This time every year I travel down south to hit Milton Keynes on a Christmas Shopping weekend with my mother. I go with a large wad of dosh saved up during the year and try to get as many presents as possible.
This year I got precisely... none.
Nothing.
Niente.
Yikes!! I had NO inspiration! This means I will have to fight my way round the Trafford Centre, Cheshire Oaks or Manchester sometime around December and I will probably still have NO inspiration then, either.
There is a strong case this year for going to PresentAid or Oxfam Unwrapped for the family presents. Sadly, although I think this is an amazing gesture and would be more than happy to receive a gift like this from people, I suspect that some of them would be rather non-plussed... and some might think I was trying to say something in particular if I got them a goat or a bag of fertiliser. Hey ho...
On a much happier note, L had her baby yesterday. Hurrah! Welcome to the world, Anna!

Just ask the relatives straight...would you like Llamas or bath cubes this year?
Maybe you're right - I need to grab the goat by the horns, so to speak!
