    Thats what my friend said Taxi, its finally given in to overuse! The poor shop assistant was mortified - its just lucky I had money in the house. The new card arrived today though so cant complain with how quick it got here!

    I love this weather BOB nice and cold, went out to Liverpool last night without my coat on and everyone thought I was mad but you know its seriously cold when I succumb to a coat - hate the things.

    Work night out last night was good, drank too much and went on the big wheel after cocktails which was interesting to say the least.

    Going to do the dreaded wrapping tonight, is it only me that hates this? I am no good at it neither which doesnt help.

    Hope everyone is well xx

    Hi Penguin

    Christmas wrapping chez Wol is done Christmas Eve pm/evening in front of the telly with a glass or two of mulled wine to take away the pain :D....and accompanied by the squeaking of piggies in response to paper rustling as they keep thinking they're going to be fed more treats:rotfl::rotfl:

    Hope you have a lovely Christmas my dear
    Much love
    Wol and piggies

    Thanks everyone, Happy Christmas to you too.

    I am slightly tipsy due to the fact I am uber organised for the first year ever. Dad and brother came up tonight to drop the kids presents off and I could hand their stuff to them without a mad panic to wrap and write cards - I am becoming a fully fledged grown up!

    Hope everyone has a wonderful day x x x x

    Inapickle - we finally had some snow last night - it was perfect! x x x

    Evening all, hope everyone had a great Christmas. We had a lovely day opened presents with OH and the kids in the morning and then went to Mums in the afternoon for dinner and more presents!

    Had a quiet day today because I am now full of cold - great! Not back in work until Tuesday so plenty of time to do a bit of housework and studying as I have an assignment due in on the 6th Jan.

    OH been working hard and it is paying off and we should hopefully complete Target 2 (N power) ahead of time and pay it off at the beginning of Jan - yeay!

    Hope everyone is well xx
