    Have to admit the course I really wanted to do had a lot of lectures at diff times and most days I would've been put the house from 7.30 till after 7 pm and for me that wasn't possible ... So I landed up on that other course I did and I'm sure you can remember how that worked out for me

    Lol I remember that well El, it did keep us amused even if it drove you mad:p

    Today I've made the most of my free time and had a fab run (bit windy down the beach mind) also had to go pick something up at a supermarket about 10 miles away so did that and managed to get some cheap decorations while I was there. I wanted an advent calendar that you could refill for DS and just forgot to actually buy one, he said it was fine but has since been doing the "woe is me, so unloved" act (wind up merchant) since so got one half price and chocs to fill it so he'll be happy:D Also managed to get washing out on the line so will text and ask him to bring it in later.

    Hope he remembers to bring it in :)

    We never ever got an advent calendar ever ... There were just too many of us ... I never quite understood what it is about them that people like ... I think though if I had had one as a kid I would've understood :)

    I missed out on so many childhood things when I think about it lol

    He did but it was nicely plonked on a chair in the kitchen:D

    We had an advent calendar each year but it was one with pictures between 3 kids and the horror if it was something dull on your turn - pah a candle!!! It kind of added to the build up of getting near to Christmas and anything that cheers up the dull, dark winter months is a bonus to me. Obviously my family Christmases were a bit different and there was lots of church involved where as here it's all about seeing family and chocolate:o
