Can't sleep, OH went for a walk to the garage at ten to midnight and still isn't back despite knowing that I find it really difficult to sleep when he's out (I hate the idea of falling asleep and then waking up to find him suddenly here). Sigh.

sooo... This happened in my home town - I can't believe it's made to so many news sites & papers
it sounds really horrible. & I feel bad for all the famillies who wasted money & had their day ruined but the list of everything that went wrong & When I see the pics of the a santas that are so crap it's almost (almost) funny

:rotfl: Nanamia We call him that because he is a Gangster with fingers in everything they shouldn't be in (like my pot plant). The Malone bit comes from Bugsy Malone. It's one of my favourite films. :rotfl:

Well as you can tell, I am home. Very tired and poorer than when I went. But I got my last present ( t-shirt for ds). :j
I also treated myself to the soup bowl I wanted out of Lakeland earlier in the year, a lovely musical stag snow-globe from BHS, and 3 more pashmina shawls from the Southbank Market. ( that makes 5 now )
The man there is lovely. They are £15 each or 2 for £25. When I was there the other weekend I bought one on the Saturday for £15. When I was there on the Sunday I had another look and he said I could have one for £10 as I had already bought one. Today he said I could have the 3 for £30.

On Saturday I sat in all day waiting for a PS4 game for ds from Tescos. The email said no later than The 14th, and nothing came. He was so upset. Today I found one in Asda at Thurrock for £1 less. So when the one from Tescos finally gets here it is going back.
He is now upstairs playing FIFA 14 and eating Krispy Kreme donuts.

I had a Costa coffee today and was really disappointed it's wasn't up to their normal standard. The girls didn't like their hot chocolate either. I am now drinking one made in my Tassimo maker and it is a lot nicer.

Really should go to bed but I am over tired and the dog was so excited to see me I feel guilty coming in, going straight to bed and leaving her again.

Have to be back up at 6. In some ways it's seems easier just to stay up. I have Tuesday off work, so if I'm shattered tomorrow it won't really matter.

Off to read back again. I did flick through when I first got in, but I can't seem to remember any of it.

Sorry for the long post.

Didn't go to bed til after midnight - been tossing and turning since before 4am. :mad: I've finally given up and come downstairs. Wont't take a genius to work out who's going to be kn@ckered by this afternoon. Oh well off to make a cuppa and will catch up with yesterday's posts.

choccymoose - polar express looks and sounds amazing. The Weardale one is probably our nearest - problem is my little one is 27 :rotfl: Might have to 'borrow' one for next year. Must give the gammon/cola a go sometime - I have come across that before. I bet it is delish - yum yum

FF - hope lady wasn't just a nosey time-waster yesterday.

pigpen - hope DH parcels turns up in time. Hope you manage to find tassimo. That's the worst of this time of the year - we have to try and hiding place all over the place and then we confuse ourselves.

kiss_me_now - hope you manage to get a medical appt/meds soon. Sounds as though you have a busy week ahead. Hope you enjoy the wedding.

bunbun - sugar free marshmallows eh? Will have to investigate Every little helps so they say. :D

wuvvies - don't feel guilty for feeling happy with ds. I'm sure dd will come around in her own time. It's just a case of being there for them but you can't spoil your time with ds.

pixtotts - lovely tree :T

Gettingtherequickly - pleased you enjoyed Aladdin. I can imagine Jo Brand taking a good part.

Ruth - sounds as though you had a lovely time with your friend yesterday. Great advice re spreading the cost throughout the year. Keep adding to my cross stitch xmas pics - I'm seriously running out of places to put them now.

JJ - hope the antibiotics kick in soon and do the trick for you.

mkgirl - Wonderland sounds dreadful. Only right that it should be cancelled and monies refunded.

OMO - well done on getting your last pressie. Thanks btw - all I can think about now is hot chocolate

Well that's me caught up for now I think - sorry if I have missed anyone.

Take care everyone
