He's not being mean really. We will do a family do at home for him but your only 18 once and does he want a lot of old codgers dancing round their handbags complaining the music's too loud?? We were all 18 once and I know what he'd rather. He'll enjoy having a family do at home though!What a meanie not letting the oldies go to the party. We all went to my nieces 18th but under strict instructions not to do anything embarassing - even the grannies went!
Does your son have a laptop or an iphone or something gadgety like that? Boys and toys and all that.
Like the sound of the new beefeater menu - might give that a try. I knew they had been re-vamped. x
Thanks for your ideas but as I said to Rosie he works in IT so has all the gadgets he wants! (lucky him) Weight loss going a bit slow, in fact not happening, so am going 100% this week and exercising to see what happens.Hey karen, things sound hectic your way! i agree though blokes love toys, new cameras, ipod phones, blackberrys are all the rage at the mo. I think i got a digi camera for my 21st. Blokes are hard to buy for. My oh is 37 soon and i have no idea what to get him.
Anyway hows the weightloss going hun?
I'm hoping it will be cheap as we're going on hols in summer so this is an extra in a very expensive yearMorning Karen ... Hope your day goes well
We went to Turkey a couple of years ago - We went shopping in Bodrum, it was fab...We stayed near turgitreis (sp?!)...Had a great holiday and think it was probably the cheapest one we had been on, The all inclusive was fab
Well done Jess! You've given me inspiration. He went to a friends 18th a couple years ago and they went greyhound racing and his dad paid for it. We could go horse or greyhound as son loves horse racing and enjoys going to the dogs when he's been :happy096: But yes, the other son does needs something different with friends as you say, although I love the music my sons play and would love to go clubbing!!!I had all my family with me on my 18th.. big BBQ. Mean son It's my 21st in July and I'm doing a family thing again.. posh picnic and then greyhound racing! Will do something seperate with my friends, either a BBQ here or go out

Youngest son is in final of talent contest at school on Thursday so busy singing all night in practice. All of a sudden he charges down stairs, he's got cooking tommorrow and needed ingredients for cheesecake. Now that's no what you normally keep in fridge so off we totter to Morrisons 5 minutes before closing - phew! He does it every time and its a made panic.
Got busy few days as got to go to Oxford to watch son play footie. Oh, forgot his parents evening before that as well.
Off to Bognor on Friday for youngest sons footie tournament. Always a good weekend as we're really good friends with all the parents . Will try to get on tommorrow and post on everyones threads. Apologies in advance if I don't.
Night night x
Your wee one sounds like a right charmer - just wait till he gets older
Blimey, your older lad does sound tricky to buy for - and you don't want to just give him money for his 21st I suppose.
With that attitude Jess, you will be a very strict mum!:copon:My brother used to do the cooking thing. Next time say no! After he gets in trouble once he'll give you more notice in future
Cheesecake looked lovely, but unfortunately tasted like solid yoghurt, even son didn't like it. Looked impressive though! I never liked sugar puffs but only 1.5 pts per 30g so good for breakfast or snack. xif the cheesecake snuck in it musta been so quietly cause i missed anything about cheesecake - i saw sugar puffs though (totally fancy some now!)
hope you've had a good day today anyway x
Thank you am going to take the suncream! (will prob rain now). I do like sugar puffs, I just never used to - strange I know, but he ho. xaww have a lovely time Karen! hope the weather is nice for you while you are away xxx
p.s.. why do you eat sugar puffs if you dont like them? why not have coco pops or ricicles or something for the same points?
Good Morning Karen.
I hope you have a lovely time at butlins this weekend xx
