    Ready for Christmas? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Hoping Amazon and John Lewis deliveries arrive in time and praying that the wrapping fairies do their job while I am at work :D

    Wondering if the oven will behave so I can do pavlova too as everything seems to be breaking at the same time :(

    What will be, will be :T
