I went for a walk with the dog round the park yesterday and clipped a few twigs off the holly and ivy bushes (just happened to have a pair of secateurs handy) and made a wreath for the front door out of a wire coathanger! it looks very nice and the hanger bit goes into the letterbox, cost me nothing!
Bagged a whoopsie ham from the co-op today for £2.15 for 1kg so thats gone in the freezer for xmas.

Taurus, you will be so happy to have a piece of toast and a cup of tea you won't even think of chocolate.
GQ it sounds as if we both bought the same shoes and I got mine a month ago (23.99 instead of £40) and they are brilliant!

I love my family dearly, but i really love Monday mornings when they have all gone out to school / work and i have the day off :T This is the last one till January 9th :eek: so I am making the most of it
OH I so know that feeling, I'm really quite miffed that OH decided to stay in with the manflu today, as I was really looking forwards to being home aloneI wanted to sort something out to wear to an Xmas party at the weekend, and dye my hair, and he's 'not sympathetic' to girlie things. Tomorrow I have DS home as it's his 'day off' then I'm not here Wed and part of Thurs, DD is coming home Sat, so my Friday will be entirely taken with sorting stuff out for her... So once she's back and DS has broken up from college I think it will be mid jan before I get a day of peace!

I love the northern lights, could sit on youtube watching videos all day. Have seen them once here and they were all shades of green. My dad raved about them in Norway, he used to go over there on cruises to see them.0
