whaaaa??!!! ditty!! 

Mind you, marginally better than the gift my friend got from her hubby a couple of years ago - a chocolate orange and a bottle of aftershave !

Ditty

awww supes at the FatFace x

Its so hard isn't it?      We all expect the hair loss..    but there are so many other "delights" you don't know about til you go through it.

Thank god Ma has my Dad..   worshipping her every minute of the day. 

Can't wait to see the Ditty Christmas day pics

I WANT THAT!!!!!!!

Seriously..    I would sooooooooo love a quality cow onsie 

! Quality cow

Looks on the bright side, nothing could be worse than that

You mean one from Primark is off the table?

yeah...   they have painted on tails....    

I have been eyeing up the £50 ones online 

'zactly 

Hopes that Ickle is looking in HINT HINT

Does it live a field on quality street?... goes to fetch coat........

Is this it? 

hahahahaha...     problem is I have seen a picture of my daughter in a cow onsie (on FB)...   on all fours, doing her "sex face" for the camera!!!

RUINED IT FOR ME SHE HAS!!!

(they found the onsie in the villa they had rented when she went to Barcelona with the girls..    Ickle being Ickle she had to be the one to put it on for the photo shoot!) 

here...  I found the pic... 

OH MY GOD and she's doing that 'Fifty Shades bitey lip' thing too

Night, night all... and sweet dreams of rice paper flip-flops Ditts!

I KNOW!!!!

when I said to her "wtf is this?" and pointed at the pic on my lappy,  her reply was not an explanation of the cow costume...    her initial response was...

"they made me do the sex face Mummy"    

Nanite Soops...   

and everyone else in here...  

thank you to everyone that has replied...     though I blame you all for the fact that I have drank A WHOLE BOTTLE OF RED WINE cos of this thread!!!

(I had intended to just have half, and then go to bed!)

Na night Ditty, Supes and everyone.

I'm laughing out loud here - what a man 

Slinkeh's Mum & Dad both sound epic...  

Slinkeh has been my rock over the past few months - I've never known anyone get it so right (in terms of helping me) all the time...     along the way she's told me loads about her Mum...    to the point where I actually have stuff her Mum said to her going round my head -  in proper Irvine Welsh style Scottish as well! 

My mental image of her Dad is of a man deranged through craving sugar...  demanding Slinks make his (syrupy) porridge, & not Slinks sister (who did salty porridge)..    this too pops into my head at bizarre times & makes me laugh 

They say that by remembering we keep our loved ones with us...   Slinkeh's done more than that...    she has me remembering her parents, and I have never even met them     

But more than that (slushy moment alert)..    Slinkeh is truly a testament to what good people they were.....    

(sorry Slinks..   I know this will make you cringe...    but suck it up )

Awwww thats so nice Ditty

  Nice one Ditts... (and she will be cringing... but she deserves it) 

I know...     I almost feel bad 

awwwwwwwwwwwbloodyhell!! Greetin' and smiling at the same time! Ditty, that was bloody lovely ( Big West of Scotland punch on the arm ) xxx ( you're no so bad yerself! ) xxx

I deserve to cringe?!! How very dare you ! ! x

   I could have worded that better eh?  

Right...  well..     it went really well.

Our local independant department store has recently been bought by Fenwicks...   and whilst retaining all its independentness...    the Fenwicks management have done a bloody sterling job of improving on a good thing.

Never had to ask for assistance once...    there was always a member of staff on hand, but not overbearingly, offering to help...    there was no shortage of seating...   I had one in sight at all times.

They have got shot of the haberdashery - so brothers gf has dodged a bullet...  instead of the sewing basket she is now set to receive a bloody lovely Clinique gift set!    Mother made me choose something for myself - so I am set to receive a really lovely Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau so Fresh gift set.   We sorted her pressies to my hubby, my dad, my daughter, all the personalised cracker gifts (she is filling her own crackers) (apart from hers, which I have said I will get)...    and lots of other bits & bobs for various people.

The store had it set out perfect...    displays of fantastic gift ideas, not just the usual tat.   Am impressed.

We even went up & had a light lunch (crayfish & prawn salad), and I had an EggNog latte with it! 

Dad was supposed to drop us off, and pick us up when ready, but halfway through our shopping he turned up in store.    He admitted he couldn't bare to be parted from her for that long (awwwwww) and had ended up putting his car in to be valeted as a solution to parking (a total first for my Dad... he used to resent paying for a drive through carwash)

So its all good.    Just a few bits left to sort for her next Sunday.

Then I can start on my shopping 

*tries not to panic*

Yay Ditty!  Sounds like a great day - glad it all went well.   I get all squishy reading about your Mum and Dad btw.  

yeah    It does freak me out a bit sometimes...    

tis not right, your parents acting like a pair of loved up teenagers  

awww Ditty I have leaky eyes reading that   sounds like you had a great day 

Glad it went so well Ditty 

Sounds like you're gearing up for a great Christmas.

Pleased it all worked out so well Ditts and Marc Jacob's Daisy: result

Aww Ditty, I think it's lovely.
