    Thanks all. Its been busy....non stop. Christmas is quite an elaborate exercise isn't it :undecided:...seems to be quite a lot to do still but some stuff is up on EBay now (fingers crossed they sell) and the overseas parcels have been packed and postage sorted. Just remembered 2 families that I haven't bought presents for. But other than that and a big food shop for a couple of meals, that's it.

    Its rainy here now. Mild and rainy. Ugh. Think I prefer the cold to be honest.

    Have a good week all
