moving in' present

[slinky.kate]

son moves into his new flat on friday,at least he gets the keys then,to help him out i filled up 4 large supermarket with essentials,everything from dishclothes,washing powder,tins,toilet paper,hankies,kitchen roll,cleaning stuff,and a lot of tinned stuff,all he needs to buy now is his fresh stuff.

[slinky.kate]

^^^supermarket bags.

[albaqwerty]

Glad he's got his accommodation sorted xx
How's he off for bath towels and hand towels?

[B00]

okly dokly :-)

[ummmm]

And you want to buy him something else?

[guilliebrougues]

It must be nice to have a thoughful mother like you. I am sure your son will appreciate what you have bought. All these things that you have provided for him are much better than a bottle of bubbly, because once the bubbly has gone, it' s gone, but all these other things he can use for some time. Hope he settles in okay. I wish him all the best.

[slinky.kate]

he has bed linen and towels but he said he doesnt think he has a telly,he is getting that himself.but i think thats him well and truly sorted now,anything else he is on his own,i have helped him out the best way i can and he is very grateful.

[B00]

Hang on...hankies? As in handkerchiefs?!

[slinky.kate]

i went into morrisons and got nearly all their 'saver' deals and i was very surprised at the'till'thought it would have been about £20 dearer than it was

[slinky.kate]

yes boo'tissues to wipe his eyes when he leaves me????

[guilliebrougues]

How about you slink.kate, will you need tissues when he leaves you.

[albaqwerty]

He'll need to buy an iron unless he has a good launderette near him :-)

[2sp_]

Tin opener!

[guilliebrougues]

albaqwerty,are you saying that slinky.kate is a good launderette.

[slinky.kate]

i will miss him like hell,he is so good to me ,but i will see him the odd week-end.i think he needs to do this as he has given up a lot when i was very ill,i think his girl friend is moving there with hi next month if she can get a job

[albaqwerty]

oh lawdy guillie :-)
Kate's been laundering him for 20 odd years and it's a bit too far to drag his dirty smalls home to mum surely?

[slinky.kate]

he has a lovely flat with all mod cons.so he has to do everything or himself,he is 25 and needs to learn how to save electric,cook ,washing but it comes to us all eventually.the next time he visits he will be borrowing my cook books.

[guilliebrougues]

And your pots and pans. !

[askyourgran]

Will he use all those things slinky, is he house trained, or will his gf (or you) do the cleaning. Has he a washer and and iron? Either way that is a great idea for a moving in present.

[albaqwerty]

Kate, it'll be strange at first and very quiet.
Hope he loves it and his g/f finds a job (it's tough out there) Will he be taking the pooch or will g/f still look after it?
Make him a pot of his favourite soup and freeze it for him to take back after one of his visits.

[guilliebrougues]

askyourgran what do you mean that is a good idea for a moving in present his girlfriend. yes , i agree.
