    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    I dislike you all intensely.. those who started the boiler probems off most... My boiler is suddenly spewing water everywhere.. still has steam coming out the condenser bit so not frozen solid.. and making a God awful noise..

    grateful hugs for you, I hope MiL has a good few months

    Onestep - hope you feel better soon too

    Not got very far today. DH has put some draught excluder around the doors, we have brought the paint to decorate our room between Christmas and New Year.

    I'm going to do the hoovering next but the rest I think I'll leave until next week.

    Moon's birthday present ordered - he needs a new shooting jacket, and I saw one at our local market on Saturday but they didn't have his size. They wanted £28 for one - just looked online and found one for £26 including delivery. Fingers crossed it arrives before January 4th.

    Moon and I have decided to spend just £5 each on presents for each other this year, as we've both got lots of expenses with the wedding etc. I've had a few ideas for his, but have yet to get some - winegums (his favourite sweets), bath olivers (his favourite crackers), some cheese to go with the crackers, and a lottery scratchcard. Will have to source them another day, as he was with me when we went shopping today. So far he's bought me a new silicone spatular for cooking and has £2 left to spend on me. :)
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Had a lovely evening at my Christmas do last night and with our friends staying. They kept saying what a lovely house it was and how relaxed they felt :D Before they arrived I kept walking past the spare room (no longer RoD) because it was so clean and fresh I could smell the clean linen :D I have a question on spare rooms, now it looks like one. Do you all keep your spare bed made with clean linen or put fresh stuff on when required?

Just looked at my list and realised I was going to do the tree today :o oh well we cleared the snow from OHs car, retrieved it and have put it back on the drive before the carp weather starts again.
