    I did thanks - quiet but nice. DH wasn't working so we took the dog out together. I got almond milk and sugar free marshmallows for my hot choc - I know how to live:D It was a good substitute for the real thing!

    and then went and got a bottle of cosmopoliton to go with dd1's cocktail shaker and cocktail chocolates (shes 17 so bit naughty really but shes sensible) that was half price... then noticed tescos had started reducing their gift bits too! so got myself (i know i know lol) a tartan notebook, and dh a liquer flask (he's been eyeing them up but i've already got his pressies.. this has a mini bottle of whisky with it but he drinks spiced rum.. nm lol that was down to £6 too :D Still need to go get a pair of slippers and a puzzle for dh stocking but will do that thursday when i'll probably need more wrapping paper lol

    Spent last night doing more wrapping, watching nativity 2 and national lampoons xmas vacation.

    Seems like someone else needs to join the gang of being more selfish ;) fingers crossed everything goes smoothly.

    Well I was at the shop for 7.30am, and managed to get a fair bit done, DH needed taking to the doctors as to top it all his thyroid isn't performing as it should (I just couldn't make this up!) I've headed home from the shop now as its so freaking cold in there I seemed to have lost the ability to function! All the small bits are boxed. 90% of the furniture has been put on Facebook at huge reductions. Just need fil to come in and tell us exactly how much space they have for us to store and then figure out what to do with the rest.

    She is in hospital in London and it is a shop I need to go to anyway and the other bits I got on my Amazon Prime account so I got next day delivery free so it isn't too painful.. plus she is transferring the money straight to my account from hers to cover it all so not bad really.. I just have better things I should be doing!
