Daisypurple how old is Josh? that sounds like monty list last year I want that boy back lol this year he only wants gadgets and hasn't asked for any toys my sister has just rang to say she has got him a docking station as it was all she could think of for him xx

 

[DaisyPurple]

Hiya lanny he will be 10 next month unfortunately its the first Christmas that he doesn't believe in Santa but I'm still going to make it special I've told him I've got £150 to spend and he is looking at stuff and saying woah! That's expensive if I have that then I won't have much left etc, but I'm just getting everything I know he will like so he gets a shock on Christmas morning, think ill be able to spend about £400 in total x
How old is Monty? Xx

If he's into gadgets what about a metal detector, spy gear stuff, weather station, cash machine (my boys loved these, they had their own 'cash card' too. They're big gadget freaks in this house so if you want a hand give me a shout x

 

[DaisyPurple]

Bet J would love a metal detector might look into this, I love this thread, nicking everyone's ideas lol

 

[lanny]

He's 7 next wk but has just changed sooooo much in a year, he got spy gear stuff and hasn't touched it cos that would mean he would have to be a child and 'play'.
He is too old and thinks he's older then he is he had to get dressed up for school the other wk and he said it was the worse day of his life but the other kids his age where running about the playground loving it.

I dunno what happen to my boy that played Lego and cars, I know the biggest problem is his computers he has a laptop, xbox and wii and a 32 inch telly on his bedroom wall and would sit there all day but it's so hard as o/h loves xbox too so the pair of them sit there, I wouldn't mind as much if he took interest into other things but apart from DVD he doesn't .

Halloween he didn't want to go to a party all my friends where taking there children too as that would maybe playing party games, so
Now we are going around the houses but he only wants his face painting as a scary clown won't wear anything,

I just see kids loads older then him more child like then him and wish he was more childlike, he is really clever i don't know if that hasn't anything to do with it , his teacher said she can say a adult joke in class and it go's over everyother kids head but she always gets a little laugh out of monty as in gets it.

 

[DaisyPurple]

Kids are all different hun, and thats the way it should be, XXX

 

[FebMum2Be]

I've got George foreman grill and kettle and toaster for odhrans kitchen, going to ikea today hopefully to get his armchair and table and chairs x

 

[Mamafy]

Cannot believe we're just under 7 weeks away

I've still got a lot to get although made a start on my mum, I'm hoping by next week or the week after I'll nearly be sorted and then have to wrap the little bits for under the tree and in theory I should be done

 

[FebMum2Be]

I know mamafy we will get there lol odhrans granny is giving me £50 the first week of December to get odhran things from her so its not wasted on silly bits so that should finish him off (I say that, but wether I stop or not is a different story lol)

I've got my mum; photo book, Yankee burner and tarts, plaque that says "the only thing better than having you as our mummy us having you as our children's nana"

Need to start on the others now x

 

[setdse]

i am completely done now. waiting for it a few bits to arrive and then wrap em up. and then its time to think about homemade goodies and how im gunna wrap em and make em look all pretty... ideas would be great!

 

[lanny]

I'm nowhere near done, loads to get for the kids thinking they were just bits and pieces but me and o/h wrote a list last night and boy to bits and bobs add up lol

I haven't even started other people yet I thought I was doing so well now it's all caught up to be blooming hell 7 wks xxxx

 

[tinkerbell86]
