    Wishing you a Joyful Christmas :xmastree: and that 2019 brings only positives to your life ((hugs))X
    I Believe.....
    That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
    Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

    happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
    but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy

  • Merry Christmas all. Hope everyone has had an enjoyable day.

    SA, Florida again would be A-MAY-Zing. Can’t believe it’s almost a year since we found out I’d won the last one (29th December). It’s avout time I won the next one :rotfl:.

    We’ve had a lovely day. Boys are thrilled with their gifts and we had a lovely lunch with MIL, my Mum and (as good as) Step Dad. We’ve been chilling out tonight infront of the Greatest Showman, and I’ve had a few glasses of prosecco :D.

    I bought myself some FitFlop trainers in the sale online and gave them to DH and the boys to wrap for me. I got a ‘daughter’ and ‘sister’ charm for my bracelet (unsurprisingly from my Mum and Sister), along with lots of other thoughtful little gifts and cash. MiL has booked a night away for DH and I next week and is having the boys for us. It’ll be the first time away just us since before DS2 was born! I feel very blessed for such nice gifts.

    Sounds like you had a lovely Christmas and what a star your MIL is booking a night away for you both.

    DS is the most easy going, laid back, placid person you'd ever come across but he's 13 and has started to test his weight a little bit - I'm just going to repeat what everybody else has said - TEENAGERS!
  • Evening all.

    Quiet few days in the Lucky household. Today is my Mum’s birthday but they are going away overnight, so I just took her card and present round and then dropped them off in town. We are having a family meal at a pub tomorrow night for Mum and Auntie’s birthdays, just a small gathering - 27 of us :cool:. I adore having such a big family, and that’s just my Mum’s side!!
