Morning All

Did think about nipping to Asda this morning but I don't think I'll bother, Just want some tiger bread and that's it unless I get some apples to make a crumble tomorrow.
My friend's coming over about 10ish so need to get some bits done before then.

Lil-me hope DS2 and the rest of you are feeling better this morning.

Triker Happy Christmas to you all! have a fab holiday and rest plenty, you deserve it....see you when you get back xx

Happy Christmas Denise....oooh it'll be Christmas Eve in your house today/tonight (I'm confoosed.com) then :j

Had a wobble last night......burst into tears which came from absolutely nowhere and couldn't stop, poor OH didn't know what to do lol he gave me hugs and lots of them till I stopped - he had a snotty shoulder think it was stress that had built up - feel fine this morning.

work till 2 ish today then I'm off, I love my job dearly but I can't wait. Got to brave the shops when I'm finished *groan* few last bits (still) I've been gven lots of pressies and wine and chocs and money and cards off all my customers - that is something that has touched me deeply cause I wasn't expecting it, I suppose you tip the cleaner the same as you would the milkman

anyway, I ramble......will have to go and get todays list then see what's what for the flying front...
