    Fred is safe, naked, currently missing a few plastic limbs and in a box. Stored safely for next year. This sounds a bit Kathy Bates from Misery doesn't it?

    Ok I couldn't help myself I have just ordered two sets of pre lit Christmas parcels from fleabay. Gold and red. Bargain price. Will look fab next year. I do love Christmas. £41 well spent. I will not buy anything else other than food. I will not. I will not......

    I can't stick the picture in. Aesop used to tell me why but I don't know what to remove. Can anyone help? I used to be good at this but it's been ages.

    Bless you both ladies and thank you for the picture Mrs Upsidedown Bear. I am still trying to figure out why I couldn't get it to post.

    Anyhoooo, I spent £1.80 on two chocs today as hypo at work. It is so expensive.

    Going to have an early night as v tired. Then will wake up early to mark.

    As usual I am kicking myself for getting two of these pre lit decorations. One would have been sufficient. Still they will look great next year. I might be broke then but at least my house will look good. lol.
