    Morning everyone, well it's nearly here...:eek:.

    I was so exhausted from the upset and worry yesterday I feel very drained today which isn't good.

    Hopefully I'll pick up a bit as the day goes on.

    Don't think we need anything particularly, I'll prep my veg later I think.

    Still no word from Greenbee, getting worried now, really hopes she's ok. Thanks for texting her . ETA sorry just seen the update from MOAM, thank you so much for that. Pleased she got there eventually.:T

    Pink winged so glad your daughter made it, again lots of good luck and safe journey vibes to all those travelling today.

    Poohbear, sorry your feeling poorly hun, sounds like your OH is looking after you though which is nice.

    KazM....stop thinking about work...think about other stuff instead :rotfl:

    Piggers have a lovely christmas dinner, hope all goes to plan.

    Ashia, glad the leaks stopped, sounded awful.


    Thank you all for your get home safely vibes for hubby last night, I was truly very worried, it is/was so treacherous out there.
    Thanks again for just 'being there'. xxxxx

    Hiya and a happy Christmas Eve to you all.
    I've been thinking of a few people who used to post too. All the ones you've said and I often think of Chunky and Polkadot - sending very happy Christmas vibes to all those who are no longer posting.

    Pink-winged - oh my giddy aunt, I think I must be a tad emotional as I cried when I saw your DD had arrived home! Have a wonderful Christmas with her xxx

    Great to hear Greenbee got their safely.

    My list for today:
    Prepare veg for christmas dinner
    Mix yorky pud batter for tomorrow
    S&S the kitchen
    S&S the bathroom
    set up the video & camera!!! Fully charged and ready to roll!!
    Quick whizz over the clutter and carpets.
    Relax, enjoy yourselves and have a lovely time with your family!!


    But first of all we're off to the piccies (thanks Dusty) and pizza hut xx

    Well apart from about 2 things all the wrapping is done! I reckon a HHC will see them wrapped and everything tidied away. I then need to start baking ready for this evening and making sure everywhere is tidy.

    grrr

    no flying for me today, it took 1 hour to get out of bed and that was with help from my OH!!

    My back has gone big style and I am very uncomfortable to say the least, still am up now and have had pain killers and a soothing bath (that was funny...getting in and out, needed a crane really but had to make do with OH!!) So now I am sat in front of the PC, on a good note I have been paid...not that i can go out and spend any of it.

    Should be cooking Christmas dinner next door for my in laws, hmmmm, not sure I can stand that long, hey ho
    Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last
