    Right I have to go and collect two very excited littlies, one more sleep and they are off to the frozen north to see Father Christmas.

    Neither of them have been on a plane before, I was telling DGD it was kind of like a bus only much much bigger and much more comfortable and lots more fun and she asked if you have to ring the bell if you want to get off...

    More explanations needed...


    gosh...I really hope they enjoy it.

    I'm not one to look back and regret much ...but it is the one thing that I am just a little bit sad that we never got round to doing as a family....

    A big thing has happened and I'm taking a few days off. DS3 and 4 have had a big loss, well we as a family have if I'm honest :(. Fell heavy hearted and there's nothing I can do apart from be there as we share hugs.

    So sorry, especially for the boys xxxxx

    Unfortunately Bear has been upstaged by Elf today. The fat furry one was too heavy for the cellotape!

    . I do think a chaise lounge is a good description of you though. Stylish yet comfortable and laid back :)

    The way Shopprize keep knocking back my receipts, I won't be risking £15, but good luck to the brave. All my receipts lately seem to be very lightly printed. :(

    I'm not keen on Edam anyway, I think it is the texture.

    I emailed SPRZ about failed receipts - had a lot lately. They advised the messages are being sent in error - due to new automated system - but points are still being awarded.

    Good evening Elite.

    Hope you're enjoying the day. Hugs to those in need.
