    Shades of Kevin "blOOdy". Wilson, but the language there is far too foul for here (but the only time I laugh at that particular word - which is the worse of all the swear words so look it up at your peril)

    Happy Christmas to all xx


    1. The excitement of DD when she came in to me at 2:58am to open our stockings....


    2. The excitement of DD when she opened her presents, especially her stethoscope!!!


    3. My excitement at my lovely presents :)


    4. Church first though - and how yummy to have a chocolate-based retelling of the nativity!


    5. Not tipsy, just happy :)


    6. Did my good deed for the day again - and peeled the spuds (polishing my halo :))


    7. Can't wait to do more essay-avoidance by reading all my lovely new, mainly education-based, books!!


    8. Cuddled up earlier with DD to watch one of her favourite films, Tangled :)


    9. Looking forward to roasties, champagne and hopefully more trifle!!
