    Wow the manchild is off to NZ?? How long is he going for??

    :rotfl: at the giant man in your bed! Hope he has recovered from all his rock star touring!

    Date night sounds good. Weekend plans here involve DD's dance school christmas fair where they are dancing (31 of them, all wearing dresses handmade by me!!) I had also booked a table to sell some of my makes so it would have been :money: but I've been so busy with the dresses that I'm not sure I have enough stock!!

    We are all going out for tea tonight before my sister goes away tomorrow. Apparently it's not a "farewell" dinner, it's just a "let's all go out for tea as a family, the fact it's the the day before she flies is a complete coincidence" dinner!!! Got to love my mum!

    I've waffled enough anyway. Off to put kettle on. Not had a cuppa yet this morning! :eek:

  • Sounds busy starnac!

    Love your mum's thinking.

    Manchild and DD are off out there for xmas, both a month I think.

    He's very excited as he's not been yet and he's flying with BA so he's well chuffed (normally they fly bucket basement to France) so he's well excited.

    After 23 hours though, I'm sure it will wear off, but i'm glad he's excited.

    One cuppa in here, the rain is battering off the ground. Its SO cold.

    Fires on soon I think.

    Fires on definitely I say - I've had a hot water bottle for months!

    Been epic budgeting in dressing gown with tea :D Feel like I've adventured to the north pole or something :rotfl:

    I'm away for the weekend - already paid for including accommodation and food so should be nice and :money:

    :T Bravo Pippi - having had a bash at Californian Rolls, I know that they are not easy to do - not if you want them to look like the pics in the magazines and online :D Mine were OK if the 'bald sushi' look appeals to you :D

    Hope the party is jumpin' :D
