Afternoon tea 6/12/06

  • Hi all

    Any chance of a coffee then? I've got some homemade shortbread if anyone wants some. Very nice (if I say so myself).

    No tree up in my house yet. I get the job of doing that with the kids so probably this weekend. Most of my pressies have been bought / made so only a few to get. Got to wrap them all. I'm thinking of wrapping when I watch love actually tonight - yep I love a good chick flick! well I'll be watching Nigella work her magic in the kitchen (sadly not mine) first.

    Hi, all this talk of Christmas!!! Got NOTHING done at all. (well got cards and wrapping paper in sales last year!). To be honest doing hardly anything this time. Am getting DH some pressies(bought with pigsback and lightspeed vouchers) and thats about it. Noit getting a tree this year which sounds sad or miserable but it isn't honest. We have loads of different fairy lights and it looked lovely last year so more of the same. I have got all my little bits for the children I teach/have taught(I stay in touch with most of them). And thats me done. To be honest this is only my first full day up for ages so its a good job I dont have loads to do!!!! I also dont like mince pies EXCEPT COSTCO mince pies which are the food of the Gods. I go into a HUGE decline on Jan1st as I will have to wait till 1st Sep to stuff myself sensless again!!!!!!!!!!!! Cattie will try to PM you(keep getting locke dout of the site!) later. Its so GOOD to be back. I have missed yoy all SO MUCH. AnnieXXXXXXX

    Thank you Annie - She's much better now, thanks - my eldest daughter went up to see her at the weekend, and, judging by the shopping list that she had dictated, her appetite is certainly not suffering.:rolleyes:
