A Ted Baker Scarf and socks as it's her favourite shop. Will probably also put a couple of photos in frames for her and maybe some flowers.

We made a hamper and have put tropics skin care set, hand wash, soaps etc. Mustard colour jumper looks very warm and snug and a handbag. Might get a nice photo of DS and her as well.

armchair I feel you have been well punished for your terrible crime of marrying her son!

Sod all. Can't stand the sight of the woman!

Right now I'm actually thinking she is gonna get nothing.

DH phoned her this morning. Her and FIL were arranged to come to us Boxing Day for the day. They now aren't coming Cos FIL has a cough (24 days before Boxing Day) and they have "accidentally invited SIL and her partner for Boxing Day dinner (they will literally stay an hour to eat and then leave to go to a sports fixture) even though they are already there Christmas Day. So DH doesn't get to see his family over Christmas as he is working the whole time except bank hols and our kids won't see one set of grandparents.

DH is upset, I'm fuming!
