    Hello :wave:
    I completed my week's worth of nsds with getting No 7 on Saturday. Yesterday was my cousin's xmas-smiley-011.gif lunch but we've unleashed a monster :eek: Last time we saw S, we stopped at a localish hostelry on the way home & me muvva enjoyed the change, so we called in again :D Considering the pub was purpose-built only about 10 years ago, it has a wonderful village atmosphere with low ceilings & a real log fire.


    Cuzz lives in assisted housing with three others who are on a similar developmental scale & they invite all four families each year. No 1 Offspring was our chauffeur this trip; The Offspring like to see S too but only go one at a time because space is limited & the residents get too overwhelmed if there's a lot of people around :o Me muvva really excelled herself this time tho, by being the only one to snog xmas-smiley-003.gif :rotfl: & I came away hoping that I don't follow her example when I grow older, as I can be embarrassing enough NOW speechless-smiley-003.gif

    Number 7 for me. It's a bit crazy for me at minute with so much sickness at work and ALL my course work needing to be completed by the end of the week - normal service will resume sometime in 2040... see you all then ;)

    Happy NSD gathering to you all! xx

    Another NSD for me yesterday NSD #8 I think.Today was almost a NSD but then I saw a certain online store and sacrificed it for a couple of nice things.. Hopefully they'll be early Christmas presents, but this is dependent on someone being nice enough to give me some money.
    Thank you competition posters!
