Has anyone seen the lists on santas grotto forum...

Ive got my kids

Playdough sets x3 (to share)
Board games x3 (to share)

Then their little Santa stocking bits which all amounted to about £20.00 if that...

When i was little i had simple stocking fillers like pens, pencils, colouring book, smellies, choco box....ooohhh cant forget the satsuma lol. And then a big present from Mum and Dad. Usually something i was into at the time.

But looking at other ppls lists im quite embarrassed to put my list up. I mean they must have spent hundreds of pounds. Is it all really worth it? I bought Izzie a computer for her fourth birthday and shes played with a £1 land barbie that her uncle bought her more!!!!!!

Feel a bit bad....

 

[Sparklebaby]

dont feel bad babes, everyone is different.
hubbys mum still gets us a satsuma and a hazelnut. i think back in the day u used to get a lump of coal too lol.
when people say what u getting beany for christmas, i just reply....I have set her life up havent i? isnt that enough for something she wont know anything about?
you do what u need to do and if they happy with that then so be it

 

[Kayleigh Lou]

I just dont see the point in getting loadsa prezzies. I mean great for the kids but what happens when theyre 15/16 and want the same treatment!

About a month ago we let the kids go into toys r us n have a look around. And they actually picked out what they wanted without even knowing about it lol. They got so much from other ppl, i dont really need to go mad

 

[Sparklebaby]

aw I love toys are us. got most of our baby bits from there as its so cheap. have u got their gold card to get brucey bonus points?
re the older things, Im hoping by the time our child(ren) is that age they will know the value of money and save for things like that with pocket money. i know easier said than done but I want our children to understand that money dont grow on trees. they will be rewarded in time tho with a savings account we plan to do, so when they turn 18 they have some money to get them started in life.

thing with kids....when they of that young age they usually more interested in the wrapping it came in lol.

 

[Kayleigh Lou]

Oh yeah, the days of making play houses out of the boxes we had from Christmas lmao!!!!

Your right about the realisation that money dont grow on trees. I dont buy the girls sweets all the time, nor magazines or junk. On the rare occasion when weve been in Croydon for the day and theyre getting abit cranky. We'll take them to poundland and let them choose something!

I dont give them pocket money yet but im sure the day will come when they get to earn ther money just like everyone else has too!!! lol.

I did the toilets in my mums for a fiver a week..GO ME!!! LMAO

 

[Sparklebaby]

[aflight84]

guess what i did . . . . .
i bought the cot over from my mum's last night so adam can get mia's room sorted over christmas and it will nearly be finished. YAY

 

[Sparklebaby]

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW i wish my daughters room resembled a nursery lol. what with hubby being in there its a mess...no furniture other than the cot, so bags everywhere
at least i know when he moves back to the main room after the baby is born, i can offload 2 large bags of toys back onto the spare bed again lol.
mmmmmmmm i started my mid morning coffee break early. coffee and some foxes chocolate fudge crunch biscuits mmmmmmm NOM!

Happy double figures anna! xxxx xxxx

 

[Sparklebaby]

poxy photos....i took some lovely ones this morning.....but i cant upload

well unless the sizing on here has changed i think i have sussed out the problem....I think the Mega Pixel has been changed on the camera. all my pics i spent lovingly taking this morning are all at 5MP meaning they all showing as over 1 MB

Im gonna have to take them all over again...however if u want to see them baaaaaaadly they are on facebook....for those that I have on there anyway.

hows everyone doing? did you all get snow? we got loads & are due to get some more later today & overnight I hate driving in it though. i need to go food shopping & i want to get paul an xmas prezzie from the girls so i have to go out in it today.

Im still bleeding, not much anymore & (tmi) im still losing my plug, everyday its blood streaked too. Does anyone know if it will stop soon or will it be like this till the end?

I have saved the best news till last.......................

Hayley got pregnant 1-2 on a digi yesterday......im gonna be an auntie!!!!

 

[aflight84]

[Kayleigh Lou]

We got the snow and its still EVERYWHERE!!! My kitten loves it! Pain for me as i also need to go out.

Hubby feels bad atm. I bought him a playstation 3 for Christmas costing £220. We had only set aside £100 each so i blew my present money on him aswell. So weve now said we'll get something silly for each other for about a tenner but im soooo stuck for ideas!!!!!! Im usually really good

 

[Sparklebaby]

no nothing, just said to come back if the bleeding is heavier than a period!! They even cancelled my antenatal friday coz id been seen on tuesday at the hospital, its a joke!! Now i have to wait till thursday for my next antenatal! I know that the plug can grow back but i'm losing it when it does The bleeding is constant even though its light, i just want it to stop now so i can relax.
