I always try and stick to a £10 limit!

It's genuinely up to you, I always check Amazon and see what's on sale in the toy section, I just search toys for 5 year old boy/girl and see what deals they have, I've usually spent £5-£10 each time. My son had a party recently and just got cards from a few parents which is common as not everyone can afford gifts which I completely understand x

Having a 9 year old a £10 budget seems the norm or slightly under.

Average £10. If they are good friends could go up few £ otherwise up to £10.

I spend about £5 but more if it’s a close friend, b&m are great for cheap gifts!

Friends?

Hi all. Im an almost 37 year old mama. I have 3 human babies 16 year old daughter (chose to live with grandparents), almost 13 year old son (end of month) and a 1 1/2 year old daughter. Oh and let's not forget two 1 1/2 year old huskies and an almost 3 year old husky.

My life sounds chaotic. And it pretty much is. It's why I'm looking for mom friends that has an understanding to my chaos. I get so overwhelmed, sometimes I just need a friend to talk to.

I have one local bestie who has her own problems and one long distance bestie.

Im wanting to find a closer bestie to me in Colorado Springs. But will take more long distance besties as well!

If you're down to talk and chit chat about whatever we can come up with, shoot me a message.

Feeling alone

My husband did a voluntary deportation a month before I gave birth and will be gone for 3 yrs we talk everyday and all night when I’m having trouble to put little one down. But I feel alone because I’m doing it all by myself I never pictured me having all these first time experiencing by myself and always wanted my husband but then I feel guilty because I feel this way and he would kill for these moments with our son and I’m complaining about doing it alone and that he won’t go to sleep just the small things that I get overwhelmed sometimes. I feel like a bad mom because of it sometimes

Feeling all sorts of ways- racial tensions

Anyone else feeling scared of the increasing intensity and frequency of race riots in the UK?

Also, before shit hits the fan like it does on other platforms (i can't believe) i have to say i think all perpetrators of violence are scum, whatever they may look like 👍
