Surely you mean mugs of gold then dontcha?? Just messing. I bought my coins and bowls yesterday and I can't wait to do them. Dumb me forgot scratchcards though!

Everyone seems to be getting on great guns with everything. My dad came around yesterday so I didn't get much done other then running around making cups of teas because he thinks he is royalty.

On wednesday we went out to Morrissons (doing the 20 pounds thing) and got a few christmas things like pickled onions and crackers WOOP came home, went a bit crazy and cleaned out my whole fridge and freezer then organised everything. Gave the kitchen a good rub down and cleaned and organised the food cupboards. I did so much on that day I nearly died of exhaustion!!

I have seen about 4 houses by me now with christmas decorations up or outside. YESSSSSS!!!

Santa Claus comes to town on saturday so I will be taking the kids to see him next week. Then after that we are off to Christmas Thomas Land. I am so excited for that! It guarantees to snow at least three times a day,
