Thats all i can think of at the mo, back later once I have caught up

Mudbath

Hiya
Think I might have overdone it earlier as felt yuk but then fell asleep on the sofa for half an hour and now feel great. Mind you - I dreamt, of all things, that Pigpen's nails were the lastest enemy against Dr Who!!! I wouldn't mind but I don't watch Dr Who. By the way Piggers - does she drawer those freehand or are they transfers? They are totally fabulous xx

Mudbath

Hiya Linda
S/S is swish and shine and HHC is half hour challenge. Someone posts on up and whoever joins in sees what they can do in that time. Nothing like concentrating the mind. Hope you're nearly ready and you have a fab christmas xx

Ok I'm off clearing again! What's everyone eating for tea? I haven't done anything yet and the children will need feeding soon. I have however just noticed the leaves of the leeks I have in the cupboard going a bit slimy so I'm going to chop them up now for Friday and stick them in the fridge.

I'm back from the Nativity which was very sweet but all the Carols made me feel quite teary And then I got even more teary cos people were asking how I was

Now eating home-made curry and looking at the ironing

I should be feeling cheery cos it's nearly Christmas but ..................

Time to open some chocs I think!

soappie

Just had a couple of gins with nice neighbour. It was a bit of a mistake - I shouldn't have sat down! I now want to just curl up and sleep.

But, I'll find some reserves from somewhere and get this cranberry sauce and stuffing and starters made!

rach

glad you're ok lil_me

I am officially a domestic goddess :A

Ok so I messed up melting the first lot of white choc cos i got water in it and it went yukky but one emergency trip to the spar later I have these enough for 2 boxes of presents with 12 of those and 12 squares of rocky road plus some left over for us to munch

Evening everyone

Well, I still have the presents to wrap, but.........all the cleaning is done, the decorations are up (it looks like Santa's grotto) and I've done baking. :j OH scrubbed the shower room floor, he and sis did the tree,(but they've forgotten my porcelain bells and angels. ) and he just went and started cooking dinner - fresh pasta and sauce with garlic bread, quick and easy.

Pigpen - you lucky girl! And love the nails.

So, as I know I won't be on here tomorrow, and need to log off to wrap now..........

Thank you all for my lovely Christmas Cards, and have a wonderful Christmas.

Hugs to all who are thinking of "the empty place".

Parable of Immortality


"I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength, and I stand and watch until at last she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come down to mingle with each other. Then someone at my side says, 'There she goes!'

Gone where? Gone from my sight ... that is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and just as able to bear her load of living freight to the place of destination. Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says, 'There she goes!' there are other eyes watching her coming and their voices ready to take up the glad shouts 'Here she comes!'"

~ by Henry Van Dyke ~1852 - 1933

- and that is Dying.

Goodnight and God bless you all. x

Back to say - Anyone with children, if you go to the Norad site, there is also a link to Track Santa in 3D (Google Earth). It's great and it must be foggy, because Rudolph is at the front, complete with glowing red nose!
