    sadly there is always a carrot anyway BB that I have to bite into and pretend Rudolph nibbled - he can't manage a whole carrot as everyone leaves him one but strangely enough Santa never has the same problem with the glass of wine....

    mince pies only come in packs of six and noone ever likes them apart from me so not going down that route! I think he'll be making do with some chocolate digestives this year as they are already here, DS will eat the rest and I can chuck a couple in the bin or out for the birds without feeling too wasteful.

    lol, no i realised you were talking about OU! (which is total pants btw, the !!!!!!!) It was just that when I read back my post I realised it might be a bit strident and offensive, especially if someone is feeling vulnerable...

    And I can totally empathise on the uncomfy bra!!!

    And Spuyd, I'm hoping for that money you got some seriously good supplies of alcohol and treats in !!!!!

    cool and thank God cos since I have just offended my Mum I really can't cope with upsetting my online friends!

    (why when you have just woken up does she come in and talk about food shopping) (I love her but I feel like kack just now!!!)

    I bought two bottles of Advocaat today. Snowballs every night for me!!!

    Well, some of it was alcohol and treats, but most of it was the Guitar Hero game thing with the guitar and drum kit :D

    Also, damn the Grabbit board - found Heeleys on Amazon for £9.99 :rolleyes:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
