    That's great MDW, I was thinking about you this afternoon and wondering how it was going but didn't want to be stalking you :)

    The small person is going out to dinner with Husband and a friend of his very shortly and I want to get out quickly afterwards so I can grab my sneaky takeaway and be back in time for some concentrated Quiet Time. Although my original plan was to do some sorting in the pantry while nobody's there to see me throw things out ;) *shhhhhhh*

    errrm, I think it went well! ISOM and her mum came to ours and everyone filled their boots :) The dessert was soooooo rich that it made your cheeks all warm! Thanks for asking!

    I need to do all the edits asap, because *whispers*
    we might write a lil message to martin to see if he might mention the thrifty christmas meal in the newsletter nearer the time...

    Hi Weezl, How are you and yours? Hope all is well :)

    L doesnt talk much she can do it but she is very lazy with it and doesnt pronounce her words brilliantly, but I have just come downstairs to find OH and J in front of ps3 and Lexi with her wellies on with one foot in the dog bowl. I asked her to stop and come out of the kitchen and she told me 'Go way Mommmeeee' Thanks Lex! :rotfl:

    Two worthy winners on nuby this week, my best friend's little girl won the change mat comp :j She needed a bit of good luck and the £30 boots vouchers will be very welcome for her.

    Caz I've just finished my McD's :)

    It wasn't bad, although I brought it back here and it was a bit cold by the time I got to eating it. We're close enough to the place but the weather's nasty. Still my tummy is full and once my Coke is empty I'm going to tackle the pantry :j
