  • haha WinterWarrior !  I was surprised about the jeans fitting but they are a size 14 so i'm envious that your usual size is a 12 !!  I don't think i've worn anything in a 12 for a couple of decades :( 
    I had a work phone call at 4.45pm so ended up working till 5.30pm; nevermind i'm just putting away my laptop and notebook so it is out of sight till 4 Jan :)
    I'm having a festive Bai - leys soon - cheers all  :D

    Ooh cheers deni…baileys is something I haven’t got in 😢. A big bottle is too much,, but I had a couple of miniatures last year which were lovely. 
    Jeans sizing is so random your 14s could be smaller than my 12s.  
    I hope you enjoy your time off.
    I changed the bedding, did some jigsaw, watched a few films and basically lost a day 😬
    We are looking forward to the Ghosts Christmas special tonight.

    Good morning and happy Friday Christmas Eve 🎅🏻🎄🤶
    I hope you are all ready to go and that no one is working.
    I will do a little prep for the massive cooking day tomorrow, but I don’t panic when it’s just the two of us. If I forget something or it’s late then we just suck it up. Although MrWW loves his food and gets quite set in his Christmas dinner ways. If I add something to the menu then it’s tradition for ever more 😬 so I end up with quite a list. I will pre wrap the pigs in blankets (full size with streaky bacon) and mix the Yorkshire pudding batter. We have a huge luxury chocolate log that arrived with a date of the 26th so I may need to start it early to be safe 😋😋😋
    Yesterday I was cruising the ‘show me your Christmas fridge’ thread on mumsnet. I love a good nosey.
    I hope you all have a wonderful happy Christmas Eve….remember, Santa is watching 🎅🏻🤶🎄🎁🍹
