    Like everyone else it seems, I can play but have no ball to throw so can only throw back if thrown to! I'm here all day as tomorrow lunchtime we'll be at my mums until Boxing Day afternoon. I'll yell out tomorrow when I'm going though so we don't get parcel constipation because of me :)

    Going to put the kettle on if anyone wants a hot drink :D I'm dying for a cuppa!
    Sad because you don't know what to do? :sad: Comping question? Take a look in the Comping Guide to find out :smiley:

    Afternoon all, I hope everyone is relaxed and calm.

    How's the parcel throwing going? I just tried to send one back to TJ but the down arrow thing wouldn't let me get that far in the list. Sorry! Will pass each parcel I receive asap though!

    Nothing cooking here... not doing dinner here. Going to OH's family tomorrow and mine on boxing day.

    Anyway, been productive so far... cleaned out rabbits, done some washing and put the clean stuff away, tidied and put things away, been to Tesco (on my bicycle, glad I didn't take the car!) to get a few bits, and watched some telly. Some more bits and bobs to do but mostly relaxing now!
    Life is all about the journey.
  • For fear of getting mobbed - I will say this only once...

    I HAVE ANOTHER PARCEL!!!!!

    (I went into OH's Facebook & sent one to me)

    Now.... how we gonna do this?????
    The Rock Chick, she say 'courtesy costs nowt' - spread the word! :D

    Just thought would share the story of how the angel got to be on top of the christmas tree, have seen it loads of times but think its good:D


    When four of Santa's elves got sick, and the trainee elves did not
    produce the toys as fast as the regular ones, Santa was beginning to
    feel the pressure of being behind schedule.

    Then Mrs. Claus told Santa that her Mom was coming to visit.This
    stressed Santa even more. When he went to harness the reindeer, he
    found that three of them were about to give birth and two had jumped
    the fence and were out, heaven knows where. More stress.

    Then when he began to load the sleigh one of the boards cracked and
    the toy bag fell to the ground and scattered the toys.

    So, frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup of apple cider
    and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered that
    the elves had hidden the liquor, and there was nothing to drink. In
    his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider pot, and it broke
    into hundreds of little pieces all over the kitchen floor.He went to
    get the broom and found that mice had eaten the straw end of the
    broom.

    Just then the doorbell rang, and irritable Santa trudged to the door.
    He opened the door, and there was a little angel with a great big
    Christmas tree. The angel said, very cheerfully, "Merry Christmas,
    Santa. Isn't it a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where
    would you like me to stick it?"

    And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the
    Christmas tree
