My mum LOVES costa cappuccino and says the tassimo ones are just as good...

I don't drink coffee, all I can add is the cadbury hot chocolates are poop in comparison to the milka ones!! lol. (Milka are cheaper too )

GETTINGTHEREQUICKLY have a great time at the festival

Film was really enjoyable and q&a afterwards was very interesting, think we were all surprised to learn that it was actually the writer/director's own story.

Decided to get bus there, don't usually use bus but thought it would be handier for that time on a Saturday evening - I know now why I usually drive! Had to wait about 30 mins for a bus which was actually going further than the bus garage, took ages to get to the nearest stop to the garage then we got chucked off, waited for another one, ages in single lane traffic but eventually got to cinema, sat down, relaxed but had to keep getting up to let people into their seats.

Really lucky on way home as got a bus virtually immediately, but then we ground to a halt, felt middle of nowhere to me as I don't know the area as the police had closed off the road so they could deal with an incident. Bus driver pointed us in the direction of other bus routes as diversions would now be in operation. Did my good deed for the day as I told car drivers they wouldn't be going anywhere, they appreciated being told as it gave them the option to turn around. When I got on the third bus home, I recognised a family that had been on the first bus, the kids were so well behaved considering all the hassle, oldest was only about 6, dad was stressing as he was going to be late for work, so I made mum & dad's day by telling them the kids were an absolute credit to them considering the hassle. Mum looked at me and said "for now, wait until they get home!" There were 4 kids and I think considering we are generally quick to complain, compliments should be given when deserved.

Afternoon :hello:
I can't believe it is Sunday afternoon already. The sun is shining here and it's cool but I have got 3 loads of washing on the line! I acquired my GUAG again and managed to finish cleaning the house between Friday and this morning :rotfl:
Looks like there is plenty of Christmassy related thing's happening, which is lovely My Gift evening went well and I had done a raffle to raise money for beating bowel cancer charity and I managed to get over £100 - people are still sending in extra donations which is so wonderful and I really didn't expect it. We have a few naughty nibbles left which are sat on the side and keep hopping in to my mouth :o
I have requested to join the elf group on FB
I have read through yesterday and today so I have forgotten some bits

Enjoy the rest of your Sundays, we are going to do some weeding down on the allotment whilst the sun is shining

Well just back from my trip into town. Got everything else but the 2 things I went in for :mad: Primark REALLY need to sort out their orders and order in extra stuff that they are selling out of almost immediatley:mad:

That and I really should remember to put the Marks and Spencer printouts for 3 vouchers into my bag before I go into town:o

Anyhow that's my wee rant over. Got to cases for kids tablets in Currys for £1.97:T Also picked up 2 sets of the Marvel Soap, Shampoo and Shower Gel dispensers in Semi Chem for £5:T

It was me looking for the board game -she has all he books as I got them for her last year. Thank you for looking though I really do appreciate it.

Christmas is almost sorted here just stockings to finish, its the first time I've done them and I'm finding it more difficult than I thought it would be!

mrs-moneypenny

ill keep looking for the board game for you Chrissy, havent spotted it yet but theres always hope.
no prob about the books, they can go in the Cs box, at that price i didnt want to leave them incase they were any use to whoever it was looking for charmed stuff.

edit.

Good evening all. Been a pj day for us, as dd2 has now got this nasty cold too - and we are all absolutely cream-crackered after 2 birthdays in 8 days!

Managed to get a bit of lap top time, so booked panto tickets for us all (sleeping beauty) and managed to get front row seats!

Also ordered a couple of board games from amazon (they have got some great deals on games at the mo) Doctor who turbo top trumps for £7 (was £24.99) and Game of life Fame edition for £5.98 (was £19.99).

My The book people order came, chuffed to bits with the christmas decorations activity book (dd's wil love it) and the nutella recipe book, Dh picked up a large jar today to go with it!

Does anyone have any experience of having dog sitters? We are having 2 nights away end of December for mums wedding, and need to find someone to look after our dogs (an american bulldog & a staffy) and they have never been in kennels before. The kennels local to us really dont have good reviews so Im even more reluctant. Dh mentioned getting a dog sitter to stay at ours, but I feel weird about a stranger staying in our house. Any advice would be greatly appreciated x

We take Charlie to a dog sitter when we go away she looks after the pets in her own home. He loves it he gets really excited when we pull up at her door.
Ask at the vets they may know someone.
