107 shopping days til Christmas...

We've already started thinking about Christmas because if we want to send our gifts by sea then they leave in a months time, to send them by air is only a little less expensive than booking yourself onto the flight and carrying them as hand luggage and taking advantage of the complementary drinks and nuts!

Last year Beth and I worked out that we spent as much money on the postage of gifts as we did on the gifts themselves. We also appreciate that its very expensive sending things to us. Therefore we are asking friends and family not to send gifts for Beth or I but instead chuck a picture of yourself (... and family!) in a card for our friends and family wall. If you want to send a little something for Alfie (Please do not feel at all obliged) then please do. This year we'll be sending a card from down under, might get Alfie working on these, and family picture of our own for you big people. We'll also be sending a little something for the little people in your lives!
