Mrs Moneypenny Your stocking is beautiful - you are so talented!

Plodding Along Glad everyone is ok. Hope the repairs are not too expensive.

Mrsinvisible So sorry to hear of your friend and her misfortune. At least you are able to offer her some help with her transport issues.

Betasam hope you've enjoyed your Sunday How lovely to be able to keep Christmas going for a little bit longer. And that you will get to see your friend even if the circumstance she came over weren't nice for you all. 37 children wow that is dedication. I hope your ears have recovered xxx
Chrissy you always amaze me with your ability to get things sorted. Go girl. Hope DD has had a good week xxx
Ruth oh my word! upstairs neighbours must be awful! specially as they don't sound very considerate. Hope you ended up getting some peace today. I've just downloaded "Fireside Dreams" saved me thinking tonight, so thank you for that. I will start it in a minute and let you know how I get on Did the right corset arrive? xxx
Lazy sheep you are so right! weekend whizz by don't they. Good luck with your new studies and enjoy your last few days of freedom X
Mrsinvisible your skyping sounded fun, still haven't had any successful FaceTime with both our DGDs. The older one in Oz is not keen on sharing Well re your DS all I can say is that the acorn didn't fall very far from the tree did it Although I'd like to think that the Chinese have had him long enough now and the UK neeeeds him back xxx
b_e_g sending hugs How are DNs family coping, I'm saying a little prayer for you all. And of course his missus and your family xxx
Linky DS is spot on again isn't he How long did your peace last? Did you get your Apple TV sorted? I'm very tempted at the moment so would be very interested in your opinion xxx
3fortheholiday and Linky loving the quotes lovelies xxx
Feisty that must feel like such a relief now the decision has been made. More pressure off. You are doing so well You will get your dream I'm sure. Did you get to do your nails? Keep forgetting to ask, how is DH doing? Has he managed to go back to work? xxx
BBTHREE haha I didn't even notice what the number plate was attached to and DH was wittering on about me being crazy and getting arrested photographing cars in morrisons car park haha. Well it sounds like Spring has definitely spurng in your house sooooo when you've done yours feel free to pop round Re CBB I can not believe that Lee is still in either or that nobody can see through Luisa !!! Makes great tv tho xxx
Murie DH tantrums I thought that was just my house! The cake is fab well done you. It looks amazing, now wonder your darling Mum looks so happy And no way does she look 70 xxx
Ploddingalong aaaargh I'm angry for you. Definitely find out who your friends are Toothache and extra child and a crash tomorrow has for to be so so much better xxx
Freespirit well sis from another mister! keep missing you this week. Did you bake today? I was very tempted but behaved myself and did a little cleaning, but don't worry, I'm not poorly and it will not be repeated for some time hehe. Just took advantage whilst DH and lovely neighbour had a little mooch around the local fishing shops Roll on the fishing when I can get a little bit of peace xxx

He's still off work Nana. I had a family member try to help by advising us to seek benefits, but she was being a bit pushy and insisting poor DH is no-longer fit to work. It's really knocked his confidence - he hates to think of himself as not being able to live normally. I know we will one day get to that stage (of him not being able to work) but we are definitely not there yet. He should be heading back on the 18th February

I've not had chance to read back just whipping in to say I've just heard from JJ aka Festive Princess is back in hospital but hoping to be out very soon. She says hi xxx

Oh no, poor JJ I do hope she is out soon and feeling better. Fingers crossed the lovely Matt goes in to perk her up x

Plodding along, glad you were all ok,
Mrs moneypenny, wow your very talented, could you make us all one please :-)
JJ, I hope your better and home soon, I'm sure your putting a smile on the nurses faces.
For a change we seem to have a bit of luck coming our way this year, dh's nanny has given us £200 for no reason other than she wants to treat all her grandchildren, so that's the start of our house deposit (have worked out it will prob be about £1100)
And I got a phone call from my local shopping mall tonight to say I'd won a MacBook Pro. I've never won anything in my life never mind something worth £1200! :-)

Poor JJ-hope she comes out soon and isn't too poorly this time. as Feisty says- hopefully Matt will go in to perk her up a little! She deserves good tings in her life.


Mrs moneypenny- worth every second you have spent o the stocking- so beautiful! I would treasure the stocking more than the gifts inside if it was mine (unless it was a stonking great diamond of course!! Although I would still keep the stocking out all year round- I'm a great believer in beautiful things are there to be part of your life not just put away and admired every now and then. You are one talented lady!


Feisty- don't be pushed into anything by anyone- family or not x


OMO- oh for the day when I can wear skinny jeans again!! I do remember the days when todays quote was oh so true tho!


Freespirit- I took the photo of me and mom off- I didn't feel comfortable with it in the public domain (of course its ok for me to put moms on there-lol!) Its the same dog btw- just that in one she is modelling my DD's hair extensions!! She had a make over from a German Shepherd into an Afghan Hound that day!

Mrs Invisible- hope your friends luck changes soon for the better.


Debndot- woohoo! You lucky thing! Congrats on the MacBook xx
