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.

I really hope so, especially after all the [STRIKE]nagging[/STRIKE] fervent praying I've been doing! :rotfl:I'm not too worried really, we will just do our best and something will turn up I'm sure.

OMG they ACTUALLY make them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:eek: And they do the divorce one too! http://search.123greetings.com/cgi-bin/search/search.pl?query=divorce

Boddy well done on the weight loss and raising all that money! You’ve done really really well!

MOAM sorry about your awful drive – I agree about not going out!

Natty has been on FB saying that it’s taken hours to get out of Bluewater, in fact, I’m not sure if she has managed to get out yet. She got in the car to leave at 5:40 and was still in the car park at 7:50!

Can someone remind me what KH stands for? I’ve been trying to remember and can’t!


Flying...erm...I've taken DH's towel into the bathroom and hung it up, and I've tidied the floor a little.

Hi Holly

I saw the link on the old thread for the above, thanks for the great am going to try and make a few as stocking fillers but at this late stage, what could I use as the cones, I have cellophane ribbon etc, what do you use for yours?

I bought some actual cones from Ebay last year, they were really cheap but i don't think you'd have time to do that now. You can make them out of cellophane but i'm not sure how. I'm sure if you post on the Christmas board someone will know. I did do a quick search but i couldn't find the answer.

thats fabulous news Jassa - a fantastic achievement - well done to you - the hard work will be staying like that but i know you can do it - you have done so well. (((hugs)))
SSL - what a ridiculous idea for a card - tempting fate I would say - if the pregnancy is so important that it merits a card then why have they not told the future step sister about the event immediately? the mind boggles!!!
soappie hope BG are on the doorstep at 8am sharpi.
Oddjob Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours xx
Boddy well done on the weight loss and the amount you raised!!! xx

I am soo tired today and having a bit of a problem standing as my back/hip muscles seem to be struggling (holding the weight I suspect !!!) - hope I havent missed anything as I was skimming when doing the stars.

I am glad to see all respective OHs/DHs/DDs and DSs have all arrived home ehwre they should be - take extra care out there as its treacherous in some places I think (not here!)

will go update my list and then head to bed
