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!

What a nightmare! Glad I was only walking today.

KH is piggers way of describing her soon to be ex husband and I like it so much I've copied it. It stands for Kn0b Head.

Better check my list before I get battered by toots

Hi all!
Thank you all very much for the birthday wishes! I've had a lovely day, we went into town to get a few last Christmas bits then as the weather was nice here (lucky I know, but we had sunshine today..!) we went to the beach and had chips with loads of vinegar! This evening we've been to the pub, now Im going to catch up with the soaps with a glass of wine..
Flying wise, um, I did a bit of washing up ...

chickywiggle

well Flygang,

I'm so cream crackered I think I'm off to bed - its looking like an enforced day at home tomorrow so will get up early and fly.

My legs & arms physically hurt from keeping the car straight and safe - having a medicinal glass of vino, then away to my pit.

Moam wow, that's like it has been here, pleased you got home safe.
OJK pleased you popped in, Happy Christmas & all the best x
SSL no never sent one before, never received one either. Sorry I agree with the 'he sounds like a right twerp' thinkers. Valli's suggestion is great!
soappie pleased your DD got home ok & you have NN
rosepink well done for going & getting something sorted
carlsberggal good news your DS is home safe
Triker do they not delivery from your pharmacy?
Summermoon I think the term 'passage' is used a lot more up north, front & back
Mudbath eeee how cheeky :rotfl: enjoy it honey & keep it that way!!

Didn't get all the work done today we hoped, I don't think it was possible in the time we had, but did get loads done, you can now WALK THROUGH DS1s room for the first time since we moved in. DS2s room is complete we can take the wardrobe out for him to give him more space now it has been rearranged, then will use that in DS1s room which will probably take another 3 hours ish to complete & put the old broken drawers in the garage. DP helped a bit more by wiring up DS2s PC, vacuumed his room & cleaned the window. Managed the final part of the evenings party, 2.5 hours would have been too long anyway. Main roads are pretty ok here.

Sat blubbing through 'A night of heroes' I rewound, counting lucky stars & remembering fallen friends. Pleased the people of Wooton Bassett have been recognised. Off to bed once I have finished watching, I need to clear my bed vefore I can get in it, so will say goodnight now, stay safe my friends x
