    I've not had my bath ... and I've not done anything except rotate washing on the maiden infront of the fire :o I'm loving the Christmas 2007 thread though and I'm looking at earning websites while I'm sitting here so it's not as if I've wasted the morning...much :rotfl: I need to get the washing dry as I need to do another load of washing :rolleyes: I daren't put it out on the line though as its sharp heavy showers here and although the sun keeps coming out it's only briefly :mad: Still listening to Jive Bunny though :xmastree: :rotfl::rotfl:

    Right, off to rotate some more and then have a look at "shop & Scan" :wave:

    Nicki Christmas! :eek: Don't scare me like that!


    Lil_me Thanks for keeping us going with the lists - especially when you have so much else to do. I hope Holly settles ok for her new mum - it must be hard for you but well done for being brave enough to do the right thing.

    Now, I'm all set to spend the afternoon at dd's first school sports day - I'm always so excited to see her doing new things. She brought home her first school report last week and I was so pleased I could hardly read it. :o Silly, mummy!

    Well, I'm not getting anywhere today. Just rushed out and grabbed the washing when it chucked down with rain but the sky is turning blue again so I might get it out again.

    I still haven't vacuumed. I thought I'd watch Corrie first from last night and then the phone rang three times and the Avon lady came and then I had to ring Churchill about our car.

    So I must get going. But I really don't feel like it. Missing my daughter (who's on holiday)
