    wooo hoo was on a training day today and managed to finish just over an hour early, so am happily sitting at home with a cuppa, munching on some chocolate (naughty I know) Have done practically all of my Christmas shopping, only have a couple of bits to get, one for my sister and one for my dad, as they wont tell me what they want which is quite frustrating!!! Need to get a couple of bottles of wine to give to people, and that's it! Have ordered everything on line, and have made very good use of the Boots 3for2 offers, and have got a lot from amazon which has saved me a lot. Oh also need to order OH's speakers. Managed to get him one of those haynes t-shirts, last one in the shop and his size, so was well chuffed until i got it home and on closer inspection it's only the wrong one!!!! They don't even sell the one I was after, it's the wrong model of car!!! OH would not be impressed and neither am I to be honest. Am going to take it back, it's from a shop in a town I v rarely go to, but needs must!!

    I have another training day tomorrow, and then I only have two days left at work in that horrid dept I hate, so bring on next week, when my new job starts!!

    Got all the Christmas lights on at the moment, the house looks lovely!! So wonderfully Christmassy, really need to wrap some presents up...... but I might wait for all my orders to come in and then wrap them up as a job lot one afternoon.

    How is everyone?

    Well finished my training day really early, and was home by 12, but I didn't really had permission to go home, but as far as I know other people that have done the course haven't come back after....... so am now really worrying about it, I should have just asked, but I knew going into work would have been dire and I would have ended up staying until late.

    But I have made the most of my time, I have baked some shortbread and some mince pies, and some jam tarts as there wasn't enough mincemeat. They're scrummy, if I do say so myself. My boots order has just arrived.... yaaaay!!! So I have some christmas presents to wrap, shopping this way is sooooo much easier, I don't know why I haven't done it in previous years!!

    Well got to pop out and see my friend later, but I will try and pop on here soon.

    Speak later

    Have just helped OH wrap his christmas presents, as he couldn't wrap up the funny shaped ones!!!

    Not sure if OH is going to be here for christmas or not. Christmas I don't mind I can spend with my family, but new year, I think if he's not here I might end up being at a bit of a lose end...... what are everyone elses plans for new year?? Mind you can actually see me being quite happy with a nice bottle of wine, takeaway (well it will be new year) and MSE!!! Is that sad?? I actually have a really lovely times, reading other peoples diaries and different threads...... definitely a MSE addict!!

    I love coming on here and spending a few hours reading. OH always moans so i look forward to him going out so i can come on here in peace. I have also done all of my christmas shopping and have already wrapped some of the bits and pieces. Really need to wrap the kids things cause then even if they do catch a glimps of the pressies they will not see what they have got. At the mo they are hidden under my dressing gown in our cupboard - not exactly hidden but thankfully they havent got to that age where they go looking.

    Think i will be here new years eve if you would like some company

    I haven't done any Christmas shopping yet :eek:

    I hate New Year's Eve - think it's really overrated! So I will definitely be here :D

    looks like we're going to be having a little new years eve party then doesn't it!!

    yaaaay!!

    I'm going to try and start my wrapping today, although I'm one of those silly people that have to have ribbons and all sorts when they're wrapping up presents.

    I'm still waiting for a lot of stuff to be delivered, I've loved doing my shopping on line.

    Well I've started my new job today, I'm sitting in my new office now, it's very different,but I think I'm going to like it!!! And no one can see my screen so I can sneak on here every so often!!!

    Anyways must go and look busy.
