    Thank you :D

    We are all very happy and excited today :o Have to say the excitement is even spreading to me! Who hates this time of year :rotfl:

    We have more out-laws visiting today and tomorrow :cool: Hoping the visits are short! We have lots of plans!

    Nursing home loved their baked goodies and crafty things :A Smalls had a wonderful time. Food bank received some extra bits yesterday too. We have dropped some things into the toy donation box but we don't really have much :o So I felt a bit guilty about that but anything is better than nothing I guess!

    We decided on Beef for Xmas roast so that's out defrosting.

    Hope everyone is well and having fun! x

    Hope you all have a lovely Christmas W, you've been so busy, you deserve a rest!

    All the stuff you do to help other people like baking for the nursing home & donating to the food bank is really amazing.:T Glad that the good karma is being returned in the form of surprises in the post, you deserve it.:beer:

    Enjoy your outlaw visits, hopefully short & sweet. :p

    You really are such a kind person. To think of so many people when you don't have that much yourself. You truly are an inspiration.
    Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.

    Gotta share what we do have, nothing special really :o Just some baked goodies etc. Practically free to us other than time but makes it worth it seeing them making someone smile.

    We have had a movie night, smalls away to bed now. They are so excited it makes me so happy to see them right now :o

    Out-law visit 1 completed (We made fudge/truffles and biscuits in the end) Along with cards smalls made. Other set of them say they will visit tomorrow but I doubt it, we haven't seen them for over 2 years. If they don't I'm sure we will find someone to hand out the goodies too.

    I'm really tired :o I didn't get to bed at all last night! Just as I was ready to settle it was coming light!

    Need to order my new diary and calendar soon then I can get it sorted before going back to work and school..
