Celebrate!

That's the HS:MS word of the day and here's my take on it.

Went late night shopping yesterday whilst the Dinky Diva was at Brownies. Got quite a few things, queues weren't too bad and SMO carried all the bags. There were a couple of shops not open despite having signs up for late night shopping grrrr, so I will have to venture out during daylight (please don't let it have to be a Saturday!). Only one casualty, a small box of chocs got squashed in the bag on the way home, guess we'll have to eat those ourselves!

My quandary over the children's presents has switched around this year. Usually she wants all manner of things and he isn't bothered. This year there seems to be plenty around for him (although medium sized boxes of Lego City seem to be as rare as rocking horse poo!), but I can't find things for her. She is growing out of dolls - has enough for when she is in the mood for them, I refuse to have things like 'moon sand' I don't believe them when they say there is no mess!

Her Christmas list consists of a colouring book and a new teddy - I have to say I was very proud of that, when I was her age I wanted something from every page of the Argos catalogue. So ideas needed for a 7-8 year old girl, not too messy, trashy, tarty or too practical! (and she isn't in to music or video games).
