MI, I like the toiletries, I also like L'Occitane stuff; I think anything like that would make a lovely gift, or how about a nice scarf (we older crepies always like to cover up the lines on our necks 
).
Crem, congratulations to DD on her exam results - one of the problems of girls and school, I think, is that there is always so much angst from them as girls generally do want to do well, and always think that they haven't done enough (not like boys, who seem to be the opposite....).
DGD has just been collected; we had a lovely day with her - had meant to go out for a walk, got all dressed up and then the heavens opened, so stayed indoors instead.
BTM, you are quite right about ignoring my DSis; I am afraid there is a history there, though, with us and I am still acutely aware, after 20 years, that she was the one who had to look after my DDad when he was ill because we were 200 plus miles away. It was a very difficult time for all of us, but she did carry the burden and therefore I still feel guilty after all this time. (Not helped by the fact that my DC live within ten miles of us so I therefore see them and the DGC all the time, and her's live two hours away and she sees them about once a month). Ponder - should that be her's or hers - the first one doesn't look right at all. No doubt someone will be able to put me straight.
