    Print it off and what do you have? Enough bog roll for a family of five for over the festive period.

    Talking of which, I need a discussion about the remaining presents to buy. With the husband of course.
    Have seen no sign of anything for me yet, apart from the jacket I bought. If thats it I will be cross!

    They obviously value your custom so much they are hand delivering it. Why don't you suggest postponing your direct debit payment by 2 weeks due to Christmas:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

  • Hello lovelies. Well we lost gran 2 days before christmas. We will miss her. The day itself passed in a whirl of paper chocolate and gravy.

    Hope you all had a wonderful time. We made the most of our family time, thats what good grans teach us all.

    I will be back, from outer space! In the new year and will start a shiny new diary.


    Love to all my online marras. Speak soon x
