Christmas Flylady Thread 21st December 2009

Right, I must move. I am going to wash up, make a cuppa and then have my hour to myself (watch the casualty that I didn't watch today). Then I will get showered and dressed and go up the road, and sexy I may join you in a latte, gingerbread for me I think. I have a free coffee voucher that I've been saving for just such an occasion!

Does anyone want to join me for a HHC at 11.25?

Mudbath

I've got over my moan so i'll join you holly in the hope that it will warm me up! xx

I think I must be going a bit dippy. I have just twigged that I have accidently ordered 2 ribs of beef for Christmas dinner. One from Abel and Cole and one from the local butcher:rotfl::rotfl:.

But worse still, I ordered a bargain gravy boat and saucer from debenhams, only to discover when it arrived that it was just a gravy boat saucer!

Ooo whilst I remember, I need to get the watches I have bought for the twins for Christmas altered. Need to work out how to measure their wrist without looking suspicious:D

Are they girls or boys? If girls, do they have any bracelets, or could you have an afternoon of making friendship bracelets together? Another option is to measure the circumference of one of their sleeves on their jumpers.

Right, off out to have virtual coffee with Rach - I've gone off the gingerbread lattes Rach - they seem to have changed the recipe in recent years so it's much more cinnamony.
