Big thanks to Shirley (‘Super’ secret Santa)

Can I just say big thanks to Shirley, who organises the Dibb secret santa. She contacted me a while ago to ask for Isabel’s details, which I sent, but then forgot all about.

After a good week, Izzy wasn’t too good today and hadn’t managed to make it out of bed when the doorbell went at lunchtime.

Cue a secret Santa parcel from the Dibb. It really brightened up her day and cheered her up no end, (and the little note brought a few tears).

Thank you for the special Dibb Pixie dust - just arriving with perfect timing too!

That’s really lovely and great timing from the sounds of it.

I think Shirley does a great job each year and seems to manage all the issues really well.

Shirley! You must have wondered if I was being a tad ungrateful yesterday - my own unexpected secret santa arrived today - though Flo thinks it’s for her!



Paul and I had developed a tradition over the past couple of years of going to Costa for toast and a cappuccino on a Sunday morning, as we’d be up early and the girls would either be still in bed (teenagers!) or at their part time jobs. We went last Sunday for the first time since Izzy was diagnosed in July - it felt strange putting our toes back into our ‘old life’ and was surprisingly emotional. Peeking through the tissue paper, I can see a perfect choice for the gift card - I will raise a cappuccino to the Dibb when we next try our little Sunday morning treat x x x x x x
