    Sat here feeling very ungrateful :o
    Just opened a present - and wondering what the giver was thinking.
    She is normally known for choosing just the right thing, but I am looking at a 'knitted and sequin' bag far smaller than anything she has ever seen me use and in a colour that doesn't go with any of the 'evening' stuff she knows I wear. :confused:

    I am trying to imagine a scene in which she picked it up and thought "That would be perfect for *** "
    And THAT is why I dont like pressies;):o:D


    We are off into town today to do pressie shopping:o:eek::eek:

    ETA: Happy birthday Crafty:bdaycake:

    and love and hugs to all, especially Toots, L-L and Diva and Tris:kiss:

    Time fly's when your having fun x
    well it wasn't like they didn't know I could chat (see siggy BUT it wasn't all me;)) I walked up to them and said the magic word - 'Pigpen' and off we went - after I had got out my loyalty card!

    I'm liking your style!

    Happy Birthday CRAFTY:bdaycake:
    Just made some fudge - used evaporated milk;)
    inspired by Kazm and Quillion who had the recipe with her. She also had the most beautifully typed and formatted xmas list :cool:

    WM x 3 TD x 1 (on cheap rate - waking up at 5 has its advantages!) Towels are washed, dried and can be put away!

    Lots to do - works night out tonight, in Steel City (gawd knows where and I am driving!) though the mutual acquaintance I share with AnWs isn't coming as it's too far to taxi back for her. And DD wants to go to the New St Trinian's Movie so I *suppose* I shall be FORCED to accompany her ;);) they kick them out at lunchtime then they can't riot in the restaurant.

    Beds stripped!
