    PIR - would love to know what you think of that organic wine you bought? I had about 3 months pretty much only on organic & I swear it's less damaging/hangover inducing...not that means one should drink more, obviously :o

    I've just spent the most part of the morning reading 34 pages about snowman soup, I am now totally gutted that we are only in September and it's not time to make these yet for crimbo :(

    For those of you into crimbo organisation 2009, what can I be getting on with now, making wise, which is not food orientated?

    Jo my Darling preperation is the key :D you could start a search for suitable boxes for retro sweets, cello cones, you could be getting some flannel cakes ready and why not have ago at a flannel reindeer, well you know what I mean :D. Oh and have you seen the perfect man? (Well I know we can all live in hope ;)). I did one for a single friend on valentines day with mug, choccies etc, going to do a couple for 2 more friends in their Christmas hamper. Oh since I found this site I have become inspired. Sadly I am unable to sew, I am allergic to it, but if you can you could check out Sock Monkeys :T Hope the bread making goes ok and I am sure you will crack it soon sweetheart, Hope your first day back at school goes ok. Big hugs and keep up all your good work. :T (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Fay I am so with you and the: Fairy Tale of New York. :T

    It was Christmas Eve babe
    In the drunk tank
    An old man said to me, won't see another one

    Its a great song but we should all be wary of drinking to excess and the damage it can do.

    Ok now onto something nice and fluffy. Glad to hear you have been hampered inspired so to speak :D it is I feel very addictive and I am with Jo this year I want to have a go at some crafty bits. Though I fear they are much nicer in my head than the real thing that I will turn out. Hey ho it is the thought that counts :D I am pleased you are sounding much cheerier today :j Big hugs and take care sweetheart. (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Ps I also like: Mud's Lonely this Christmas and Slades Merry Christmas Everybody. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Miss P hugs sweetheart and you are right to concentrate on our Dear Piglet, he of course should be your number one priority and you will feel better for laying down some ground rules I am sure. Oh and Dear Piglets christmas eve hamper will be just fab I am sure :T Big hugs and do take care. (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Forever Hopeful hope you start to feel better soon sweetheart, its a nightmare when you have things planned and then are unwell. Sometimes I think it is your body saying finally I can have a rest, it happens to me when I get time off work too. Also you have been under such alot of stress and that certainly won't have helped. Big hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Winebox you so make me smile you should do an online diary blog, it would be a top rater I am sure. Glad you stopped at just giving your neighbour the wine back :rotfl:But pants to DD's nits, I used to be so freaked out, I once made my: DH, DS, Mum, Dad and my elderley grandma treat their hair when there was only a hint of them. I learned after that this was not good practice :eek: I still laugh now at the look of horror on my Gran's face and the picture of her hair covered in the lotion. (She was not happy) :D But hey you are great and thats a mother's love for you: combing out the nits. Priceless. :A Hugs Hunny and it really is so lovely to have you on here. (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Nessa sweetheart: Have I read it right? Cliff in October :eek: This is by far above and beyond the call of duty for any friend :eek: Really .................. Though I did quite like his: Christmas song once: Daddys Home, think I was 17 at the time ;);) if I remember rightly :confused::confused: but I guess you have just proved what a true friend you are :T Hope you enjoy yourself sweetheart? (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Eselt sweetheart lovely to hear from you and your hampers sound fab too :T But how are you? I hope you are ok? We need to know how you are please and how you are feeling? Good luck for when your new job starts sweetheart, "you will knock em bandy" :D as Dear Ole Del Boy would say. Hugs sweetheart and lots of love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Molly Polly of course you are still loved :A I mean who could not love a Dear Ole Stokie Girl ;) gotta say though its been a horrible wet day here. Hope you are ok and keep positive, we need your whip on hand at all times. Hugs (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • :D Just popping in to grin.....

    ym you can pop me down for 2 AFD's thanks... sitting supping my cuppa with some dairy milk.....I did have a stroll on the treadmill earlier so I burnt off the calories then ate them...!


    NITS... I had a nightmare with these with my DD over a few years of primary school....my dd chose the most scratchy head kiddie as best friend...! I ended up buying a super comb think it cost about £10.. but it worked a treat and never used nasty nit shampoo since... next time I go up the stairs I'll see if I can find out its name..

    Hugs to those who want/need one.
