Evening folks.We are staying in tonight-have done the last coupleof years.We finally got fed up with paying double fare taxis,and high prices for a meal.So I've bought 2 steaks,nice veg etc.Thai fish cakes for starters,and various beverages :beer: so me and DH can have a nice meal,which I'll start in a minute.We've been waiting for DSons and mate to finish getting ready to go out....worse than any girls,all 3 of them must have had 3 outfits each on before deciding :rotfl:.The pong of 3 diff aftershaves in the living room is a bit overwhelming too
Anyway they've gone to pick one of the girls up before going to s.o. house,then they will all head to the pub.
Had a voucher for a £5 eye test,and picked 2 pairs of specs,:eek: at the cost.Took some stuff back to M&S,and got a couple of reduced items in Boots for birthdays.Pretty hectic up there,felt tired when I got back.I suppose it didnt help going out without brekkie,didnt get anything till 3 o'clock,we had a quick look in Marks cafe but it was heaving so we didnt bother.
Anyway,I'd better get cracking with our meal now its peaceful,but I'd like to wish every one a Happy and healthy New Year.
Welcome Julie and Shalva,and Ladymoney.
NPM-hugs to you xx
Dandy-its a difficult time for you,but hope you enjoy your evening.
Hope the poorlies get better soon.x:heartsmil 'A woman is like a teabag: You never know her strength until you drop her in hot water'. (Eleanor Roosevelt)0 -
Hi Guys!
Have a lovely evening whatever you're doing.
We are just about to watch Last of the Mohicans:j:j:j...had dinner and house clean and tidy. Toilet cleaned:p
The only money I've spent in the sales is at Lakeland £53 on 60%+ off and most of them are presents for mum and friends and look big and expensive. OH took 3 presents back today we received and got giftcards for M&S and Next totalling £47, so will look once the shops are less busy. 2 of the presents had been reduced by 50%, so luckily they had put the gift receipt in:D OH bought a few smelly sets from Boots with points, so have approximately 25 presents already for next year:beer:....we sorted through the present cupboard and couldnt believe what we had in there:o...there is a gorgeous Finest Tesco crystal fruit bowl all boxed and ribboned which I paid £4 for and forgot about and a few other Meccano lego sets for the kids.
Tomorrow we are at familys for dinner and Sunday we have friends coming over, so a nice relaxing weekend.
Anyway, I wish everyone the best for 2011.
Hugs to all

Also come out of lurkdom to wish everyone a Happy New Year. Aim for the new year will be to post on here a bit more, although am concerned I often don't have much OS to say which is why I don't post (although do read most days).
I've treated myself to an Indian takeaway for tea, and also have a nice bottle of wine on the go. I will be in bed way before midnight, wearing my ear plugs, so hopefully won't be too disturbed by the fireworks that always seem to go off! Kids are at their Dads so all on my own, and I'm afraid that New Year just makes me miserable, as have now been on my own for nearly 10 years.
Fortunately am working tomorrow, so will have some adult company and conversation, even if it mainly with all the drunkards who have been in the cells all night! :rotfl:Am dealing with all the prisoners tomorrow so expect it to be a busy day. Hope so, the day goes far quicker. Also nice to be earning a bit of double time, it will go towards our family holiday in Feb.
Anyway, hope everyone has a pleasant evening whether celebrating or not. :beer:0 -
That's Ok jackieG - pop back when you're finished. Who knows, someone may come by with nibbles to go with the wine. There's plenty of that on offer!Resolution:
