Merry Christmas to one and all, hope it was indeed somewhat spiffing and everyone got what they wanted.

got my nike+ and "The Pacific" wooooo

Setting this up as a weekly chat as opposed to a daily chat as it pretty quiet.

Any thoughts?

Task for the week:

Enjoy your family!

    Doomcow, good morning and hope you had a great Christmas.

    Think this might be an idea as chat is realllly quiet now, but if it gets unweildy (sp) we could go back to daily chat.

    There seems to be some inclination of perhaps a tha here today. It doesn't feel quiet as baltic and looks like it could rain, although everywhere is so frozen the rain may just turn to ice.

    Hope everyone has a great boxing day.

    weay! boxing day!

    yeah i actually want to get out and try this nike+ but dont think i mquite right enough to do it yet after the flu - maybe a day or 2 but certainly before the new year and i'll get it tested out :)

    of course have the ipod conundrum too - which to use or get a new one.

    the thaw is well on here - although as the snow / ice has been piled up we now have mini mountains of cold about the place. plus the roads in the estate have not been touched by grit, shovel, people etc... and its already damaged the underside of my car :(

    anyway, reckon i should get up...

    Happy Boxing Day everybody, and i hope you all had a lovely Christmas spent the way you wanted.
    We visited both sets of parents, which was successful, saw his parents in the morning, then lunch and afternoon with mine, them home to play on my new wii :)
    Today we have cleaned the house, enjoyed a visit from his parents and sister, and mine are arriving later on for tea.
    No pennies spent for two days :) cant be bad.

    Off now to make apple pie & cook some stuff for tea.

    Hope all are well

    Loves xxxxx

    Happy Boxing Day everyone.

    Doomcow great idea for a weekly chat rather than daily.

    Elliemoo, it ws -9 when I got in the car thsi morning!

    Shoegal, hello.

    Lizzie, that's good not spending money in the past two days.

    I got spoilt yesterday and have been to the sales to spend my vouchers and bought myself a book that I didn't get for Christmas despite the massive hints to my brother! :p

    have a great day everyone.

    Lots of love,

    ah, now - for an almost relaxy night hopefully playing some f1 2010 on the xbox, or setting up the old ipod touch to ensure it works still / setting up nike+ potentially.

    need a good sleep - shopping and shops tmrw and gym also.

    bought me a wee holder for the nike+ shoe sensor today + also csi miami season 3 (for a bargain £8!)

    hope all is well
