There you go Squizz!

I then spent Sunday afternoon with him - we took both lots of kids for a long walk, then back to his for hot chocolate and the kids all had pasta in cheese sauce. They got on brilliantly!

Red, I'm really scared as I've never had any other feedback for my poetry than on a forum

There is nothing worse than not being able to get your gearbox lined up;), could you not have given him a hand?:D

Elfen, good luck!

You're all right, I need to toughen up. I'm just not sure where the boundaries are - when doing something that's expected of family becomes being taken advantage of. But I've done more than enough for sister recently, and I've just built a rod for my own back - she's come to expect it and demand it.

Anyway, going to make my 'comfort food' dinner tonight - pasta with chorizo, sun dried tomatoes and olives.

In other news, I went to the German market today and got the herbs and spices I wanted. Then decided to get some potato pancakes for lunch, asked how to order it in German and the guy said 'I don't know, I'm hungarian'. Ooops.

I'm wearing a padded bra for the first time since I was 15, I messed up on the asda clothes order and thought I was ordering a normal one, I'm big enough as it is! I feel like Monica in that episode of friends where she was working in a theme cafe and had to have fake ones.

Nothing ventured.... (I think you're really brave as speaking in front of lots of people would terrify me!)

I'm terrified, but I'm hoping there won't be too many people

Well my list for today is all done except for Brownies and that's not until 5.30.
Little visitor has gone.
Maybe Christmas card writing time.
