    Ok so who wraps all their stocking presents? What does everyone put in their stockings? i.e. do you get little things like a bar of chocolate, satsuma, toothbrush kind of thing or do you put more in? Im trying to decide whether to put things in which were more expensive but still small enough to put in...ho hum

    Well typically as it happens I'm at his from Friday (using up some holiday so we get an extra day :D) and then hes down at mine on Thursday night (24th) till 2nd I think :D

    Even better have discovered free parking over the river and because there's no congestion charge from 25th he can bring the car which means we can go racing on xmas day :D:D, just a 5k though but thats cool!!

    I wouldn't bother going in..what if they are busy and they need you so to speak...just phone in and tell them what you have and you are on anti b's and no way you can go in. I can see why you would want to, so that they can see you are ill, but if you are ill you are ill, whats the point in dragging yourself there

    Ive done a mixture of wrapping and none wrapping. Does Joe like to do colouring or drawing Bun?

    Yeah some of the parkruns are doing xmas specials (i.e. a race on the friday and saturday) - not our local one though so we need the car to get there and then we'll do the local one on boxing day :D
