    I just have to make the chocolates and then I'm done for the day. Birthday stuff is done, remaining Christmas gifts are wrapped, bedroom is clean, just the chocolates and I can't do that while my mother's making dinner.

    wooo hoo sugar! you are doing so well! are you not on bed rest??

    Just read this article about a trip to lapland being cancelled due to bad weather but the people are all mad about it....surely they would rather be safe ??? Yes i fully understand they must be gutted but surely safety is more important. Some people!!

    I'm off bedrest, jamtart, but I suspect I will soon be back on it. The same thing is happening again that put me on bedrest to begin with.
