    Merry Christmas everyone :D

    A quick lull before everyone gets here. My 18 month old nephew is joining us which is lovely seeing as he's just out of hospital :)

    This isn't getting me to go and have a shower is it?! :rotfl:

    Whatever you're all up today, have a lovely day!

    Red Bush tea?

    According to my Mum I love it...
    I think it is vile :p
    My tea of choice is Lidl's Assam :)

    So Parents decided to try Red Bush tea. Made some & thought it was vile :o
    But being war babies they couldn't compost the remaining tea bags, instead they mixed one in with ordinary tea bags in every pot of tea they drank until used up :wall: :silenced:

    :o:o:o

    That reminds me, my father once insisted that I could not tell the difference between teas and decided to challenge me. I had told him a while before that I could not stand Earl Grey, so when we were visiting one time he brought me out a cup of tea. I nearly threw up, apart from bringing me Earl Grey he had put milk in it :eek::eek:
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    Update: Mum rang again she doesn't feel well so could DS go for her and he can come back in taxi.

    Was expecting her to not feel well and wouldn't have been surprised if she hadn't come and we all ended up going round there like last year.
    Mum may appear in next half hour :)
