NSD no 10 today.
Dire dire weather today.
Still battling with the Christmas cards :eek: :rotfl:

Oops knew there was something I'd planned to do today... pleased to say weather here today wasn't anywhere near as bad as forecast so did some outside things instead. On the down side this involved a trip to the shops and so I am still stuck to NSD 9




Smilies not working for me tonight - anyone else having trouble ?

I have 2 NSD's to report

one for yesterday, i sneakily passed on getting my partner gloves - town was packed anyway so I wouldn't have got a chance to get him some anyway

one for today, had a meal at a really posh place for my mum and dad's 20th wedding anniversary and everything was already paid for.

Errrr, rewind missy....Partner?

Ennessdee Towers crimbo decs up and lights twinkling away - check.

All the veggies for the meal prepped, and the sprouts timed to start cooking on Tuesday - check.

Just one more thing to sort out, Igor - the ninety-two pound turkey!!!

I'll be there Nargle, sorry I've been AWOL except for rehearsals, been mega busy in RL, and amongst other things, next time I think of doing homemade presents, someone slap me (hmmm, see a queue forming already eh?) I have been sewing a Santa sack for my niece...it comes with free acupuncture :eek:

I was watching the sewing programme on last night & imagining how I'd love to be among all those bits of braid & rummaging in the ribbons *sigh*.. & then there's that woman who professes to make a 'bargain gift' from one of the cashmere cardies she has shrunk, with the help of a top-notch artisan to show her how!!! If that's the cost of making bespoke gifts then High Street tat, here I come

That's my favourite time of this part of the year; feels like pulling off ya boots & wiggling ya toes in front of a crackling fire, once you know there's not a single thing left to get *sighs again*




No 3 welcomed to the hearth yesterday, although I almost gave in to the desire for some garry baldy; it was far too wet & the wind was very windy to sacrifice a strategic nsd for... & my trousers fit better than they've ever done & I want to wear them over crimbo *looks for signs of immerging spare tyre, to burn new body shape into brain* but the real battle will be thisaffta when I must go shopping *bites bottom lip in scared anticipation*

Number 6 is in!!!!!

(No, Igor, you can't play Fairy Godmother, the evil wizard, all three of the three bears AND the pantomime cow. That's Hubert's job, and it comes in Act Two after his bit as the pony pulling Cinderella's coach......now, everyone, let's run through the audience participation song again! Yes, the one they do whilst the finale scene is being set up. All together now, "We know a song that will get on yer nerves, get on yer nerves, get on yer nerves.......")

( And Igor - don't forget the turkey!!!)
