Evening allMy eldest dgd and her partner called in on boxing on the way to have Christmas dinner with dd and sil. They didnt bring the dog as my dd has cats and dont like being shut in one room. They brought gifts which was very kind of them.My dd said our dgds thought I am going senile as their Christmas money was a lot more than usual as a small share of my inheritance. They were quite worried apparently in case we would be short of money. I have warned them it was a one off as I dont want them to be reliant on my money and they are both working and have had a substantial inheritance from Mr LHs father which was in trust for them until they were 21.Yestrday I was brushing my hair which was a bit knotty due to the wind and the brush snapped in half and fell apart. Not happy as I didnt have another one so had to go out and get a new one which cost more than I was expecting.This morning I was lying in bed and considering getting up at 7am when I thought I heard the dustman. Yep I did and I had forgotten to put it all out. Clothes sufficient to be decent thrown on, found a pair of slipper as my usual footwear at this time of year is hiking type boots and I didnt have time to lace them and dashed (well a slightly faster than usual) downstairs and grabbed the wheelie bin just in time.This afternoon dgds and I went to our local pantomime which was fun. I prefer the evening show but the oldest dgd lives a fair way away and it ends up being very late when she gets home.Must get on with some tidying and cleaning tomorrow as I have done very little since Christmas and it is showing.A friend called for coffee yesterday which was nice so a good natter was had.Well thats the last few days. Have a good evening.5
