Since Sunday I've also
been to Mr M's twice (yesterday for the last few things for snowman making in school and today for buffet lunch/food present for German assistant
made up hamper with typical English Christmas stuff for assistant
sorted presents for DS2's teachers etc - just need to wrap and write cards
kept up with e-mails, DW, WM, TD

Yes but they're running out fast and they're quite dear, I did hunt around but cheaper organic online have sold out so I didn't have much option for online ordering.

Why's BIL being like that then?

because he thinks he can.. what he doesn't know is we have spoken to a solicitor who deals with conveyancing etc and know he is entirely breaking the law.. he thinks he is keeping their £300 because he didn't keep the building in good repair and a window fell out.. not in.. out!

If I ever suggest again that I am going to make fudge - STOP ME !!!!!

I have just finished it - this is the 20 minute recipe :mad: :mad: :mad: However it does look good and I cant wait to try it

Toots - it would have been quicker to have done the painting !

Triker - have a hug honey x

Kiwiblue - welcome. Now either you're as mad as I am for still being up at this time of the night or as your name could suggest you might be down under. As far as the thread goes (or fred as Pigpen sometimes calls it) each day Pigpen adds the next days tasks to her 1st post on page 1. Toots is our official meeter and greeter and will send you an email once she has chance in the morning, oh and just to make sure they see you, you need one of these in your post :xmastree: and yes we are slightly mad as we add them at any time of the year not just Christmas.

I'm off to bed now so see you all tomorrow

Morning ladies,

'Ding dong merrily on high,
In heav'n the bells are ringing:
Ding dong! verily the sky
Is riv'n with angel singing.
Glor-or-or-or-or-orrr, or-or-or-or-orr, or-or-or-or-orrria
Hosanna in excelsis!

E'en so here below, below,
Let steeple bells be swungen,
And "Io, io, io!"
By priest and people sungen.
Glor-or-or-or-or-orrr, or-or-or-or-orr, or-or-or-or-orrria
Hosanna in excelsis!'

Kiwiblue - good to have you with us

Thank you to everyone who noticed I wasn't here yesterday, (even if it was only the carols you missed :rotfl:) I was touched.

I did speak to Tris very briefly in our early evening yesterday but he really sounded awful. Our mutual friend says he isn't doing well at all. Tris keeps telling me not to worry and that he is getting better but he obviously isn't.

Still have horrible toothache - it's making my jawline and up to my ear just ache and ache and ache. Yesterday I couldn't sleep and certainly wasn't up to posting, I was like the bear in that headache advert! This morning Ibuprofen and clove oil are keeping it down to a dull throb (no naughty thoughts now please) I am sticking to liquids today I think as yesterday even soft food made it all hurt.

Anyway, enough of that - off to find my list.
