Angela - Hows the head.... hope everything settled down and youve managed to catch up.

Touch wood no major incidents with allergies, were both on antihystimies, so it gives a base layer, its a pain as were both feel like blind leading blind - coz we dont have the standard base range of allergies. thou we have discovered Miss H is allergic to kiwi fruits,

Miss hoodie went to town today with her friend, bless her heart she brought herself a dress, so pleased as she got it in the sale, - beautiful skater type dress, cream lace sleeveless top, attached a to peach skirt with print, it was £7 instread of £25.

I've started my first xmas present - knitting kids reindeer jumper....

I'm taking Miss Hoodie to her 1st NYE party, - where were staying they have a large clubroom, they hold private party, so we prebooked back in June....

The dog knows me too well............ as soon as dad went up to bed, the dog went in the kitchen came back stood in doorway wagging his tail, carrying his food bowl in his mouth.... he's use to my snacks.....

incase I dont get on line before, have a good New Year xxxxxx

Hi all

Mum2one, hope you all have a good party, sounds like Miss Hoodie got a lovely outfit with that dress.

I've just cooked a bag of parsnips that I've got to somehow cram into the freezer later and the 2nd bag I'll be using this week, starting today with roast potatoes, parsnips and other veg left over from Christmas and bargain beef from yesterday and Yorks pudding (also from yesterday's Mr T shop).

The parsnip bags were only 0.5 pence each there was a whole shelf of them.

I rarely get a free Sunday so yesterday I went a bit mad when I had the chance to stock up.

What are the rest of you doing today?

Angela - that sounds some fab bargains, I stocked up 12 bags of veg from Xmas eve Mr a - paid 10p bag there ready for stews and casserole.

Just to wish everyone a happy new yr, taking miss hoodie out nye - be her 1st party... Just about to load car and escape so see you all in new yr xxxxx

Hi all, Happy New Year

Glad you seem to have had a good time mum2one.

My NYE events (starting about 2 pm) went out of sync but eventually saw the NY in and got home about 1 am. No hangover this time so it was a blessing plus I got another go at the bargain shelf at Mr T's earlier on so I was more happy about that than anywhere I actually went to socialise lol

mum2one

Back home sage and sound - a load of washing - from the new yr break, the caravan was lovely double glazed, central heating and 2 toilets....

Had a chill out, had day up the coast, new yrs day lunch was mcdonalds... Miss Hoodie didnt want to leave the llamas...

Tho we've still got colds, coughs from xmas. x
