morning all, hope everyone is well.
23 December? 23 December?? It feels like late October to me, I just don't feel remotely like it is Christmas. Next year I am going to have to kidnap a couple of small kids, watch their nativity and carol concert and then give them back to their parents when it is time for present shopping! :rotfl:
Had a bad night's sleep, this is such a weird cold, it took me ages to get myself out of bed. Off to work in 5 minutes. Last day today which is excellent. Meat and supermarket food arrives today, the meat arriving always makes me feel Christmassy!
Have a good one all.

I am the same Skinty, had to get showered and dressed before I felt in work mode otherwise I would just slob about.
Things are going really well with OH and I at the moment and I just wanted to recognise and give credit to the good times, instead of just complaining in the bad:oBut these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.0 -
morning all......just got email to say we can finish at 1pm today!! Yipee!!
That will be me until the 5th of Jan too. Cant wait, so looking forward to this holiday.
Had a weird dream last night. Dreamt on a plane which had to drive all round these streets before it could get to the runway to take off, when we did eventually take off, we were shot at. Dont think we fell out the sky but I am sure i have had that dream before where we did. Woke up feeling really unsettled.
Car is poorly sick. Was in yesterday needing two new front tyres and front springs and when driving home from garage, got a warning light on and not enough power. Turns out the ignition wires have gone and they need to be replaced. Blinking expensive and money I didnt have. Not been able to pay any debts off this monthDFW 228 LONG H 68

P.s what is Stollen? is it cake?Nevertheless she persisted.0 -
Awww Lou that's lovely.
Mine on the other hand is being rather confusing.....lots of late night from the heart talk about the future (initiated and lead by him I should add), and felt as close to him as I possibly could bearing in mind he's about 400 miles away.......and then this morning......NOTHING! Not even a reply to my text
I know it's early and it's not time to worry yet but we ALWAYS text to say good morning.
I'm not cross or upset.....yet.....but I'm doing a bit of this ---> :rolleyes:"I wasn't wrong, I just wasn't right enough.":smileyhea97800072589250 -

Lou - why is you in love this morning, more than ever?? (edit - i see your post above! lovely that is!)I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....(it's part of my charm!)0
