    You don't need x-ray glasses, just Google Images ;) (not child friendly!).

    I once pigged out on Lindt chocolates to the point that even now I still feel sick at the thought of them, even though I absolutely loved them at the time!

    But the ones in the boxes are too. Ok you need to buy a whole box and they are all the same flovour but... That means while you are sorting the stocking you will have an extra few to keep your energy up ;) We always have tons of the boxed ones being reduced in the new year, last year they were 30p a box, I must admit to buying a few :whistle:

    I went to the German market, had a nice mulled wine (I even ordered it in German) while I walked around. Saw lots of nice shiny things, but I'll resist! There was a stall selling big bags of herbs and spices so I'm going to go back when I've got more time and get some, they were so much better value than in the supermarkets.

    Phoned dad and he's offered to pay half towards my new tv for my xmas present, yay!

    Then phoned mum and she was totally off her face. Slurring so badly I could barely make out what she was saying, and forgetting what I'd told her straightaway, asking me the same questions over and over again. It's how she used to be every night but for the last few months she's been loads better. I guess I should have known it wouldn't last.

    Becky & Beanie, thanks for your kind words about the volunteering, it looks like I wont be able to do it though :( all the agencies would expect more time than I can give. I've got other options for volunteering though, and I can always do A levels and things. Thanks for your well thought out response too Snaggles, it was very dignified!

    Right, time to make tea and then watch house.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
