Finally I have a mortgage I can start to pay off!

Crumpets

Bounty's are always the last left here too :rotfl:

Well done on you baking gifts :T I'd be very happy to receive some home baked goodies for Christmas

I'm intrigued about the changed words to Silent Night!

Coconut and chocolate... The coconut makes it a waste of chocolate, and not worth the calories. Galaxy or malteser...now your talking!

That would be my husband's thinking Jimmy - he can't stand coconut.

The Silent Night lyrics made mention of Mary and Joseph - I didn't really notice until it was too late, but they're definitely not in the original lyrics! And they added an extra verse at the end of Once in Royal David's City - that definitely caught people out!

Any of that chocolate is entirely acceptable round at my house



Changing the words of Silent Night????? Erm, sacrilege!

I am willing to trade toffee pennies for any unwanted bountys

Toffee pennies...a real danger to fillings and crowns...not in my house. You wont find any purple ones left though.

Can't say I'm too bothered generally about QS or Roses.... and, of course, I don't actually *want* to own any of them as they're all wrapped in plastic. That's not to say I won't eat them if offered to me! :rotfl:

Morning all,

Meeting a friend at a local-ish NT property this morning for a Christmas catch-up. I will take my newly earned NT voucher from SBs and enjoy Have done a couple of bits of work this morning and expecting more to arrive later for turn-around before Christmas.

DH has taken his car to a work meeting, so mileage money will be forthcoming. Not really our intention, mind you, as I could've have done with his car today. I've got to get petrol before I go out and will grab some cheese for cauliflower cheese tonight (head of cauli in veg box last week).

MS things:
* Clicks etc. done
* YG surveys done - so close now!
* 1P surveys done - creeping up there
* PA surveys done
* GF biscuits to deliver this morning

Gratitudes:
* DH's meeting meant we got a lie in this morning - alarm didn't go off till 7.30, bliss!
* Dawn chorus - it amazes me that the birds find the enthusiasm to sing at this time of year
* Looking forward to catch up with friend and guilt-free cake at NT place

Have a good day all!

Afternoon all,

Had a lovely day yesterday with friend - we got a tour of the art in the NT house, and got to see the Christmas decs, even though the house wasn't properly open!

Came back to an urgent piece of work - the client hadn't mentioned that he'd need it back by first thing this morning! DH ended up working late too, so it didn't matter too much - at least we got everything done.

More work has arrived today and stupidly I've said yes to it. Technically it's not due back until 27th, but I don't really want it hanging over me.... So more pressure for the next couple of days. I can't complain though, it's nice to be in demand!

MS things:
* YG survey
* 1P survey
* Clicks etc.
* Lots of work!
* Stashed my aldi Brexit parmesan (first world problems :rotfl: ) in the freezer
* Dinner from stores

Gratitudes:
* Catch-up with friend
* Amazing chance to see the NT house
* In-laws house hasn't been burgled - long story, but a neighbour's was last night Not good for neighbour though as she's a good friend - fortunately her daughter caught them in the act and they scarpered and she was unhurt.

Have a good afternoon all - the sun is out here today! :T
