Wilkinsons - we've got one of those! I'll have to check that out.

We will all get on famously Julie - I think we know each other pretty well from the emails we exchange, so no problems there.

I know I was really nervous last year as I hadn't met anyone! There are a lot of people going who I haven't met though, so that will be bit nerve wracking.

At least we have met Mrs S, so you will know someone!

Don't know whether that's good or bad though![:D]

I am still ashamed of hubby's behaviour that night!

He won't be doing it again, that's for sure![:D]

Jan, i missed your hubby's behaviour, i bet my hubby could top his [:D]

We do Secret Santa in work mrs S. but we draw out names so we know who we're buying for, but the recipient doesn't know who the giver is ( thats the plan). Don't know how it will work at FF?

You should be glad you missed it! I was mortified! Mrs S will tell you that I went round apologising for him and was so glad when he went to bed!

He will be fine at FF (or I will want to know the reason why!)

Our SS at work used to be the same as yours Julie.

Perhaps Mel can tell us how this is going to work? Us girls will probably buy lots of girlie pressies and that won't work really will it?

And some of us have met as well, and got on really great.

I haven't a clue what to get. Shall have to have a look at one of our cheapie warehouses to see what they've got.

Now is it to be one gift per person, or per couple if there are two of you?

I think we will just have to purchase gender neutral items, to be on the safe side - but remember no more than 99p per person!

Can't wait!

Hubby wants to know if you want him to help decorating the room and if so, what time?

We have a 4' fibre optic tree or a 6 foot ordinary tree complete with decs and lights if you want to avail yourself of either of those for the evening.
