    Presents still here to go out are for BF & her DH - food and drink, uncle - wine, my nan - puzzle (which she passes on to my aunt who then passes it to my mum), sis & OH (food, drink and 2 Xmas jumper mugs because they're silly and she loves stuff like that), niece (books and a toy), my mum (slippers and willies which she asked for and some face cream - again, asked for and HM preserved pears and pics of the children) and an Oxfam unwrapped gift for another auntx

    :) Glad that tickled the funny bone, it certainly made this big kid chuckle.

    I had to turn off the predictive text on my mobile within hours. It was ther first phone I'd ever had with this option and the completely random things it was predicting were hilariously out-of-context. And it's not that I send particularly weird texts or anything.

    If I get a bonkers text from a pal, it's the predictive gremlin, and is shortly followed by an explano-text saying I meant
    lol.

  • Evening all,

    Wow that's scary Mavvy, glad you are both safe

    Pressie made me laugh, surprised it escaped the censor.

    decluttered a few more gifts to friends, a neighbour fosters and has a lovely 15 yo Syrian at the mo, he arrived alone could speak no English but survived the journey somehow. He's a lovely lad and always has a smile to give away that brightens anyone's day who sees him so I thought I'd help put a few bits under the tree for him.
    Dropped some bits round a friends, a bag of coat hangers kondoed to tesc0s recycling bin, al, the bags of rubbish and recycling I'd been storing have been allowed to now ds1s missing birthday money has been relocated safely. £70 disappeared on Monday night, but was found tucked in a games case that hasn't been used in a while. No one knows how it got there.

    Hope everyone has a great Christmas

    Just like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas
    This has to be the most stressless organized relaxed Christmas I have had in years. All down to that funny little book I read early in the year. Paring down my home has had a life changing effect.
    To those who are still on the journey keep going keep at it. It's so worth it truelly life changing magic
    Wishing Love an peace to us all.
    Special thoughts to those in Cumbria this weekend stay safe.
