    Sorry to hear about your friend...so tragic leaving little ones behind.

    Glad the wedding was lovely for you and that you managed to get back safely..the weather is scary.

    you have done well saving for things you want which is a massive turn around.

    Sorry to hear about your friend especially as she had little ones

    Glad the wedding was lovely if I got married I would like snow so I could have a big snowball fight, although might be tempted just to attack 1 person

    The groom? Or the MIL? :rotfl:

    The funeral was a fitting tribute, but very sad. The boys were too little to truly understand, the poor mites. :(

    Went to pick up my last little bits this afternoon and ended up picking up my brother an extra 'Stig' box containing a car-shaped soap and shower gel for £1.99, so that's him well and truly sorted overall!

    I've spent a few hours wrapping presents tonight, and delivered a few to my best friend and her family. I think I might finish one more tonight, then I'll have to wait for mum to be elsewhere before I can do hers.

    And I need to tidy my room, cos I refuse to sleep in an untidy room on Christmas Eve: Santa will only leave me a lump of coal if he sees the state of it! :p

    Right, stuff to do. See you later! x

  • Indeed Mr Santa will leave you a lump of coal in a smelly sock (that he will pick off your floor) if you are not pickletidy!

    (((((((((((((((Hugs))))))))))))))))))) very sad business for you and those who loved your friend

    Wedding sounds blissful, well minus the carp weather and the 2 HOUR WAIT..................I would have had my cross knickers on about that one! Did you trudge up the hill in slinky wedding shoes? Cant really see Oink Wellies being a good look?

    :rotfl: Crikey, Reddie, I'm bad, but COAL? What do you think I have in there? :rotfl:

    :rotfl: :rotfl: Luckily I had mum's little black wedge mules with me as I had to get out of the car to close the gate after we drove from the house, otherwise I would have been stuffed. And as for waiting, it didn't surprise me in the slightest - as I succinctly put it 'Santa will be here before the bride!', but it was wasn't all her fault as the weather was truly shocking and the car couldn't get her up the hill. Also, that's the only bride who might conceivably be later than me, if I am ever daft enough to get married! ;)

    (P.S. It's my welly sock that are oinkers (6 euro TK Maxx specials! :D), BTW: my boots are Cath Kidstonesque spotties! :p)

  • Cool wellies - mine are purple with baby pink spots, my sister bought them as a joke when I moved to the country - who's laughing now I ask you!

    Santa wants very tidy rooms - nothing less than perfection, you know the deal. My 3 year old neice assures me he has a naughty list..............and I am at the top, with her sister second! Not so sure what we did to deserve such honnors!

    :rotfl: Is it just me, or did wellies get a lot trendier (and a lot more necessary) lately? I've worn mine loads these last few weeks and I like wearing them cos they are trendy! :cool:
