Hi all! Wow – loads of posts to catch up on! Sorry for being quiet – been camping this weekend. Luckily we escaped the majority of the bad wether! Now back to thinking about Christmas!! Got some lovely Raspberries froma pick your own farm on the way back from camping, and made my first every raspberry jam yesterday! Not sure if it’s set properly, but it tastes lovely. Also, have no idea how long it will keep? Think it’ll last until Christmas?!
All my addresses for people (ready for Christmas cards) is up to date – I’m just missing 3 people’s, but I’m quite pleased with myself!
Not touched the freezer yet, but I will….I NEED to!! And shouldn’t have a problem with getting it done by the 20th August!
One of the 4 pressies I ordered last week have arrived – complete Trapdoor collection for around £5 off Amazon!
Also had my free gift from Ministry of Deals – wasn’t overly impressed to be honest. DVD Rom of 50 games, but they are all old games you can find online. Bah, oh well, it was free!! lol
Fruit-loop – thanks for the congratulations – Congratulations for you too!! I always said that I didn’t care what time of year we had a baby, as long as it wasn’t Christmas…. Lol oh well!!
Scattymam1 – Congratulations! Good plan with getting organised early. You don’t want to be faffing about over Christmas for the first month with your new baby!!
SugarSpun – oh my, not long now!!

I ordered one a few months back and was delighted with the quality.
