    Have also been to my voluntary job. There are lots of people with arm and leg injuries due to falls. The plaster room was going non stop. I was in reception as it was too cold to stand at the doors. I covered for a while as they were short staffed.

    Have given the bathroom a good clean and towels washed.
    Happy Winter Solstice!

    I'll help

    I'll put some nice labels, brown paper tops and ribbon on my jars of sweets presents then maybe do the very small amount of ironing in the kitchen

    My internet's gone down and my tv so that's fun - engineer coming out on Thursday. So I'm now on my laptop rather than my PC. However, the LR is presentable - will just need another hoover on Friday if not before. Just need to sort the rest of the house now.

    Hugs Soappie - hope you're okay.

    Ishtar - I hope you're in bed recovering.

    Aw ajmoney We're actually in Blairgowrie, but had to go over to Cupar for shop stock. My sister lives only 10 miles from Cupar, but we wanted to get back before it got dark. Perhaps in summer we could meet up for a coffee? I'm over there quite a lot when the weather's good.. x

    Or...we could meet slightly closer to you and keep an eye on Toots!

    Hex - never been wrapped this early before and the fact that I have brought significantly less this year has helped to ;) It was my only window of time without DS3 about so I seized the moment.

    Feeling really tired so I'm going to make a cuppa and do as the list says and sit and do nothing for a while then an early night, lots to try to acheive tomorrow.

    :santa2:If any of you haven't managed to go and see santa and the kids are concerned then go to the Portable North Pole website and make a free video - DS3 loved his and is totally convinced as you add a photo and bits about them.
