    Good morning everyone!

    Just catching up with yesterday's posts, ooh what a chatty lot we are! Well done Kerri on the CC, that's great, on the home stretch now!
    Welcome 12months - stick with us, we'll help you get to target!

    BIg Mumma - hope the oven worked ok -are you sure you didnt burn the kievs on purpose as an excuse to call out the hunky fire brigade?;)

    BDINI - that's a brilliant result considering the stressful time you've had lately.
    In fact I think we all do brilliantly, considering all the various demands on our time and energy!:T
    I am now officially on holiday till 4 Jan:jToday I have my appointment at the dermatology, so I'm hoping for something that will help banish or at least calm my psoriasis. After that I'm coming straight home as I am full of the cold and I'd like to try and get rid of it before the weekend. Hopefully it will be a NSD today!
    Got number 14 yesterday, and also got treated to lunch by my supervisor, which was lovely. I also got a nice box of chocs from the team leader I'll be working for in the New Year, so it was rather a good day!:D

    Have a lovely (calm) day everyone:)


    you will always be rich enough to be generous.

    Wish you luck with that Jinty, I have a friend with psoriasis on her hands. She's had the allergy tests and is allergic to loads of things. Feel for her. She has to wear gloves all the time, people make fun of her at times. Not much fun I hope you get something to help you. :grouphug:

    Monday & Tuesday clocked up two more spend days for me....

    On Monday I picked up a 400g pack of 'deli style' ham and 2 packs of lamb style Qu0rn grillsteaks.
    Yesterday I picked up 3 tubs of 4 cheese pasta sauce and 2 Panetonne (one of which DS is already over half way through, slicing it in thick chunks across the round and toasting it as if it were hot cross buns - but at 9p each I'm more than happy for him to do so :))

    Yesterday our weather forecast was showing snow for Sunday aft/eve, which plays havoc with my plans to take him home (and visit family) that day. Would almost certainly mean a 2nd week with no rubbish collection (our council collects on B/Hs, but they won't go onto estates with snowy roads so they didn't collect from us this Monday - and my bin, which hasn't been put out since 11th October, is going to be pretty much in need of doing next week). But it's now changed to indicate the snow won't arrive until Monday - but that between 6am on Monday and 'close of play' on Tuesday we're due another 1.5-2 inches of the stuff :eek: (So we probably still won't get a bin collection if it starts before lunch, and it's also recycling week with my brown bin - plastic, glass and tins - also needing to be put out for the first time since early Sept). I can see me having to drop bags of stuff into my green bin (garden refuse, but not currently in use) and then transferring them across into the appropriate bin once the others have been emptied......

    Thats me up to number 12 and 2 in a row (this is for me really as I am trying to make my 6 in a row happen NOW).
    Tomorrow will deff be a NSD and so should Friday. Sat and Sun are a little bit of a cheat............no wait they arent - there are still shops open in town and there is of course the internet so I will count them if I manage to resist the spending.

    Hope everyone is feeling better xx

    Thank you for all the lovely words and kind thoughts. S.Dad is still in hospital but he's doing ok.

    Yesterday was NSD #5 in the end as I didn't go out for cold remedies until today. I'm feeling a bit better today too so thats good.

    Kerri - that's great news, well done.

    SF - hope you're feeling better very soon.

    Spoon - hope you're feeling better very soon too.

    IF - I'm loving your Christmas cartoons!

    Hugs to all,

    honey x
