Best Christmas Present Ever has just been confirmed - WE ARE DEBT FREE!!!

That's brilliant news. You must feel so proud. One of my jobs for the holidays is to sort out paperwork, so I can make a start on better financial planning.
Well done you!

two lots of truffles made - one apricot with dried apricot and apricot brandy and one cointreau. I have amaretto & almond and ginger to do.

They sound delicious. Do you have a link to a recipe by any chance? I would like to have a go at making truffles, even if it won't be before Christmas.

Had my final weigh in and have lost 9lbs. Not sure how much Ive raised yet but its over £100.00. Had a bit of a row with DD, how the heck do I know her dads address we have been divorced for 30 years. Never mind she had bought me a chocolate reindeer. Im feeling a bit stressed. Sat down for lunch and I had two knives and forks.

Soappie you have nice hands

How nice of you to say that. To me they are the hands of an old and wrinkled person! And I'm glad you have enough for food for the next couple of weeks. I'm sure Him Upstairs will provide for the bills too.

Jassa - well done you - what a wonderful place to be in!

Hugs Boddy - hope you resolve things with DD soon xx

boddy

Jassa Well done.

Soappie. We are fine now, we never fall out for long. We usually end up laughing about something.

Pigpen did OH's mum sign his card differently to yours. Sign his love mum and yours love XXXX. My mum always used to find it difficult giving a card to my XH(before we were married) and signing it mum as to her she wasn't his mum. DOs that make sense?

right of tio bed soon as i am tired
