As per usual i said yes mum and even supplied a bottle bag to save her the bother! she goes shopping all the time using her bus pass!”
I think I'm heading away on Wednesday, but there will be lots of travel and won't get back home until after New Year's. I'm excited yet it's going to be WARM. BARF!
You are nice to buy the gifts, though my mom used to do it for her mother because she had no idea what to get. Now she just sends us a check and we buy what we want.
My mom was at the movies when she left my sister's dog at the vet to get it's nails clipped, it got stuck in the cage, they called my sister in NEW YORK about it, and my mother is incomunnicato because she's at the movies! And then I'm shlepping out in the pouring rain, in all the traffic and craziness and crowds to buy stuff for my brothers for her while she's at the movies? My sister and I had a long bitch about my mom this afternoon.
Bailey's for a Christmas gift....interesting! I just had to send a list of hints for myself to someone. Should have added a bottle of booze!
