:eek::eek::eek: NOT BEFORE TIME TOO!!!! *faints with excitement* they either got fed up of our emails or PLM's friend in a high place sorted it for us either way :T:Tthank god! HOWEVER, I dont really need much more shopping had to do play and HMV today. Any of the chrimbo bingo gals actually NEED anything from any more places? if so drop me a PM and I'll find the best card for us.

I could possibly do a phone shop. If my son would decide on which phone he actually wanted .. !! Think its changed 5 times in as many days.

I can do
photobox, jpics or pixmania
argos
play
hmv
ebay
and ?? cause i want to get mum something ( thats not a 1,000 + dress or laptop)

Hello everyone

-Commiserations to the germies - get better soon, so you can enjoy the festive fun!

Have finally tracked down a tree that I'm happy with (only taken me a month), which is now all lit, and dressed beautifully - that's a total of 8 fabulous trees in my house - all very different - I sooooo love Christmas!

DH's son has asked if he can come to us for 23rd and 24th - dead busy with stuff, but it will be lovely to see him (spent several years where he didn't talk to his Dad after parents marriage broke up, was VERY VERY difficult for a long time), will just have to find ways to involve him in the things we have to do - fancy changing the beds, James? I'm sure it will be fine! (And if not, I'll have plenty to keep me out of the way).

So, to recap, house decorated, cards done and sent, all gifts bought and wrapped (and delivered where appropriate), all non perishables bought, menus written, to do list done - so that must mean... it's time to make Christmas food!!! - Pledge for tomorrow - Sausage Rolls (and maybe Cheese Straws), also, make carrot & swede mash for 16, to freeze, ready for Xmas Eve - no rest for the wicked?

Have a great evening everyone - will call back later - if I don't fall asleep.
