Susan if you don't post soon, there is no telling what things they might come up with next to get you!! There are some very creative people here.

You are going to end up getting knickers if you don't post!
Hey Karen, where did Deb post that? I guess I'd better look at it. Nov 4! Yikes!

Those are lovely, Linda, but the cost is over the Secret Santa limit

Plus, these are probably dry clean only.... that's a hassle.

As requested-

My cats love stuff involving catnip- especially small toys in the shape of mice and things with catnip stuffed into them. Basically, fun cat toys are a good idea
They also like things they can burrow into and/or sleep on. I'm sure they'd go nuts for catnip spray, or something like that too.

Wow, go away for a few days, and Susan STILL hasn't posted!
It definitely looks like knickers and a newspaper for you!


I have now finished shopping for my Secret Santa gift!!!





Except for the knickers and the newspaper.

Wow, Karen, you're organised!


I went out to do some shopping for my SS, but I forgot to take my list of likes and dislikes!
Came back with a couple of things for me though!

Your poor SS!
They'll be sitting there sighing a sigh of relief now!
(unless they already have the knickers and newspaper sorted!
)

But I still see more questions that you need to answer!
See SillyJilly's post with all the questions in it!
Due to your delay in giving your hints, you must answer all the questions!

I submitted among my likes the fact that I've been trying to get copies of "the Cat who..." books by Lillian Jackson Braun. (Been scouring used book stores because I want to save money. The ones we have were found at yard sale.) Problem is, I lost the list of the ones I have.


I do know I don't have the first one. These are the ones I remember.
The Cat Who... Ate Danish Modern
Played Post Office

Sigh, I am remembering plots more than titles! Heck, even if I got a duplicate, I wouldn't mind.
