She kept slippers and deodorant from him
Jeanluc liked his presents apart from aftershave will be regifted or charity shop

Made heather a xmas pressie I need to post it off. Got cards in post today both opened to the kids from his parents they never send them anything anyway now so postie would be disappointed
Thought it daft though when I saw Kira's card looks like it's for a baby not a nearly 13yr old. And goddaughter on front of card seem to remember them being grandparents never godparent. 
Me rolls eyes. Dad went that's just ridiculous not send right card. He wanted to post it back I went I can't be bothered Kira probably chuck it on fire anyway. 
She made a lovely meal last night kira is now into learning to cook. 
She made burritos last night I've just finished the left overs off for lunch. Tonight we are both making mushroom pasta or pasta raux sauce she calls it.  Can't get over she be 13 next week she's really getting taller now been taller than me soon
