  • It does cause lot of confusion but can be useful at times! Center Parks sounds like a great idea for this time of year. Away from the rat race and space to gird your loins for next week.

    Sammy, That is a very good point.

    I am finding more and more that I am really disliking driving at night-not a phobia by any stretch of the imagination but I truly see how it could end up that way if I didn't force myself to get out and drive at night-but I now have to stick to main roads etc and country lanes+headlights freak me out.


    You missed a wonderful meal out last night hun (but I completely get why you didn't come! lol) Scott and I have gorgeous tender steaks with port and stilton sauce-it was lush!

    That doesn't make me feel better bun!! DD2 obviously thinks I have NO life of my own and was very put out when she wanted a lift to a friends at five.....compromise was reached and i agreed to drop her earlier.....however, 15 mins before we were due to go I got can we get a hair dye on the way!! Now given that I pinched hers during the week I was obliged to say yes.....big queues in morrisons and then I get stuck behind a caravan!!!!! on a country road - this could only happen to me!!!

    I had yet another crappy chinese and fell asleep during casualty...to be fair I was really tired and may not have been much company. I didn't even want a drink......will be back on form next week!

  • I agree (I think it is Lisa) but I think the judges will favor Rachel.
  • Sorry, shouldn't have rubbed it in-but we can always go another time!

    I'm off between Xmas and New Years so we can meet up then.

    Right, off to have a shower and get to Tesco for when it opens-I lead the life huh? But friend has recommended buying the firelogs from there as they are only a couple of quid whereas at CP they charge you £8.50!!! :eek

    also need to pick up stocking fillers and then I am officially DONE shopping for Xmas.

    Targets for today are to blow the national grid with a small string of fairy lights on the outside tree in a pot :eek:
    write the Christmas cards (figure it's too late to make them all now) :rotfl: and to wrap all the presents.
    I'll let you know how little I get done!
