    Thanks Sugar and all - champagne could've been good or some other fancy liquor, but the man doesn't drink at all. Random chocolates ordered, it will all turn out ok in the end!

    Love the snowman MM!

    The fairy post talk reminded me that I bought myself a personalisable 2010 calendar from the one-euro shop that I'm not going to use. It just has the calendar format on a ring binder with space to stick photos. If anyone wants it shout up :)

    Kids are getting an xbox as a joint christmas pressie, but we have only just thought to look into the live membership and have discovered that it is per person, so we would need to purchase two lots of membership...I have seen them on amazon for £32.99, but £65.98 is still a lot to pay every year especially as dh wasn't keen on them even getting an xbox anyway!!!

    Do you know of anyway around this, or of cheaper membership (gold) anywhere?

    We found that out last year when the boys got an xbox.

    Hubby said he could set up an online only profile, then they'd each have their individual accounts for playing offline. That would be one way around it.

    Boys didn't like that though, but they got money for Christmas so I said they could pay for their own memberships :o

    Josh is pestering me to watch American Pie. Apparantly it's the film everyone is talking about at school and everyone else has seen it. I think I'll let him watch it as I can remember feeling left out because I wasn't allowed to watch Porky's when I was his age. However I'm tempted to watch it with him so I can giggle at him getting embarrassed at it. Is that cruel? :D
    Here I go again on my own....

    OK, my stuff's all packed, Molly's stuff's all packed, the camera batteries are charging, the passports/sterling/changing bag are in my laptop bag awaiting my laptop, the stuff for sterilising is sterilised and there's a load of laundry awaiting my attention, which will be followed by Molly's little load of laundry. The dishes are done, the rubbish from non-kitchen rooms is collected, luggage tags are on both bags, Husband has been given a list of things not to forget. Husband and Molly are out doing his last-minute stuff. Ratatouille using all our leftover veg is just finishing cooking on the stove and we have some fish fillets to go with it and some rice (also using up leftovers). Tomorrow's last-minute list is written.

    I am going to take a book and a festive Lush ballistic and spend some quality time in the tub.
