    Sod the birds Pooky, I'd be eating that! May not last until New Year, but I'm sure it would find a good home *pats her tummy* And it does look absolutely stunning! I'd be very proud of DD's for helping make that!

    Have decided (ish) about dindins..Gonna have a jacket spud with beans and chipolatas, and maybe some custard or fruit in juice for pudding. I've actually been really good today, no snacks, no extra food. But I am hungry!

    Have been watching The Girl in the Fireplace. It's hard NOT to cry when Madame de Pompadour dies and the Doctor tries to get her to come with him, and he loved her in his way... *bawls eyes out*

    Bookie, think yourslef lucky. I don't have an ironing pile for you, as most of my clothes don't need it!

    Also, am trying to keep myself off eBay until auctions have finished. Or I know I'll just be disappointed.
