    I have all the things plugged into the same plug (via adaptor) so once the plug is switched off the whole lot is. That's why I need to remember to keep it on lol.
    Christmas in WOnderland is a great film. I bought it on DVD last year :)

    It is, I have it set to record at some stage this month. I haven't seen it before so hope it's as good as it sounded!

    Aha. Got it. :)
    Currently watching Secret Santa. Sony movies has ad breaks every 10-15 minutes! It's really annoying having to keep ff through the ads constantly.
    Am freezing today. It was dry and sunny here, but ever since I got home I've not managed to get warm. Sat with a long sleeve thermal top on, a jumper and a chunky scarf. Maybe I should make myself a hot chocolate.

    this year do something that scares you for courage is not the absence of fear just the knowledge that some things are worth the risk

    freespirit66 - I am feeling much better thankyou, I think I had a 48 hour flu thing, but all better, just a bit sniffly now, which is much easier to cope with haha!

    Ruth_honey - Just to make you a bit more jealous....this is an old picture, it is a total mess right now, and books are now colour coordinated, it's like a rainbow :D

    Freespirit, I know what you mean - the % at the bottom of the page on the Kindle is a bit like a challenge to me lol. I can lose hours and hours reading so tend to only do it now when I don't have any tasks to complete :D Sorry to hear your headache is back again - hope it soon goes away.

    Ha ha, Pixtotts, love that you get the books in both formats :rotfl:

    Welcome to the thread MrsGuyMartin.:)

    Not much Christmassy done today but I'm in the process of clearing cupboards and getting everything organised and I did sort out the pressies (again). I really want to start wrapping now but I've promised DD that I'll wait so we can do most of it together. Also, even though I've got a pretty comprehensive spreadsheet, I'm just a bit worried that I'll wrap everything and then forget what's inside and have to open it up again. :D
    It's the most wonderful timeof the year :

    pixtotts that bookcase is amazing!!! I so want a slightly smaller version for my shoes :rotfl::o

    I have picked up the massive roll of cellophane from my mum (it's so big it was given to my mum by my Grandma, her MIL, over 10years ago and it is used quite a bit but there is still so much left on it, but I haven't started putting some hampers together yet. My Christmas fix has come from watching a few Xmas videos on youtube from Robeson Designs. I would recommend checking her videos out both for Christmas decorating and if you are doing anything around the home, she has some nice ideas you can take parts from - usually they are large expensive homes :)
