Family birthdays

What to do? What to do?

Tomorrow is my little sister's birthday. Strictly, that should be younger sister but quite honestly even if I live to be a hundred, she will always be my little sister.

She is a mother of three now, the kids' ages ranging from nearly 6 to 16 years old. But she is also the little bugger who used to hand on to by arm by dint of sinking her fingernails as far into my flesh as humanly possible. That was a habit that lasted between the ages of about four to eight years of age, and had me close to murder on a number of occasions.

But while that was many, many moons ago, she remains, as ever, my little sister (anyway, she's only 5'3" compared to my nearly 6', so she is little).

So what do I buy her for her birthday? She won't get it until Friday when I go back up to Shropshire, so I still have a little time to think it over. She mentioned something called a 'Cherish Teddy' but I have no idea what that is*.

Maybe I should just write her a cheque....

* and yes, I have googled it, but although the phrase does appear, none of the websites will open within my patience span, so I'm not actually any the wiser.

I'd say buy her a professional massage or a spa visit, but perhaps my preconceived notion of what it would be like to have 3 kids, 6 to 16, is weighing too heavily here.

mmmm, that's a good idea - time to herself for a facial! So long as she could name the date.
