Back home again, presents delivered. Car was really skidding on some roads which DS1 was finding worryingly cool and funny. Said child is now doing his turn of clearing the ice around the edge of the driveway

penpen is it Church today 'cos you're Roman Catholic?

LOL far from it; we're atheist, but wanted the children to have the church experience so they could make up their own minds. We started taking them to the candlelit service on Christmas Eve from when DD was 1 and DS 10 months. They now love going, so we continue

I'm off to put a load of washing on and change the sheets, as I like to go to bed on Christmas Eve with clean sheets on the bed

Me too It's been on my list for today all week, so DH will do that later.

Now that I've finished DD's quilt i can start crocheting a blanket for our bed, with a clear conscience! Need to plan the scheme from the wool that I bought.

Had a really enjoyable family walk from the back door across frozen snowy fields. I'm JC on here while the children watch Ugly Betty. No idea where DH has got to .......
