    Not sure what we will do on Xmas eve, maybe let Keira open a stocking filler type gift, or a pair of pyjamas (nice ones to look good in the pics!)

    Christmas day, will be, open gifts, play with gifts, chuck all paper and cardboard in cats direction, then tidy up the mess. I'll start getting dinner ready, think OHs dad, sister and her bf are coming for dinner because his mum has to work this year. Keira will open their gifts, stuff our face with dinner, slob out with a Christmas movie on and fall asleep.

    That's mostly good news, elle :) Shame about the squash though!

    I've been thwarted in my attempt to acquire a pair of Jimmy Choos from H&M - so I've been bidding up to precisely half what I'd have spent on them on Irregular Choice on ebay. Hurrah!

    Mmm germknodel recipes look quite easy, I may have a new Christmas dessert to try! :)
    And that's great news Elle! :D Sorry if it was a hard day, at least you have a bit more holiday to recover!

    I think it would be quite easy, I've looked at them before, the only bit that may be hard is the plum jam that goes inside because to be authentic. you'd have to make it or get hold of the german stuff as its not like english jam. I'm sure it would be yummy with english Jam though :)
