    Well done Valli!

    Was hoping to get some shopping done in London en route to the hairdresser, but trains are disrupted so I need to leave now, but suspect I won't get there any sooner. And it's COLD!

    Not warm here either Greenbee, but mixing mortar is helping. 1 mix down, 5 more to do.

    Anyone for coffee and a doughnut?

    Is there an idiots guide to copying post one without getting all the 'extra bits' that I seen to have every time? :oI have to admit it has put me off doing so lately as I can't seem to get it done without either losing the colours or having all the added instructions eg bold or size! I used to be able to do it quite staright forwardly and now I can't any more. I have been wasting flying time trying to do it today :(

    Pooh if you highlight what you want from post 1 and then do Ctrl c together then open up a reply box on here and press Ctrl v together that way you will get the words without any of the extra stuff - hope that helps.

    Really cold her and everything taking much longer than allocated.

    We have:
    Put up the new light in our bedroom - 11 1/2 months with just a bare bulb
    Put up some of the outside lights
    Pruned the greenery for Christmas decs
    Collected moss from grass for reefs
    Stripped and washed one lot of bedding
    Lit the fire and filled the log basket

    that is it!

    Going to do a bit of cooking next and then write 5 Christmas cards before ironing with strickly

    Next weeks lists

    What would you like - the normal stuff? More Christmasy jobs? Deep cleaning before the kids break up? I don't mind at all but don't want to do lists that none of you want this close to Chrismas

    We are on the last mix, Dizzy is scrubbed out and away. Seriously thinking of an emergency takeaway as we are both shattered. I have to wrap some presents tonight - I can see wine, curry and rubbush tv are required.
