That was the study dusted and vacuumed, conservatory dusted and vacuumed, some presents brought down for wrapping, some clothes taken upstairs, some bits of washing up done and finally desk area tidied

Mudbath

Sexymouse - using a glass is fine so long as you flour it well or you can't get the pastry/biscuit mix etc out.

Piggers - we got the belling sandringham just after christmas last year when the oven died on us and we absolutely love it.

Happy christmas and happy travelling to all of today's travellers. Hugs to all xx

Soappie - he was gone three and a half hours and it's only a five minute drive away. Apparently it was mobbed and not that much left on the shelves though i'm not too worried as he did spend £200.05!!!!!!!!!!! Saying that, he's not done a shop since I went into hospital on the 11th and prior to that had only spent £56 this month on food. He's just gone to lidl's for the last few bits.

I went to the docs and got antibiotics. I was out of the house for just less than an hour including a five minute walk around Lakeland and I haven't felt this tired in my life!!! Lol. Off to have a snooze! I've managed to develop my son's cough so it's a case of clutching a cushion to me so nothing moves when I cough!!

Speak soon and hope you're feeling a bit better piggers, soappie, valli and any other sickies. Hugs to greenbie too.

Nearly forgot - gryfon - have you thought about getting a new phone for yourself:rotfl: xx

Valli

Dusty - no noone's ill they know that OH was in a huff coz he went to stay so I think they feel a bit weird about coming over. They're not big on Xmas but I was looking forward to it and I'm disappointed. My OH is working Xmas eve so he won't be out of bed til about 3ish on Xmas day then he's working that night too. But I can't complain coz we need the money. And I got a book I ordered from Amazon this morning so I have reading to do.
