  • Morning,

    Cold and wet at this end and my car doesn't seem to like it. It was really juddering on the way home, probably because it's cold. Let's hope that's all it is anyway.

    I've got a long list of things to get done but I just want to curl up in bed and go back to sleep. I'll put the washing on first, then if I still want to sleep, I might.

    Btw, thanks for all the offers people keep mentioning on here. I've got nearly all my Xmas pressies sorted now. I just have to get one for James. I'm debating about giving him the Hotel Chocolat box and getting something else for my grandad but I don't know what I'd get him then. Whereas I have some good ideas for James, even though they'll cost.

    How much?!?! :eek::eek::eek: I take it the wine is never to be drunk and so will sit on display and look expensive for many years to come!

    It better get drunk (and I'd better get some)! Is part of OH's birthday pressie, it's the same vintage as him :rotfl: Was going to buy a cheaper one but this is a variety we had on holiday which was very nice.. :o

    Fair enough then! They can be a good idea - something a bit different! But at least make sure the bottle's kept! And I do hope it tastes good - wouldn't that be just the worst thing if it didn't?!

    Becky - re: the lovely coat - if you are going to get lots of wear out of it and it's not a cheap make, so £100 is well worth it! PLus the pigsback points too, that's very good! If Wednesday goes as planned, then it can be your treat!

    Love your quote by the way!
