Sockdrawer - Full marks to your DD for doing the papers in adverse conditions. We used to drive DD and DS in snow and torrential rain. I have many a funny/scary memory of not being to get up hills in snow and sliding past turnings and ending up in hedges! I also remember sopping wet passenger seats when the rain was heavy. I hope she gets round safely.

Hope the birthday girls and Mumof2's DS had lovely birthdays.

Hugs to mr and mrs lame wolf x x x x

Greenbee - I'm glad you think the pressie is good. I was starting to think maybe I was a bit mad. I'll let you know how it goes down.

We've put the last of the decorations up and hubby is putting empty boxes back in attic. Things are looking festive. Just sitting down with a hot water bottle to stop back hurting and then I'll s/s a little more. Things are going to plan - famous last words!! X x
