was it worth it though?:p:rotfl:

It started off early, and finished up late :rolleyes::rotfl:

I wont know the gossip until tomorrow, when I go back to work... but I thought it was a good night

A busy afternoon - Iceland shopping done - wasn't too impressed with their Christmas selection this year so didn't get much. More wrapping done - just stocking fillers to do which take ages.

MOJT - what are your kids doing in Stoke?

Tomorrow I need to try and get the house sorted before everyone arrives Christmas Eve for tea.

I think I'll have a quick look at the list and see if I've actually done anything on it!

Kids back and had a great time. I made them get a taxi up from town with DH as the road outside our house has turn to a sheet of ice.

Popping to a friends in a minute for a chat and some wine with another friend. Quick list update before I go.

they are with their daddy and is girlfriend. If they have been good then apparently Father Christmas was making a special visit to his house as well

Plan on getting all the ironing done. Was watching Eastenders (I don't know why it is always so miserable and predictable!!)

OMG!!!! What a day.

Work has been sooooo busy. But we had an extra staff member on today so yay! Triker was it the Boots in town that you said? Coz if your extra items are in tomorrow I could pick them up and drop them off for you if you want. I'm in town and moving around tomorrow.

I've done no flying today coz I was at work all day, then got home and we have friend over, so I'm claiming a no fly zone for the day. I'm up tomorrow rom 5 though, so I'm gonna fly before the shops open...in theory.

Soappie glad your heatings working
julie congrats on your win
pigpen sorry or your owwies, and your loss
Mudbath I like your style.

For anyone I've forgotten, Hugs and Loves all round!
