Thanks MrsMoo ... yes, its that kind of day, strangely what a shame about the Nutcracker ticket! I saw his Swan Lake a few years ago in London, but I was ill and I can't remember too much. Any chance of catching the film somewhere else?

Thank you Rosa! I had a nice lazy day yesterday, after the night out - tho there's a few frantic phone calls going on here and there about the Boxing Day meal, which isn't sorted yet. House renovations near Christmas ... who'd do it, hey? Not me!

Anyway, my list is done, and none of it is particularly dfw apart from cleaning the "public" areas of the house, as I have four hours work today, it has to look acceptable

Absolutely love the Dr Seuss quote - might have to print that out!

:rotfl: at you scaring a bishop!

Karmacat

Its the way of it, isn't it :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Right, Christmas developments seem to be going well .... my brother's youngest son is manning up :D:D he's so capable - in spite of earning peanuts right now, he's lived on 3 continents doing all sorts of stuff - so more than able to sort a family Christmas :j just got to check my mother's still up for it too.

So sorry KC I missed your birthday I was in Cardiff and my dongle let me down not sure why it seemed OK but just wouldn't connect

Glad you went out and had a good time and can only echo what others have said don't compare yourself to others you are unique and that is what we love about you

Hope Christmas works out OK and hats off to your nephew getting stuff sorted :T

:hello::hello: :hello:waves frantically as DT's light is still on! Thank you for your good wishes - I don't really compare, I don't suppose, its just that I wish I was out and about doing more stuff, sort of thing.

No problem with not getting on here on the day, I know you're rushed off your feet - and dongles will do what dongles will do, sadly

You had a little baa-lamb round your way?

Nephew continues to be brill, and things are pretty much sorted. Sister has just been round for a :bdaycake: gluten free from Waitrose :j so all is definitely well with the world.

DT waves back :wave::wave::wave::wave::wave:

Yes the sheepy one finally turned up 4 days late and we managed to be in the same place at the same time for a couple of hours although at one stage it looked like it was going to be a rendevouz in a service station

Definitely approve of cake gluten free or not :j:j:j

So pleased all is well with your world can't ask for more than that

Ooooh - I missed you birthday too! Sorry! Teach me not to check in for a few days....

Anyway a bit late but

HAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY!!

:bdaycake:

Loving the Dr Seuss quote too - and so true.

Don't you dare start comparing yourself to anyone - you are fab as you are! :T

Karmacat

Aw, thank you miz! Thats really nice and checking in every so often is fine I'm checking in less and less often myself

No paid work today, loads tomorrow and quite a bit on Thursday, and the timing of all that was a real stroke of luck - my sister could come round, I could be around for an all-day delivery for a bedframe off the internet, and lots of bits got done, Christmassy and otherwise.

I'm going to be switching the fridge freezer off - the motor is definitely dying, and I don't want it to blow up or anything - even a 1 in 100 chance is crazy to take, so my sister's got a couple of kilos of frozen veg from me (she brought me loads of stuff incidentally, I certainly got the best deal, bless her). I had a sense it was on the outs, so I've been running down the food in there. Still, it means that this afternoon, I've been very focussed on using food, cooking it - quorn, onions and carrots, and .... ta-da, finally, blackberry jam :o:o they've been sitting in the freezer since I picked them.

So I've still got to clear the space for the bed, and construct the bed ... oops ... still, its here, and thats the start of the second part of getting the house to rights :j:j:j
