No I idea/ I got all the presents out that I’ve wrapped to make sure the piles were roughly equal. I’ve los tALL the stocking gifts. Dh ‘remembers’ puttinb them
In the loft. Looked in both lofts- no sign. Not in the boiler room. Not in the garage. Not in the shed. Where the chuffing hell are they????? I have also lost 4 packs of lovely Xmas cards I bought months ago from a national trust place. I am not so bothered about them. Though I am bothered about what’s happened to my brain. And WHERE are the stocking presents????

Can’t for the life of me think of the other regular bits that go in them, it’s always a mixture of nice little treats and some things from their Father Christmas list so there will be a couple of switch games and other requested things. They have sacks rather than stockings. Finding stocking things is my favourite part of Christmas!!

I tie them to the garland which is held in place with a tack either side of the chimney breast. Tacks stay there all year round.

If anyone is still looking, the NSPCC gift shop bit of their website is great for stocking gifts. Got our bamboo toothbrushes from there.

Every year they’ve done a list and I’ve always had FC buy or make things from them. Nice bit I sort of regretted it due to the cost. But also - why write a list of he won’t bring it? This year I’ve cut stockings from £100 each to £60 each.four of them so a bloody stupid habit for me to get into really.
