm not sure if they will even be together then. It just feels like a nice gesture of inclusion to give her something.

 

[motherofboys]

Seth and I go to Lanzarote on Wednesday, he still doesn't know! I'm not sure how I've kept it a secret so long.
Once we are back it'll be a case of finishing my old job, starting the new one, buying for Seth and Zac's birthday's, and finally concentrating on Christmas.

 

[Bevziibubble]

That will be a lovely surprise for him! I hope you have a great time

 

[motherofboys]

Thank you, I've started packing today which is hard to do in secret when they either keep wanting to tell you things, or keep fighting.
I'm not sure whether to wake him up Wednesday and say "come on we are going on holiday" or just say we are going out and not tell him where and see how long it takes him to guess. The only downside of this is the huge suitcase that's bound to give it away

 

[Babybump87]

Say the suitcase is for the charity shop and wait for him to realise !

 

[motherofboys]

Ooo that's a good idea! I couldn't think of a reason why we might have one but that could work.

 

[motherofboys]

John spotted this shirt on Etsy so I ordered Zac one for his birthday

 

[Bevziibubble]

Love it!

 

[Mum21boy1girl]

Look forward to following along, hope you and Seth are having a lovely holiday!

 

[Bevziibubble]

I hope you're having a good time

 

[motherofboys]

Thanks, we had a great time!

 

[Bevziibubble]

Glad you had a good time!

 

[motherofboys]

Zac and Seths birthdays sorted, just need cards and to check my wrapping paper stash

 

[HalfricanMa]

Ohhh!! @motherofboys So thankful you reminded me about wrapping paper stash! I’m gonna need to get more birthday paper and Christmas paper!

 

[motherofboys]

Zac's birthday done, just wrapped Seth's presents for tomorrow. Ordered BIL and SILs to be delivered to them as our car is dead and we need a new one so can't take anything over to them.

 

[motherofboys]

Ordered a few bits for the boys, Zac had a Viking drinking horn for his birthday which Jimi thought was really cool and wanted one too, so I've ordered that and some mead for him, a WWE car with figure for Seth, as well as a new gaming headset. Then ordered Reuben a huggy wuggy plush and a oatie bathbomb that says its good for eczema.

 

[motherofboys]

I've ordered the biggest, most expensive gift and we are going to pick it up over the weekend
The Mead I ordered for jimi says delivered but it hasn't turned up, amazon have said to wait another few days but really what's that going to do? Says handed to resident when it clearly wasn't
