    Merry Christmas to the lovely MSE family :xmastree:

    What a glorious day. Work in the morning then long old dog walk. A few bargainous items at the end of the day - anyone have a spare freezer :rotfl:

    Mum is having a lovely time with the kids and there has been much laughter.

    I'm sure our neighbours can hear the carols from their sitting rooms :rotfl:

    Mr T has had a long running battle with Mr A supermarket and is now £60 better off as a result of complaining :)

    Night all
