IT GRANNY 🇮🇸
Trying to stay calm with mum. She has bought us five thick fleeces and a third of a suitcase of babyclothes! I cannot take it all back and don't even think the kids will wear the fleeces and she buys me a new fleece EVERY TIME I SEE HER and I cannot give them away fast enough. She likes shopping but she gets offended if we don't love everything and I'm also frustrated because I wanted to do my own shopping and now I can't, at least not without paying another 60 quid to check another bag (plus cost of bag!). DS16 needs trainers (which I might manage) and trousers (which I won't manage) and I wanted to get a sleeping bag for the baby but I can't now because I have a dozen bloody vests, two sweaters, two hats, shorts (for Iceland!) and god knows what else.

I will leave some of it but she will expect me to take it in April when all four of us come over and will probably have got more stuff by then.

I feel bad and that I am being really petty but it is 2 years since I was over, I got a hire car so I could do a little shopping, nothing mad, and now my case is 19kg without cosmetics (or trainers).

Lovely photos! :-)

I had a bad day yesterday, very ill - nearly ended up in A&E. Trouble with breathing and coughed so much I was sick several times. On the mend a bit today, still breathing hard but so glad I'm not as ropey as yesterday.

Is that normal for you Som? Sounds awful xx
I suspect suggesting you wear it all is unhelpful ITG, as gifts of love go i appreciate it is unhelpful but it is also sweet xx

Dipps has saved me from having to buy a load of camping stuff that I’ll probably never use again. Not just that, she delivered it to me in person to my place of work today. As I told her, she’s an angel sent from heaven 😇

Does anyone need a fleece? Or baby clothes? 😄
