    Ironing basket empty for the start of the week.

    Relisted 4 items on ebay - just going to list one new item, I can't face having loads of stuff to post next week when the post is getting busy.

    Toots - I'm not going to any Christmas parties either but I must admit I hate them and don't like getting dressed up so I'm not sad. Sorry you are missing out, do they do something at MacMillan House?

    have added you to the list:D:D:D

    Toots

    When I get back ,and OH is working weekends, I'll come up, we will get dress up and go out, and 'do lunch', 'do afternoon tea' , ' do dinner out' ' do a theater' 'paint the town red' or what ever you want / feel up to....poss end of Jan to early Feb, subject to weather.

    So keep your eye on the local paper etc and see what is on in the area.
