    How sweet are those kittens, if I didn't have a leather suite I would have one straight away, saying that DP has a dislike for cats :(

    Well cracking on well with the list, been out and got the presents sorted, Dad' ordered DP is on his way to collect it now, he wouldn't let me get his old PC fixed so I've ordered him a spangly new laptop, he's going to kill me :) but is the first time in years I can afford to treat him and he does a lot for me.

    Best bit is now I just have a voucher to collect tomorrow for a pedicure for a friend, a T-shirt for DPs brother then I am all sorted for Christmas. Yippeeeee!!

    Off to tackle the kitchen which is filled with presents, then collect son from party! Have a nice evening everyone.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    DD1 (although alot better than she was) is still ill -now on another dose of antibiotics (real strong one this time) & nurofen, poor lamb lost her footing on stairs yesterday and sat down hard on them banging her back she just sat there and burst into tears not so much due to it hurting but more because it was the last straw as she feels so miserable at this virus lingering on. She must have sobbed her heart out for 1/2 an hour.:cry: Trouble is she's so miserable that it's holding me up getting stuff done. so for today:-
