    'Morning Mrs Mix, Computerwoman, Amanda666, Aussielass, dogrose, tru, penelope penguin, dlb, penny pincher, stefejb and N9eav ... and everyone else who follows :santa2:

    Did the shopping last night ... managed to get some reduced veggie bargains :D OH was given £15 M&S vouchers so we also popped into M&S and got some Christmas food treats ... only had to put 10p towards the bill :T

    Today I need to pop to the library .. start some baking ... wrap presents ... but first I need my breakfast!

    Have a lovely OS day everyone!
    Enjoying an MSE OS life :D
  • Morning all :santa2:

    Happy Birthday to Nelski, Happy Anniversary to Mr & Mrs Tru, condolences to Taplady and ((((hugs)))) to anyone who wants or needs one. Edited to say Aussie, congratulations on becoming mad!

    I'm a teeny bit delicate today. Had slightly more wine than I should have had last night but as I don't have to go out at all today, I can recover at my own pace. Why do teenage boys need dynamite to get them out of bed on a school day but get up at 6 at the weekend??? :confused: Woke up to the sounds of him playing his Playstation. The volume was low though so I can't complain.

    I plan to get all the presents down and put under the tree today then I really must write some cards. Other than that, I think DD, DS and I will have a quite day doing exactly what we like.

    Have a great day everyone. X

    Morning all!

    Happy Birthday Nelski! have a lovely day!:beer:

    Also happy anniversary Mr and Mrs Tru :love:

    will be off to work in a while 11 am to 10pm shift and am not looking forward to it at all after the sad news from last night. It was on my mind half the night, still hasn't really sunk in but it will today when I go in and he's not there.

    DS2 is off on a trip to Cadbury World(again!) and a boat trip so he'll be out till 8pm.DS1 had his first ever works christmas party last night so dont know what he's feeling like this morning:rolleyes: I hope they didn't let him get drunk as he's only 16.He stopped at his bosses house overnight and is coming home on the bus later.

    Have a good weekend and hugs to those who are in need

    Take care xx
    Do what you love :happyhear

    :bdaycake: Nels:bdaycake: enjoy the party tonight, wish I was there!!!! could do with a bit of fun just now.................congrats to Mr and Mrs Tru.......how many years??????

    Bright morning, sun is out, so will be putting my last load of laundry out on the line. Thought I would sleep after my baking day..... did I????? NO!!!!! was still awake at 3am..... reading...........

    Woke just after 8am, had my brekkie and decided to come on here before I start todays job list, not much on it really, macoroni cheese and baked spud for supper, will do the MC this morning. I am off to see my friend this afternoon, so will be able to just pop it in the oven to reheat when I get back, and cook the jacket half and half (in the micro and then in the oven).

    Nothing else planned, watch SCD tonight see who is in the final????? next week........have a project in mind might do something about that too.....depends what else is on TV tonight and if I can stir up the energy.

    :coffee:sitting waiting for me, will just have a quick skim the MSE and then off to put out the washing.
