    Awww, Mudders, hugs! Lots of them! Particularly over the dropping of the bottle of wine - THAT'S a tragedy :eek: My most sincerest condolences...

    Don't be too upset - there was only a glass left at the end of the bottle so I've had to open a new bottle and it would be rude to only have one glass!!!:Dxx

    Ooooh I've just had a phone call from my DH, you know, the DH who I never complain about and who is just PERFECT! He's gone out for a drink with a few mates and one of them was panicking about what to buy his girlfriend. DH suggested vouchers for massage etc which his mate thought was a fabulous idea. Cue DH to sell £200 of vouchers for me:eek::eek::D. He's popping back here after they've finished to pick up vouchers and see my clinic. Thanks to this thread all I've had to do is put the heater on and the place looks fab!!:j:j:j. As i've always said....my DH is perfect :rotfl:xx

    Hugs ALL and Kaz............OH gave me money last night to get vouchers for his nephews....Great...Then he gave me some more cash, so I said I won't spend that much tomorrow, so he said to get something for me.....very sweet, anyway, I bought lots of food and stocking fillers for DD. This evening he asks me what I spent the money on , so I told him and he asked what I bought for myself...I tell him "nothing".....thats when I realise that it was my Christmas present!!!! It WAS what I asked for....I just expected it in a card on Friday!!!!!

    Anyway laughed about now.....I will get myself something in the sales :)

    Still catching up...........
