text: Joan: Hi dear, how's the Christmas shopping going?
  Margaret: Hello love, well I've got a few bits and bobs, but I'm struggling with some people. You finished?
  Joan: Oh yes, I start getting things in the January sales! All presents wrapped up by the last week in November.
  Margaret: So organised, as ever, dear! Can I pick your brains about presents for your lot?
  Joan: Ask away!
  Margaret: Well, what about your Hayley and the baby?
  Joan: Hayley loves nail varnish and the little one, Jojo is 2 now, so some little cars or trains, wooden railway stuff is nice, we're collecting it now.
  Margaret: Thanks, that's great! What about Hayley' s boyfriend, Sammy, isn't it?
  Joan: Oh, well, he left her in August, gone back to his wife.
  Margaret: Oh, I didn't know, poor Hayley, how's she coping?
  Joan: Fine, I help her with Jojo when she's at work or Uni, we manage!
  Margaret: I'm so glad! Then there's Darren, Susie and the kids, stuck with them too!
  Joan: Oh sis, you have no imagination! Darren and Susie would love some nice wine, cheese and biscuits. The kids, well, Jade loves Smiggle stuff, but it's pricey, maybe some Sharpie pens, pencil case, sketch pads, things like that. As for Quinn, maybe a new messenger bag and some gloves, always losing them, Darren says.
  Margaret: Thanks love, some fab ideas. For you, still love Beatles stuff?
  Joan: You know I do! Look, I've got so much stuff, you may duplicate what I've already got, maybe a nice silk scarf, something like that.
  Margaret: Well, I'd better get shopping then! We're going to the outlet place on Friday, Keith's got the afternoon off work.
  Joan: Oh, that sounds nice, I wouldn't mind coming myself!
  Margaret: Not this time, love, I'm buying all your presents, after all! Maybe after Christmas would be nice.
  Joan: Perhaps you're right! Anyway, got to get on with putting the marzipan on the Christmas cake.
  Margaret: Oh yes! I've got to buy one of those too! See you soon dear! Love you!
  Joan: Love you too, sis! See you soon, I hope. xx
