  • Morning all - pleased to say that both the fridge & freezer have been well fed (that did make me chuckle Modesty):D

    So .... loads to do today as haven't wrapped pressies yet / stuff in the washing basket that I want to take away with me :eek: / need to empty the car as it's got loads of [STRIKE]junk[/STRIKE] stuff in it / need to sort the cats out - typically they've been getting on a bit better recently .... until the last couple of days (almost as if they know I'm going away and they'll be cooped up together) / tidy house & clean ...... oh my, I'm exhausted thinking about it!:eek:

    However, it should mean I don't have time to spend any money today!:D

    Will pop back later, but in case I miss anyone ...... images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRAGiPC3-twp-aDaWRJ6VdgMh9wQOE55cZb3sjBFNxEuwe5tGST6A

    Morning all and Happy Christmas Eve everyone!

    Having a reasonably peaceful day. Just doing some tidying and last minute housework. Funny how you have to have the house all spick and span for Christmas, even if you have no-one coming!
    OH and I are going out for a nice lunch today - we havent been out together for ages, so looking forward to that.th_mistletoe.gif
    Church tonight - our service is at 7pm, midnight is too late as the area where our church is is a bit dodgy late at night for our oldies.
    We are having a family service with which should be lovely with Christingles.thumbs_X1311.jpg



    Have a lovely day everyone th_Merry_Christmas_Eve.gif

    Good Morning Folks and a happy Christmas eve from NI:),

    I had a spend day yesterday, but am hopeful of another NSD today, as I've all the shopping done (I think) and shouldn't have to venture far, if at all. Been up since stupic o'clock and have have made the trifle and stuffing so far. I hope everyone has a good day and a fantastic Christmas:).

    Hey everyone, Happy Xmas Eve, only one more sleep til Christmas :j

    Amazingly I managed NSD #6 yesterday, not holding out to reach my target this month (well the Sales do start on Boxing Day :o) but hey ho ho ho ho :D

    Food is bought, presents wrapped and most of the housework done (oven cleaned, washed floors, did the ironing, did the washing and cleaned the bathroom last night) lay on the bed at 8pm for a supposed 30mins and the next thing I knew it was midnight :eek: crawled into bed thinking I wouldn't sleep and in total managed 14hrs kip :eek::eek: must've needed it though.

    Prob going to head out today - I hear rumours of cheap paper at HB, and I'm wondering about a womble trip to MR A but not sure even I can stand that. Also want to spend some time with OH since i bascially desserted him last night for the duvet.

    Kit has caught another mouse, I think she thinks I'm going to wrap it in bacon and cook it with the pigs in blankets tomoorrow :eek: IGOR, No! that's not a suggestion for our NYE party)
