Hello all :xmastree:

Nearly there...........just a day to go. Still pressies to be collected. Be glad to get them out of the way now.

susan -good to see you back -crikey sounds like you've bought half the butchers shop !!
We're just having roast lamb with all the trimmings........got mince pies, sausage rolls, pork pies, nibbly bits and that'll do for us. Plenty of tele to watch, books to read etc. and generally do 'our own' thing.

Hope you're all ok and have a great christmas if you're not about tomorrow:)

Happy Christmas in advance xx

The kitchen is finished and unpacked, the gifts (aside from the Beastling's) are all under the tree, the shopping is done and the house is definitively clean enough for visitors. The Beastling and I did our normal Christmas Eve gift giving to homeless people yesterday instead of today because it was forecast to be bitter cold today (and it is).

I am going to make cheesecake and shortbread this afternoon and then it's Christmas!!


Merry Christmas to everyone, special thanks to mum2one for the challenges every month and festive :grouphug: all round. See you for 2012!

I'm currently knee deep in wrapping presents and hampers - a much longer job than I remembered!

Anyway - cleaning half way there now and gammon in cola currently cooking ready for tonight and tomorrow.

Merry Christmas everyone and see you in a few days!

Hello all :xmassign:

Hope you all have a brilliant time - don't forget to make time for yourselves and not get bogged down with cooking/washing up/clearing up etc.
and thanks to you all for listening to me turning into a 'grumpy old woman' from time to time.
New Years resolution - 'always look on the bright side of life'

Have fun and keep well:)
