It's hard to think of something now.

Both girls have birthdays a week before Xmas DFay so It's even harder. I have to think of 2 lots of presetns for each girl. We have a small house with lots of stuff already. I'm running out of ideas.
Do you have any - ideas that is?

Art things?

Thank you LadyofthePoinsettias, will forward the ideas on to the 2 mates who are currently emailing and asking me.

Thanks Nab - we're pretty covered ont eh art stuff. Cos she has special needs she needs hand over hand supervision with stuff like that and gets bored very quickly. I spend 20 minutes setting it all up and she throws paint around for 5 minutes and then wants to watch a DVD!

We have autumn and Jan birthdays here so always run out of ideas for xmas and have so much stuff already. How about tickets for something?
Ours are getting a trip on the steam railway to meet santa. DH is taking the boys to a major sporting event at the millenium stadium. Panto/Snowman theatre trip. And i will probably take DD to the ballet. Will wrap the tickets with a suitable small present.

It's dd's b'day on 24th dec & ds's on 27th dec... I asked the GP's to put money inside a card & I will either bank it, or buy them something in the sales with it IL's are not getting anything except a small gift for them to unwrap & then in the summer they will buy them something for them to play with outside

LOL Enid. I'll buy yours off you when it starts gathering dust at yours!

Have suggested the Godmothers take her to a show and they are giddy excited with that idea so think we're sorted now, thank you.
