    I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. :)

    Well done. :)

    My A was heaving with people this afternoon, the trolley bays were almost empty and when I went for a basket there were only 6 there. Think everyone was getting ahead with their seasonal shopping, November payday and all that.

  • Afternoon everyone.

    It seems it's been a bad week for everyone. Our puppy had to go home to the breeder due to kidney problems. We're all devastated

    2 days later a close family member was diagnosed with lung cancer.



    So to cheer the kids up I put the Christmas tree up today :D

    I saw your comment earlier about Aldi and remembered aau quoting Mrs aau last year. “No” I thought. Never.

    But I’m mightily impressed with their prices. Just hoping the quality is as good as the photos in the brochure.
    I’m definitely getting the £9.99 chateaubriand to try for Christmas Eve and one of their hams for boxing day:)
