Great news on the car :T

We've not done the elf thing as fifty quid was extortionate I thought (cheapest I could find)! My friend posted hers on fb this morning and whilst her boys wrre asleep in their bunks the elf had covered the room ceiling to roof in toilet roll was a right mess lol!

We aren't near river or sea here but I heard a few places were evacuated not fsr from here. Whilst we collected the kids from school the plastic corrugated shelter thing blew off! A few of the men went running after it to make sure it didn't hit anyone was quite scary! Nothing worse than that here though

Xx

I paid £20 after xmas on eb@y for ours complete with the storybook.

These Elves seem to quite like tricks with Toilet Roll, I'm not sure I fancy tidying it all up though. The flour was bad enough after the Snow Angel exploits !!

I heard that some of the men from the Garrison were deployed to help the flood victims your direction . Thankfully they weren't needed here after all xxxx

I wish I could have an elf. Bit silly as there's only me here, but nevertheless I envy you your elf....

Only just found your new diary, mostly thanks to Mr B for commenting on Pooh's diary and DF(w) for posting the link. Not read up to date yet but wanted to say 'Hello' :hello: Happy New Diary, here is to a happy start and a glorious end

I think I love the Elf more than anybody else. I see no reason why you cant have an Elf of your very own Piq !! xx

Im still recovering, hence my absence yesterday !!

I actually came over all peculiar in one of the shops. DD1 had to fetch me a chair and a bottle of water. This is what spending money does to me these days !! xxx :o

Oh thanks you so much Granny.

I'm sorry you lost me,we were missing you over here !!

I did try and put the link on the end of the last diary, but as you know I'm not much good at the technical side of things !! xxx

I wasn't sick when I went last week PG..but I did almost weep in the middle of the shopping centre..think shopping will never be the same again ! I also hugely resent the time it takes now!

Have a good day

Finally caught up

Great news re car

Love the elf idea, not heard of it before. Would be fun to do with DGC when they visit - will keep an eye out for suitable elf and put him away for next year.

Not sure if you got the bank situation sorted but just to let you know Hal1fax was linked to Ll0yds t5b, not sure about now though since t5b and L split. They are all part of Ll0yds group

These 2 links should help

Just after starting my self-managed dmp, I opened an account with Hal1fax with no trouble and my largest debt was with them (silly I know but didn't at the time)

Hopefully you'll have no trouble sorting accounts for DD

I knew one of us would know which bank was linked to what bank.....well done granny!

Sorry you felt rough shopping, that'll be the stress kicking in, although Christmas shopping is awful anyway. I don't have any Christmas spirit when it comes to shopping at all - a bit bah humbug I'm afraid
