:beer: TNG but mines a coffee no booze for me tonight, right kids are in bed so off to do the kitchen then when they are asleep it's wrapping time. I just hope I bought enough paper :eek:

Punky

The Dolls house is FINISHED :j:j_party__party_:dance::dance: I'll take a picture soon once the varnish has finished drying It's taken ages but looks good even if I do say so myself

OH has wrapped DD's pressies (I did the difficult ones :rotfl: ), and I'm about to finish off the last of the journal jar for OH's grandad and then get printing SIL's pressie out OH has been out and bought a lever arch folder and some dividers as that will be cheaper and easier than sitting and sticking everything into a pukka pad

Right, off to find a file I need to finish a the journal jar off

:rotfl: I did that, and couldn't find some presents, was in such a tizzy, so determined to do it tonight, just incase, but they can't sleep.

Well done getting the house finished, have been watching your progress Nicki and looking forward to seeing it.

Hi everyone

Have spent quite long enough dragging myself around thanks to virus, was starting to believe 'it won't matter if it doesn't get done', but realised today there is a minimum I just have to do. So kicked myself kind of into gear, then had phone call from daughter asking if friend could come and eat 'tea-time-ish' on Boxing Day. Decided I had enough stuff to make 2 terrines: one pork and prunes soaked in brandy; one pork ,chicken and lemon. Made them instead of doing anything more useful - have just found out from other daughter that the guest is veggie! Bless them, eh?

I shall wake up tomorrow feeling energetic
I shall wake up tomorrow feeling energetic

I hope you all have a great time - any veggie leftovers, throw 'em my way.

PS I must be on the mend - I have been right off alcohol during this virus, but have just managed a glass of Pinot Noir - may well test the system with another one.
