I didn't do any other wrapping. Kidults got bank transfers.
Sushi. Dec 2018 4:32pm, 24 Dec 2018 21,674 posts	0 Sushi. I didn’t but any wrapping stuff this yr as using up everything I already have. Glitter and plastic free recycable stuff only being bought but had to mix with less ‘friendly’ stuff I still had. Not much to wrap as I don’t buy for many or but much. Knitted loads of headbands (7) for friends I knew would like and use but just gave them as finished them.

CC2 Speedy Goth Dec 2018 5:00pm, 24 Dec 2018 4,025 posts	0 CC2 Speedy Goth Took dad out for our Christmas lunch. Quite the mission. If you've never had to manoeuvre an exceptionally tall person with no balance and a tremour into and out of a wheelchair repeatedly, and also manoeuvre said wheelchair around tight corners, over uneven ground, around tables, chairs and children and over annoying little steps and lips in doorways (whilst trying to hold the door open with one hand and push the chair with the other) you won't grasp just how bleeding knackered I am.
WA Dec 2018 5:16pm, 24 Dec 2018 5,780 posts	0 WA Was it worth it tho Speedy? I hope so I do think that "wheelchair access" only ever seems to apply to not having steps to the front door. Beyond that, it can be well nigh impossible to navigate round a building.

Celebrity readers include Jeremy Irons, Patricia Routledge and a Brian Blessed doing the Night Before Christmas.
