  • Yes, I agree Ed. I must say the best family Christmas ever was 3 years ago, we were really tight for cash as we had both houses on the go (with sale ending and completed 1st week of Jan) and had moved into our "dream house" but was currently in a terrible state, I had to put a coat on before going into the kitchen and the ice was inside on all the glass windows. The house was brimming with too much furniture due to significant downsize (but with extension in mind), we had everyone over (bizarrely, esp due to the amount of available floor space) parents, in laws, sil and family, bro and family and dinner was challenging.. we sang carols whilst brother played piano and I spent the least I ever have on presents as we were struggling (was paying out £1000 a month on mortgage due to having 2 houses). Was the most memorable Christmas to date.

  • Back from watching girls play.. so proud. Went in 2 cars as Dave giving his parents a lift (don't like going out in the dark) and had a really nice chat with dd1 on way home, its strange how quickly they becoming mini adults.

    Now a lovely glass of wine as no work tomorrow.
