SHOPPING: Christmas

It wasn't until two nights ago when I was listening to Michael Buble's Christmas album (I'm excited, ok) that I really started thinking about my Christmas shopping list... GROAN.

After last year's shopping disaster, this year I'm buying everyones gifts online. It's easier, quicker, stress free and I can do it while Lil sleeps.

Thank goodness then for The Handpicked Collection, as my theme for everyones present this year is luxury.

I have to share some of the gifts with you...

For my Mother In Law and her partner (snigger) - His Lord & Her Ladyship towels:



For my Mum - this beautiful Green & Spring Relaxing candle and Shower and Bath foam:





For Lil, this amazing 1960's copy Fisher Price Chatter Telephone:


This list goes on!

And if you need help picking your gifts, they have a gift ideas blog. Genius!

Happy Shopping!

Nasty Mother (and I don't mean the Mother in law).

Lil is asleep at last after spending the morning fighting it.

She woke up in a bad mood after a restless night. Naturally I woke up in one too. I'm struggling today. My chest infection doesn't seem to be clearing and I have ulcers at the back of my throat. I also have PMT.

To say me and the kid aren't friends today would be an understatement. It's at times like this I look at her and think she's ruining my life. And she is, to a certain extent.

Of course I love her. Today I just don't like her.
