Huh just when I thought the day was going reasonably well, I had a phone call from my bank to say the cc had been used for 'unusual transactions'. Yes, I agreed that I had definitely not been in the US buying stuff for a playstation at 3am..........What is odd is that just over a month ago, Mr N had the same thing. Now, it was a different cc (although same bank), we have different names although the same address - but on both occasions the last transactions we had done prior to the 'theft' was in Tesc0 - but different shops 6 miles apart. I told the bank this and she thought it unusual. So now my card has been cancelled and they will send me a new one. Pah. Neither of the cards were stolen physically, or ever out of our sight, nor does anyone else have our numbers. Neither are often used to buy stuff on-line.

Apart from that, I've finished and sent off another report, had a nice meal out and am now heading for bed!

FBO- well done on your hour run! You are definately a 'proper' runner!
Bossy- enjoy Lapland! It was something we were planning to do either this year or next year but with our little surprise arriving in 7 weeks, I'm not sure it will happen now. Ds will be 8 next Christmas.

Thank you to my flylady secret Santa. It arrived this morning!

After school tonight ds2 had his nativity and then ds1 had a carol concert so by the time we got back OH and I had a chippy tea! Then I gave the nursery coving a final coat- the carpet is coming tomorrow!! I also did a load of washing, and wrote some more Christmas cards. Nothing off the list though!

Tomorrow I am doing some errands in the afternoon and then ds2 has swimming. After that we are going to our local farm for a Christmas sing along and a mince pie! So won't be back until late. OH is out for the night after that so I am hoping to get some presents wrapped!

Evening all :hello:

My flylady Secret Santa arrived today :j Thank you very much

Did most of the cooking I planned today. Just need to finish the Bolognese and put it in the slow cooker in the morning

Gosh - that was exciting. I watched the lift-off this morning and then watched the live NASA feed for the docking. My heart was pounding a bit when they had to abort the first attempt and I was so pleased that it finished okay. Saw them come through into the space station later on the Brian Cox programme

When I got back I then ran to Mr A, cleaned the bathroom, changed my bed and walked the dog to meet DD from the bus. After all that I was stood in the kitchen preparing veg at 11pm until gone midnight. Now I have the veg ready to go in the stew tomorrow and the carrot/parsnip/swede mash for Christmas day has been cooked. I'm going to leave it to sit overnight, then I'll heat & mash in the morning. Leave it to cool while I'm out running errands then bung it in the freezer I'm still up as I'm waiting on the drier to finish again!
