Birthday present for a 7y old

Eldest girl of the neighbours across has her 7th birthday today – what better stuff to give than lipgloss, body glitter, hair ties, a necklace and sweets and all that in a crackly, red, shiny paper? Problem is, her (almost) 3 year old sister wanted it all too, so was bawling her eyes out, until I promised her she would get such a present on her birthday too – which is in only a few weeks 
Tomorrow and the day after no post, I’m in London, fetching the girls back – WOOHOOH!! 
Let’s hope the weather is a bit clear and not like it is here now – I hope I will get to the Eurostar without looking like a drowned cat 
The TV is on too – with half an eye watching the opening ceremony of the Olympics in Beijing (of course I’m recording it!) They really have pushed the boat out – all very nice of course, but I do hope that later on the people who have been evicted and those in the poorer regions of China will profit one way or another of those games too…
Have a great time in London… while I’m in France.
my friend could have used this advice a few weeks ago, as she had to buy a present for a 6 year old.
Have you read about how the fireworks at the opening ceremony were animated? And the little girl lip synced because the singer wasn’t “pretty enough” Ooooooooooh the drama! I’m only watching swimming- mostly because I’ve recently taken up swimming and my theory is watching them will improve my skill, non? Otherwise I’m banning them.
Besides, who wants to watch a bunch of 16 year-old girls who look like they’re 8 bounce around and do gymnastics?
Hope London was a blast! *sigh* one of these days…
Thanks Steve and mntnlover77
A week zoomed by – and what did I do? Not much…
I was thinking the girl lipped when I saw it – but that it was because the original singer wasn’t cute enough… *shakes head* poor little one.
