    Thank you we did - early starts made for a bit of a wipe out when home but all good, hope you're good too and first day at work wasn't too traumatic.

    I didn't send you the epic xmas eve double table of cheese display, felt that a tad too cruel. Thank you it was ace.

    I spent 10E on presents (found a reduced rack in the sports shop, one tshirt and one lovely thick hoodie for himself for 5E each.) I had to check in dodgy french that I was correct in reading the large sign.......saying everything a 5E

    One large jar of nutella 7E

    Some cheese to bring home 13E

    All in all I spent 20E

    :D we also did ok with pretending to be a bit posh when away, but not too posh, thankfully it wasn't that kind of place.

    And, whoops

    Merry Xmas to you all I hope it was fab.

    Working today for a bit, then out for a walk with a chum who's off then himselfs family arrive later for NY.

    All good.

    I've raided the local reduced on Sunday and we have lots of bargains clogging up the fridge. Gotta love an imposed shop holiday for reducing the meat and bread.
