    Morning luvlies

    And a very happy Boxing Day to one and all. Will have a good catch up tonight but just wanted to say if anyone is going to A it appears they have discounted their gift sets and the 3 for 2 is still coming off. Post just came up on my feed from the dark side

    Hello hampy:j

    Yes it is still coming off...I saw it on a womble today. Also picked up a womble with 3 x £6 John Frieda on....I got really excited but they didn’t compare with anyone. APG still showing 3 x £6:)

    Well the elves surpassed themselves this year.

    Every year the elf on the shelf appears at DD's. There are 2 elves, in fact, and they are meant to keep an eye on the kids so they can report to Santa whether they've been naughty or nice. But DD's elves do not do that, they have never ever told tales on the children.

    Instead, DD's elves are the naughtiest elves anyone could ever imagine. Each and every day throughout December they get up to a trick and then they sit waiting for their naughty antics to be discovered.

    This has included putting faces on the fruit on the fruit bowl, spilling cereal over the breakfast table during the night, trailing loo roll from the holder all around the landing and down the stairs, making the tree fall down, etc etc.

    But this year, they saved the very naughtiest thing till last.

    On Christmas Eve night, in the very early hours after Santa had been, the elves covered the entire doorway into the living room with Christmas wrapping paper. It looked very pretty but it also meant the doorway had to be unwrapped so that people could get in to get at their presents.

    Naughty, naughty elves.



    It occurred to me that it's a good thing mhoc wasn't there, else everyone would have had to get scissors and cut that giant-sized wrap into tidy squares to be saved for next year. :D

    I’m shattered too snap. I had to rescue neighbours from Mr TM last night......and a bottle of wine later......and another cheeseboard:eek:

    I swear I couldn’t be a hairdresser or someone who is on their feet all day....it’s exhausting:o

    Another day of this and I’ll be begging for normality to return:o:)

    So pleased to see we have a glitch...thanks to all who have posted shops. I’ll be trying the beans and sausages....good winter stand bys:):T:T

    Yes he was :T


    The name Hadarezer belongs to Aramean king of Zobah who was defeated by David (2 Samuel 10:16, 1 Chronicles 18:3).

    DD received a present the size of a coffin....sorry but it was, I joke not:o Wrapped beautifully in metallic paper and ribbons. It contained a series of smaller boxes also beautifully wrapped until we got down to the matchbox sized gift box which contained a beautiful bracelet.

    Mhoc would have had to be anaesthetised:o

    We will struggle to fit it all into the car to go to the tip:o
