We're usually about that number!
That's just us, DH brothers and sister and their spouses and children and his mum. Plus two friends. We have to have our lunch in a church hall :eek:
And that's without one of his brothers and his wife who prefer exotic climes.
That is an incredible number to cook for :eek: but do you know what? It must be fantastic having family and friends sitting down together enjoying Christmas, I think it's fantastic
xxThere's no place like home
Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

afternoon gang, I had fantastic new yesterday.
My OH went for yet more blood results and it transpires that the result in May was not his and he was wrongly diagnosed with a terrible illness (and very nearly started treatment).
He had to have three special tests to confirm this but we have the all clear other than a bit of liver trouble and we don't even see the consultant until next week....wonder if he will apologise ???:j:j:j
The second bit of luck hopefully, is that mr T have promised a refund of about £200 more than I paid for dodgy sofa plus it's still in residence, lol :beer::beer::beer: waiting for no 3 xxxx
Oh that's brilliant news Wendy. Christmas has come early for you:T
Waities party food is not going through at 4 for 3 today. They weren't that kind to us. Just half price for today only.
Hope you got your pigs in blankets Lizzie. Mine had run out by 9.30am:eek:0 -

That's great news Wendy, but what a shocker for the person getting the bad news now. It's dreadful to think that mistakes like this happen xxI forgot to mention that I won on blippar and the reindeer yesterday.
The code came thru last night so feeling very chuffed, as I usually win a big fat 0 in comps
:j:j:j
Well done marrbett, what did you win on the reindeer thing? I gave up doing that because I wasn't just jumping over snowmen and trees, I'd jump over presents and land splat in the tree :eek: I got rather fed up with that
I'm liking Blippar, I'm doing well, just had my second win not long ago. Oh and I've won a mug and a £5 Love2Shop voucher from a site called Inked Cup. I'm usually very unluck and never win anything

I don't think they can trace them as it was a mix up in a lab in another hospital.....nobody knows how yet !!!!
anyone direct me to the mcD pic plz ?0 -
nectar offers have updated
The only half decent one i got was 250 pts when I buy petrol at BP
I see from HUKD that some people have 500 pts just for confirming their address
I cant even log in just now, it keeps taking me back to the page where you put your number in
Mind you if a zillion people from the dark side are now checking their nectar accounts it might have over loaded
I wonder what goodies are on sainsbobs mycoupons ...“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove. Every day will allow you, --will invite you to add something to the pleasure of others, --or to diminish something of their pains.”0 -
