  • Yes i am organised this year. It has all been done online I usually visit the shops but to avoid Covid it is all online. I think all my presents are bought now. 

    It is sooo chilly today.

  • You're nearly sorted out for Christmas, double check your list of names and see if there's anyone who hasn't got a gift yet.

    It's 6° up here, but feels colder than when it was 0°.

    Enjoy your chilli!

  • If you have £200 left in your Christmas fund and you have already bought all the presents maybe you could pay for the coat from what’s left and call it a Christmas present to yourself 😁

  • I think that is what I will do Skinty, I just hope it is not expensive. I have taken the morning off and will write lessons this afternoon. I am hoping i will be finished by 5. I refuse to do any more as exhausted.

    Yes, £25 pounds, i just hope it is warm. I am always ordering red coats and they are never as warm as they look!!! No more treats.

  • Maybe you should go for warmth over style and looks? I look like k3nny in s0uth p-rk in my winter coat, but it keeps me warm as I got it from an outdoor shop a few years ago.
