I agree. We are open w our daughter about being adopted. Every july 22nd we celebrate her"special day". It's the day we went to court & legally adopted her. We always make it just a fun family day with the 3 of us. And 2 for you & your daughter
For Steve's presents, I have bought him a couple of boxes of Shreddies which are a cereal that is sold in England and Steve used to love them. They now sell them here but only in a Lolly Shop as they get them imported in, they only have them every now and then, so when they do, I get a couple of boxes to last for a while. The catch is though that they are $10.00 a box OUCH...total rip off for the size of the box, but Steve loves them, so it is worth it
Also 3 blu ray movies...one being Avatar in 3D as we both have not seen that and it is meant to be very good!
Also a figure of Bilbo Baggins from The Hobbit...mum got him Gollum, they look so cool!
Also a couple of UK Mars bars, as Steve said the chocolate tastes different on them compared to the Aussie ones and also a couple of Double Decker chocolate bars as he loved them back in the UK and once again, they cant be found in supermarkets over here. They too were quite expensive but worth it
He is now having his breakfast, so present opening soon!
It is Steve's birthday today, so I am just waiting for him to wake up so that I can give him his presents
We had a lovely dinner at mums last night, wonderful food mum cooked, great night!
Tonight we are heading out to a chinese restaurant for Steve's birthday dinner
2 nights in a row of no cooking and no dishes, I could get used to this

We do, but I cant stand anything but cotton...I love wearing cotton clothing, sleeping on cotton sheets etc
Poly and cotton blended ends up getting lots of lint/pilling (bitties I call them) and I cant stand the feel of it...so cotton it is
Ooh, I don't mind patches on lots of stuff, but not on an ironing board cover. Don't the edges of the patch make little lines in the stuff you iron on top of them?...
I have an old wooden ironing board. The label is still on it. It was from the early forties. I found it many moons ago in a thrift shop brehind some dusty old bed springs. It cost me the grand sum of $.69. A couple of my kids have already started to fight over who gets it. When I got it, it had about 20 covers on it. I now am using the last one. Everytime a hole shows up or a wear spot, I get some old material I have, and with the Stitch Witchery, I cover it and just continue ironing. I have even covered some of the patches. I have had that board and cover for almost 40 years and I hate to give that cover up. So I will continue to patch it and patch it.

I loved ironing as a kid. I still enjoy it if I have some company.
My mum hated ironing. When I would do a load of laundry that needed ironing and do the ironing, she would pay me $1. That was four times as much as my weekly allowance!
