Sunday blessings...

1. Visited DM, started to plan our Spring short break (£9.50 Sun holiday), and discussed where we want to go later in the year.

2. Charitable org gave DM a huge hamper for Christmas, unfortunately a lot of stuff she can't eat due to IBS so I came home with a bag full of goodies

3. Petrol where DM lives is 3p a litre cheaper than home :j so filled up there, and no hold-ups on the car park (M25) for a change so got home in good time

4. Still taking home remedies for cough/cold and just realised I haven't sneezed for 6 hours

5. Got a call from a friend I haven't seen for months, arranged to meet up for a good old natter

Here are mine for the day:

1) Putting away a couple of tubes of Pringles and some other snacks with good use-by dates for our wedding.

2) Getting back into writing "to-do" lists so I can cross off what I have to do.

3) Sorting out my book shelf and finding I have a massive amount to take to a charity shop. (They would probably cost more to post than I'd get for them by selling them)

4) Realising our central heating is only set to 15 DegC today and telling H2B I'll be perfectly happy under a blanket (him too!)

5) Darling H2B asking if we can keep the kitchen grotto lights up for a bit longer when the tree comes down.
