Happy birthday AnW's :bdaycake:

MacP - hugs on DH working - why not move Christmas day to Boxing day for once?

There, I think I've caught up. Blooming cold here this morning. My thermometer says it got down to -6 last night. I have lots to do today - including more shopping so I'm going to get some porridge inside me for breakfast and then go out and brave the cold. I think I'll walk into town then catch the bus back - there are likely to be silly drivers out there....

Morning,

Ooooooo tis very cold and icy here this morning. Lot's to do today. The kids want the tree up and seeing as I did promise that today would be the day......I suppose that I'd better concentrate on the living room. But if you could see the state of it you'd want to just shut the door and go back to bed too.:eek:

Belated Happy Birthday to Aunty Crafty for yesterday I think:o

And Happy Birthday to AnW today!

Ok listy hunt time..............

macpep1 - re Christmas and working. mt DH is on nights over xmas from Wed until 28th so I can understand your upset at him not being there in the afternoon. We like you have visitors in the morning then they leave and we have our lunch. I thought it was going to be just me and DD this year as DH will HAVE to be in bed asleep but DS has told me he will be at home instead of going to his dads and he WANTS a proper Christmas dinner bless him :rotfl:


Plan for today is ................. dont have one.

Think I might just whizz through the house doing a general straighten and hoover in all rooms habitable.
Wont be going out in the car to do my usual shop crawl as the car and gates need digging out and I'm not doing that.

OK, think I'm talking to myself now.....will go look where alll the action is..........g'night all xx

I too ordered something to collect from Tesco and DH was with me but it was in a blue bag (not see through) and sealed, think it comes from the warehouse rather than the shop
