Countdown to Freedom

All this organised Christmas talk on your diary is seasonally affecting me. I almost bought chocolate coins yesterday!

:eek: almost 7.45 and I still haven't showered or walked the pooch!

NSD ahead unless Mr T manages to buy tickets for a concert. So I guess it could be a NSD or a HSD (huge)

I haven't been to a concert for *years* - which is odd, as I spent most of my youth from roughly 15-22 doing nothing but going to concerts...

They seem so extortionate these days, a colleague wanted to go and see the Killers and she was talking about £££ for a pair of tickets.

I have to question the value of that unless it's a band who you feel some great connection to?

That sounds so much nicer than my lasagne!!

Hi Edinburgher, I agree some tickets are ridulous but I have an entertainment pot and xmas pot which, thankfully, I pay into each month. That will fund the splurge. Its a long journey and memories for us all are collected on the way

I went to loads of gigs when I was young, far more simple affairs than today.

Hi Tilly,

It sounds like you had a productive wrapping and ironing weekend! I tend to wrap as I buy/make so there's seven presents wrapped in the drawer under the spare bed already but I only pick up the iron if I'm sewing (MrMRN is in charge of ironing and mowing... and that's it!).

Im getting christmassy just reading catching up on your diary!!
I am have seriously cut my present list this year, have a few pressies already and am going to try to buy the rest one a week in the lead up to xmas in the hope that I dont notice the money spent!

I will then have a day and put xmas tunes on and do all my wrapping....love the wrapping days!!

On the price of concerts, my first was Rod Stewart and the faces at Lewisham Odeon, with an unknown called Billy Connolly as support. Cost was £2.50 which included the youth club minibus from school to the venue. Compare that with price of £72.95 for Hot Chocolate, Leo Sayer and David Cassidy at Wembley next month. ( no, I am not going!)
