So, Pigpen, I'm expecting christmas trees with red baubles on a yellow back ground with a gold star on top? Am I right? Anyone else want to guess what her nails look like? Ok, i'm bored and waiting for DH to come home so I can get to the garden centre!! xx

Have a great one toots,

I got woken at 8.15am by the complaints bloke from the council who the councillor had contacted. Nice guy who has given me his mobile number so if there are any future probs I can bypass the call centre. He's been to the depot and instructed them to do the bin today, so we'll see. It's a principle thing with me now too!

Have just made a tray of nigella rocky road and about to do some of the Christmas pudding bonbons too as presents for DH's aunt and uncle. Feel rather festive! Apart from that all i need to do is wrap 2 photo presents i've been waiting for, put the last load of washing in and put the dry washing away. We're off to the pub to meet friends for lunch at 12.30 too.

rach

vivw - i am sure you can

soappie

Mudders - I reckon she'll have 9 nails with a different reindeer on each and a big fat santa on a thumb!

But I must away up the corner shop for milk and cider before they run out - back soon

froddington

Ok, anyone want to join me for a


HHC 11:00 - 11:30 ?

lil-me I'll be thinking of you later today.
LadyLiberty hugs hon. This is my 2nd Christmas without mum and I will be going up to the crematorium first thing tomorrow with a nice bunch of flowers for mums pot. And I'll probably have my usual moan at her too - for some reason I always moan at her for going so soon. Still it helps me and then I have a laugh while telling her what I have been up to, or not in some cases.

Happy Birthday to all those that have birthdays over the Christmas period
