Morning all. Another cold, white but bright morning here.
Just starting the day with a hot cup of coffee.
What's everyone up to today?
Decorations need to be finished but at least the tree is up. Its definitely starrting to look a lot like Christmas.:j0 -

Morning
Done some ironing, although i still have a bit to do. I don't like stopping halfway through, I like to get it all done in one go but needed to get ready to go out. We are going out for lunch and then do a bit of shopping and then visit a nursery that has a Christmas display (flower type nursery, not children!)
I have just called up to my daughter to get up but I have a feeling she had a very late night last night, judging by the beautiful jewellery I came down to this morning that she had made. She had also completely tidied up the front room (very unusually!). I feel so much calmer when the place is tidy but as it is the room where she makes her jewellery I usually come down to tables of stuff still left out!OD [STRIKE] £2600 [/STRIKE] £0 :j Loan [STRIKE]£9500.00[/STRIKE] £0 :j Car [STRIKE]£3150[/STRIKE] £0 :j Moving Costs [STRIKE]£1300[/STRIKE] £0 :j Savings £1150 :j

Been up since 6am having been out until 1am! My only chance for a lay in and I wake up at the crack of dawn, typical.
Have wrapped up all the presents and put them under the tree. Off for roast lunch with my best mate in a few hours. OH is lying in bed with a hangover! Lightweight...

Morning.
I'm trying to decide whether to go to Mr.T's or not. The roads look clear so I guess I should make the most of it in case they get bad again, but it's cold out there!
One of my neighbours was burgled last night so I'm going to look for insurance this morning. Part of me thinks why bother, the only valuables I have are a tv and a few expensive books, and the average burglar probably wont know the value of books! I guess if the quotes come in higher than the cost of a new TV then I wont bother.Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.0 -
Tenmah, if you see this, I tried to send you a message on FB but I'm not sure it got through, for some reason it keeps logging me out every minute or two.Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.0

Evening all. Getting the kids dinner ready then will get stuck into the week's ironing.
Who's going out of Strictly/X-Fctor?
Its a really exciting life I lead.
Back to work tomorrow, the weather here is supposed to be very bad in the morning so not looking forward to the school run and journey to work.0 -
Katsu, yes the excess is as much as a TV. But it's worth having anyway, just in case. Especially since I'm going to be spending so much time away in Scarborough.Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.0
