Your fault that I have just been out to splurge in The Works and WHSmith. I could have spent the whole day browsing round shops. They were heaving already. I am definitely getting everything done by the end of November.

I order everything online, it is one time when I am pleased that I don't have to face the shops. I have niece's and MIL's presents to go, I have asked for money from MIL for my birthday which will pay for those gifts so I hope to everything ordered by the end of November, too.

Having said that I do slightly miss the Christmas rush, one of my happy memories is late night shopping one year with all the lights twinkling. I wouldn't want to do it more than once though.

I am now in possession of toffee crisp cheesecake.

I order most of the stuff I need online as I am often stuck in the house, unable to get out. Plus, it's really difficult to navigate a mobility scooter around the shops as they like to pack every aisle. It's just easier to shop online.

Toffee Crisp cheesecake sounds amazing!

That has to be a nightmare, pipkin when the shops are so busy, I don't blame you at all for shopping online. I always buy our food online and WaSp grabs fresh food if we need it, I don't go out of the flat and the last thing he feels like after being awake half the night with MIL is facing a big shop.

Today I noticed one of the houses well known for having a HUGE light display in a town near us is gearing up ready to go.

I wondered if you might want to brave a ride round under cover of darkness to see the illuminations? My husband loves this activity. I know the cats would too.


No pressure or expectation , just a suggestion of a possible, or something to think about if you have a December appoint ment...its not an appointment...its a light show with a stop off.

Ooh a dark night drive, as my niece calls them! This has been a tradition with us since she was tiny (she's 12 now, and still loves it)
