Sounds like you're being modest...

OK maybe you aren't!

What is it that makes 'a small farm/orchard worker's cottage' sound all bucolic and Vicar of Dibley? I love it already. I must give you the name of my builders...

:rotfl:It's a rather nice cottage, red brick at the front, cotswold stone at the sides and render on the back!!! I could do with having one extra room (for crafting etc), a back porch/utility room and some double glazing. It can get pretty chilly here at times, despite the wood burner! Got a few builders lined up to get quotes early 2012...just might get something done next year.....only been waiting 16 years!

I will be eating the abandoned coffee creams...

Oh, you beat me to it! My family always fight over the coffee ones, there just never seems enough..unless you get a bag of coffee creams on their own...yummmm!

Re Christmas Day:

We are off to MIL's in Fife for 5 days over Xmas, will be fun and relaxing. I do like my MIL, so long as she stays out of my kitchen!!!

She is 82 and still travelling the world on cruises, coach trips and golfing holidays. She manages a couple of rounds of golf a week when she is home, though not at the moment with all this terrible weather!!! :eek:

Ooops, just realized the time...need to get some shut-eye, lots to do tomorrow/today.

Night, night x

Rodders and I will be at my big sister's for 4 or 5 days with me stressing out incase he isn't behaving :mad: At least there will be a few people around to keep an eye on him/amuse him/wear him out

Hoping to go to a Carol Service at my nieces old school on Christmas Eve, it is always a lovely service

I love coffee creams!

I'm working until 8.30 on Christmas Eve, hopefully if we aren't late I'll make it home by midnight, eat chocolate all day and watch rubbish tv while dinner is made drink a little bit and return on boxing day in time for work at 3pm. Will be seeing MrS up in Fife on my days off which aren't NYE either

Hope you all have a lovely day

Ooh, you're visiting Fife too!! Most of DH's family live in Fife, so we could well be out and about all over the Kingdom..weather permitting ofcourse!!! Sorry to hear you're not getting much time off during the festive season...but decent money I suppose !

Unfortunately it's the same... no extra money as incentive! I've asked for unpaid leave 3 times and still nothing... :mad:

Well, I shall be visiting if it hasn't all blown away :rotfl:

That's rotten about your pay and lack of time off. Hope you can get up north OK. You could always "get stuck" there for a few extra days ofcourse.....:D:D
