    Afternoon all

    Pink hugs for you hun, this time of year is so stressful and the state of the country and lack of sunshine is not helping anyone, I hope he snaps out of it soon - it is so sad how we are often meanest to the ones we love the most.

    Pigpen my kitten is attacking my tree too - the smartie tree chocolates are his favourites to remove

    Soappie - thanks for the link, we did have two unwelcome visitors but as we are too far from Bristol to make any cash out of them they have been evicted

    Triker - hope hubbie managed to see somebody about his tooth

    AnW'smum happy happy birthday

    Crafty so sorry I missed your birthday, happy wishes for you too

    G&B did you Mum ever get the Japanese knot weed sorted out?

    Mudbath - hope you get your patch sorted out

    Summermoon - hugs hun you sound stressed

    Holly well done on all you achieved for Toddlers and enjoy not having to do it anymore

    Toots and Soappie - I love the way you are both trying to help others source presents - it has made me feel all squishy inside

    Triker have you done your travel insurance?

    Not got very far the last few days as I'm not feeling 100% but no way near as bad as some of you.

    Carol concert at school this morning was lovely as ever. Kids all home for Chrismas now.

    House has gone to rack and ruin so I'm going to do a HHC in the kitchen as a start.

    Must finish my online order for sainsbury before 9:00
