Bossymoo - sounds like an amazing experience!

Presents now all wrapped. Iceland delivery arrived and now all packed away. List is getting smaller, although not small enough!

Having a nice cuppa and sit down now for a while before I start the tea, then I will clean the bathroom!

Bossy sounds awesome - what an experience!

LW what a good little boy your boarder is, how much longer have you got him for?

Done everything except clean the bath but that's because Z hasn't long been out of it. At least she's all nice and clean now for our trip to MILs - she'd been in her PJs far too long!! J not home yet; he was meant to be leaving at lunch time but looks like he's been delayed. S getting increasingly hyper and giving me a real headache. Done almost all the packing now with just a few bits to do in the morning before we go. Also need to pack for the dogs. Dreading leaving them in kennels; wish we could stay home but J is insistent we have to go At least it's only a few days and I won't have to cook or worry about food.

Hi everyone. Ive popped in to say a massive thank you for the xmas cards they have really lifted my spirits. I have only sent family ones this year. Instead I have made a donation to a cancer charity. Several people I know are having treatment at the moment for this awful disease. Thank you to Natty for including me in the xmas card list

I miss Ozzy very much still and have not got another cat.

I am ready for xmas. My DD and I are going to my youngest grandsons. It will be lovely as DGGS1 is 6 months old now.

May I take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and health, wealth and happiness for 2016.

Finally got to the letterbox on the driveway wall and discovered a lovely parcel stuffed with cards! Thank you all so much. I do hope mine reached Natty in time for the send out. Time has no meaning here at present...

Wow Bossy - jealous of your fabulous adventure. I can't wait to take my boys when Tiny is a bit older. Sounds like you all had an amazing time

Have managed a HHI this afternoon and will now attempt to conjure up an edible spaghetti bolognese on the feeble propane gas cooker in the caravan. Wish me luck!

Love to all xxx

Right. Condensed version of what I just typed:

Busy busy

Thanks for all the lovely cards everyone, esp. natty for organising (hope you are feeling better).

Thanks Mrs moneypenny as I was reading your post this morning and you mentioned dentist cue me running round like headless chicken as I had dentist appointment in half an hour and I had forgotten.

Dog walked with kids, holly collected.

Food and booze shop done, now poor.

Tea about to be made.

Need to go out again as forgot one present as usual and refuse to leave it until tomorrow. Also forgot lemonade for snowball making.

Pigpen I think now LW has said she'll ask the coyote to leave your house you'll have no more problems at all. She posted finding vibes for me and on the way home from dentist ds2 rang me, the money was in the case of a game he hasn't played in a while that he thought he'd have an hour on after work. How bizarre is that. He had put the games in a rack one of his friends bought him but built that and put the games in before he started opening cards so the money should not have come into contact with it at all. Dusty the only possible theory is what you mentioned re a friend playing a joke and hiding it.
Glad it was found before it got embarrassing. Thank you LW. X

Glad you got to your appt in time biscuit monster just back from Ds2s "no fillings today mum" showing my age with that one.
