Didn't know how else to say it really, without giving the game away that its really me!
Yesterday my mindees wrote their letters to FC and as is usual here, we put them in the fire (a la Mary Poppins) and the magic goes up the chimney and to the big man himself. So over night, I write letters back and put them in the fireplace for them to collect. I forgot to do them last night, so I've been doing them this morning. I've got one dd who is 12, so clearly doesn't believe, but we've never actually had the conversation. I have just managed to sneak 3 scrolls into the fireplace without her seeing and she is now gobsmaked, because she's been in there all morning and checked for replies first thing!
So who's playin who do you think? She must know fgs!, but she said 'OMG, look Mummy!' and I said 'Eh? They weren't there an hour ago!' How many years do you think we're gonna keep this up! I can't believe I'm going to have to bite the top off a grotty carrott for the benefit of a 12 year old on Christmas Eve either!
