Well, went to pack the stollen away. they're all a bit hard, but need to have the butter and sugar treatment then leaving for a week or two. Unfortunately I made them rather late.

Have started my sewing for money that arrived today. It took nearly a week to get here. One of the other girls got hers the next day! Shan't bust a gut over that, got lots of other bits and pieces to do.

DH has finished grouting the ensuite guest bathroom, so I have that to clean and the bedroom to sort out ready for my parents. DD is borrowing the car tomorrow I think. She has got some work.

I shall just potter to my heart's content. I expect I shall get some visitors tomorrow. DH got me some lovely flowers yesterday, has ordered me a wii fit for birthday (well, starting from scratch as we didn't have any wiii stuff). He's had a big new telly for Christmas. Managed to Freegle our old one today to a grateful family.

Tired, must go to bed.

Hi all,

Been a strange day here, very cold and I am feeling very unhappy as I lost my phone yesterday...not sure what happened, think that it dropped out of the car and I drove over it....no sign of it this morning when I went to look, a phone is a phone but all my numbers are gone, I used to remember numbers I wanted but have got out of the habit since I went mobile...think that I will give up on them altogether!

Got the teacosy finished and have now decided that I might get a couple of hats done for some of the stockings...your stuff looks lovely csarina....you have so many talents...love the Christmas cards but would never manage them.

Nic1.... good luck tomorrow.

Tree is up and lights on but not the decorations, hoping that DGS2 will 'help' me to-morrow afternoon.

Bargainbird....hugs....my OH is fine until he has a drink and then can't get enough so know how you feel.

NO Diva to-day...hope that she is ok.

Glad to hear that Haribo has just lost her access, not her ability to keep us all amused...come back soon please. Nice to see you posting Pink....hope that you won't send any of that white stuff down this direction, looks pretty nasty on tv.

Really need to finish our shopping to-morrow morning and then I will hibernate until 24th when I will probably make Midnight Mass.

Sleep well everyone, take care in this awful weather. Hugs to all who need one or would just like one.

Well, eventually got to bed - got dh a few things sorted for going away to work in the morning, helped dd sort her packed lunch for work. Hung the washing that I had re-rinsed cos it hadn't got hung up, put next lot in to re rinse. Doh!

COuldn't settle. let's just say my tummy is a little unsettled. Cause unknown. Dinner out maybe? DH is OK as far as I'm aware and we had tapas, so shared quite a few things.

So I'm up again. Been doing a bit of tidying. Made a cup of tea. hung next lot of washing and put another lot in. Had a load of stuff going round in my mind, so will unload onto my whiteboard with a list for tomorrow. Set of whiteboard markers is on my birthday list. Hope someone has got them for me! How sad am I? Also hoping for fluted pastry cutters.

Going to do a few rows of knitting of socks for dnephew. One is done and needs grafting , other part done,

See you 'later'
