Sorry DD interrupted me. I got the M&S food book on Friday, and DD was reading it yesterday, but DH having scoffed fri on commuter train home (we travelled together for a change) took it off her yesterday when we were having lunch out and was a bit interested, and talked about where to eat (and got me to agree to be the driver for the day, I was suckered!!).
But somewhat redeemed himself at the M&S checkout getting a couple of bits for dinner by suggesting I could get a box of mince pies!! Could set a dangerous precedent as I have made far too careful a study of the various options over recent autumn/winters in my office, but I was hoping to get waistline better controlled this year.
I am making good progress on the buying, we have dd nearly sorted between us, and most already sent to mil for safekeeping. I have ordered DH,s main gift. And I have gathered lots for the grown ups. Dd is working on craft presents for her cousins. So I need DH,s siblings, fil, finish my dad, a few more bits for a shared hamper for my aunts and uncles, and the KK person of my siblings, but we,re doing the draw for that next weekend at dad,s 65th birthday and retirement celebrations. And a couple of kiddie presen, I have about half sorted there for nieces and nephews.
