Aww Pigpen hope tomorrow goes well for you xxx
Ruth we have an itinerary (haha) it'd be great to meet up, I've not looked at the details yet, too much to take in today. But the show is booked for Jan 28th xxx
Looks like we've all managed to survive the day, I too had a 'forgot' the blooming stuffing! I remembered with 20mins cooking time left and the stuffing took 40 mins ha. Glad I bunged it in tho it was really delicious We usually have M&S caramelised onion, chestnut and pork one so I picked that up and got bacon, pork and leek to try and think that may have been even nicer. A proper treat. Night night my lovelies xxx

Festive Princess JJ what a Christmas present that was! Your darling goddaughter starting to walk xxx

Was just about to put evening and noticed the time :eek: aarggh its Boxing Day already, where did today go??? We have had a lovely day, DS cooked dinner so i could relax and it was lovely, we played a game after and watched films, i have been thoroughly spoilt, bless DS his present is Debbies 2014 challenge, and he has put so much thought into it let alone blooming money, i have two big boxes of wrapped presents that i can only open on certain dates to do with personal challenges, like take a small walk on my own, wii fit, write down my resolution for the year, read a certain book, baking certain recipes that i wouldnt try before, its all to help me rid myself of this depression and anxiety and build my confidence up and also at the end of each month i get a treat, so januarys is £100 to redecorate my LR if i complete all the challenges :rotfl:I have just ordered wrapping paper and crackers in the sales for next xmas I hope everyone has had the day they wished for and not been run ragged x

:j it's Boxing Day :j

I survived with only one little blip. Dad phoned and I knew I should have ignored it but I didn't. Put the phone down in tears. But then I texted him saying ' Thanks for f**king up my day.i was quite happy until you phoned. Have a nice Christmas ! ' I felt a lot better after that

Ds is actually wearing a onesie :eek: and he thinks they are quite comfy :eek:
He beat every one at Monopoly again. ( I hate that game :mad: )

Dd is now at a friends. They are going to visit her family in Epping tomorrow. The girls are going to Lakeside shopping and leaving the boys at home. Rather them than me. :rotfl:

Plans for today are - Robbie for a couple of hours. ( oh my poor lounge) then me and ds are playing Guess Who . I may have a chance of winning that one.
And bacon/sausage rolls again. I bought too many of those part baked rolls and they need eating by tomorrow.

Don't know about anyone else but I think the TV has been poor this year. I did watch Scrooge this morning. The one with Albert Finney. It's one of my favourite Christmas films. But apart from that we have watched films on demand from Sky on the Roku Box.
We just watched 'The Watch'. Not one for young kids but we found it very funny.

And the dog has obviously eaten too much cr*p as she stinks. :rotfl:

Hope you all had a nice day .xxxx

Eta Freespirit we crossed posts. Glad you had a lovely time.

Ps. If I get time I'll start the new thread tomorrow. Will post link on here. cx

OK I know I said I would start the new thread tomorrow, but it's not a 2 minute job and once it's started it needs finishing.

So I did it now.

Hi all,
just a quickie from me. Yesterday was better than I expected. Went to visit dad who was alert and chatty (much better than he was xmas eve) I survived visiting Hubby's family with only one weepy blip and felt more relaxed than I have in quite a while.
woke up this morning with an unbelievably sore throat and feeling generally bleugh.

Hope you're all enjoying the festivities xxx
