I get more and more nervous nearer Christmas when I've already spent far too much and they suddenly spot something new that they 'must must have.' Grrrrr.<BR/><BR/>I just tell 'em Santa brings them the things he thinks they'll like best and use the most. I have a feeling Miss E will get wise to this next year though as she will be 9. <BR/><BR/>This year I 'think' she still believes, but it's possible she's just humopuring me.Jo Beaufoixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957369658590225971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-2435816548628585322008-11-26T14:13:00.000+00:002008-11-26T14:13:00.000+00:00mum, I have hinted as much before, but be careful ...mum, I have hinted as much before, but be careful waht you wish for.

As a 17 year old his interests are very expensive so on a limited budget shopping only takes about 5 minutes and one click of the mouse and I'm done.
