    Rainmac I had a bit of a panic yesterday when I saw the counter on my blog saying 9 days to Christmas:eek: I was sure it was only last week it said 78 days :confused: It does seem to have come round all of a sudden.

    I have just been to the library to pick up a book I had ordered Kim Woodburns biography. I have read the first 2 chapters and its just as if she is reading it to me.... weird.... think it might be a tissue one. Then we called at Sainsburys for DH a fleece jumper they are only £7.50 and ok for in the house, so why did the bill come to £59 :confused: I only went on Monday and spent £43 :confused: Roll on when the shops shut :rotfl:

    Wifey have you heard anything yet? Its freezing cold and raining here today, and I have to go out again to the hairdresser and then again tonight to Weight Watchers :( Don't ask.....I might as well throw my money into the wind lol

    Ooops my M&S order has just arrived. I'd forgot about that, better go and hide it quick :)

    Afternoony all!! :D

    I arrived safely (just) from bunbuns house!! DD was mesmerised by the naughty kittens and wouldn't leave them alone :rotfl:

    Flourgirl: You sound like me with the shops!! Let me know if the book is any good please? Don't think I will be getting any books for christmas which means I need to get the host by stephanie meyer cheap after christmas!

    TheWife - Any news yet?

    Choccy - Sorry I meant to txt you yesterday to say a big thankyou for my pressy and the parcel :) it arrived safely!!

    Padster - wow lucky you! I very nearly ordered the love anyas ... but then decided against it as I am skint ... maybe somewhere will have a sale on everything after christmas!

    I had an email from craftwork cards (did I miss the free postage or did they just not bother??) Anyway they have something new ... this I think it looks fab ;) what you think?

    Rusty – Beautiful card for your OH

    BunBun – hope you had a great birthday

    Flourgirl – how did you do at WW
