    DD has one - do you want to borrow it :)

    I too will be adding up OP's - small, large and indifferent on Friday :D. In between controlling you lot. Oh yes, and making my final payment on mortgage #1 :j.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

  • I disappear to spend a bit of family time only to come back to SheWee conversations :eek: Now I am trying to figure out how a onesey and SW would work together - I fear I may be tying myself up in knots :rotfl:

    Not sure poor Froggy will be able to cope :)

    Ooh MRN, now you're talking my language :T:T

    Right, off to catch up on a few diaries then need to see if I have pjs for the all day party at GGs place - 2 sleeps to go :j:j:j

    :xmassign: 1 sleep to go and work is over until January :xmassign:

    No pennies to OP in bank accounts
    DD has repaid her debts :)
    I do have some loose change at home - will pay into bank and OP (thanks US)

    I am writing my Xmas shopping list tonight and shopping on Saturday morning. This is the first Christmas when there will be so little food to buy. The joints/turkey are in the freezer, veg prepared and in the freezer, so it's mainly fruit, salads and nibbles - I have always spent too much on Christmas food in the past. However Mr T is going shopping with me, so I may have to tie his hands together. Christmas food shopping with him is a little like taking a small child to a sweet shop - I kid you not :rotfl:

    Right call starting, have a good day

    So it's not just my Mum that takes the lyrics "feed the world let them know it's Christmas time" literally when she does the Christmas food shopping!

  • Evening, I think my week isn't going to be a slow glide to the end of the working day, more like a 100m sprint and skidding into a wall :T

    Work went completely mental today :eek::eek:

    Anyway, shopping list complete. The diary is rammed for the next few days with catch ups before Santa arrives. Looking forward to Christmas Eve, mulled wine, mince pies and a quiet family evening. My close relative who has been under the weather for the last couple of months will be with us and I can't wait :xmastree:

    I didn't manage to whizz to the bank with the loose change but Mr T has kindly volunteered his services tomorrow. My plans have changed so I'm in the office tomorrow, but hopefully leaving a little earlier.

    I had wanted to reconcile the bank/cc statement with receipts, but frankly I can't be a&sed so that's going to have to wait until after big couple of days.

    Need to get some shut eye if I'm to hit GGs diary for 7am - don't expect make up and hair to be done by then. Although a glass of Baileys before work sounds like a plan to me :rotfl:

    Night, Tilly x
