bitterly cold here. the frost still hasnt melted so I doubt it will. been to Asda and it was eerily quiet. lots of checkout girls though so I was out in a flash. bought one of their special meat roasts for tea. going out later so will pop it in slow cooker and it will ready for us when we get home.

trying to get some washing done. only doing stuff that will dry quick in the dryer and giving them an extra spin before I put them in. will then decide which is must do out of the left overs as our radiator space is limited.
must write some cards before we go to hand deliver when we get there.

Morning everyone :xmassmile

Thanks for all my birthday wishes and great to see some old familiars back(sorry TM and Rzl, jackieo I meant young familiars:o that have not been on for a while:rotfl:wish Queenie would come on and say hi )

Well I had a lovely lie in this morning and then a lazy shower - headed to my puter to see if anybody had remembered (:D ) and there we have one dead puter:eek: dont know whats wrong with it at all so it may be rushed to the emergency room of my local pc shop tomorrow with blue lights flashing - thank goodness for a work lappy.

Anyway today i am off to pub with my folks and a few friends so am planning on a [STRIKE]massive binge drink [/STRIKE]few small glasses of something non alchohlic and a huge roast dinner:T lifes good eh:T

I will take my pressys with me to open there - its not a lot of fun opening pressys on your own really:o Christmas is cancelled for today but will need to be back on with a passion tomorrow if Iam to get all this shopping done.

morning all

HAPPY BRTHDAY NELSKI and anyone else whose celebrating today.

I would do one of the smilies but my computers having a breakdown again LOL.

went shopping for a coat for ds 15 yesterday and he is a NIGHTMARE, moanin
moanin, he ended up with ANOTHER hoodie for 70 quid !!!!!

we are off the the piccies today to see the golden compass and then when i get back theres loads to do, i NEED to sort my house out desperately. its very claean and neat but EVERYTHING is in cuboards out the way so i need to sort them out which will make the house a tip again. i totally agree with the other poster about christmas trees and decorations gettin all over the place, it never seems to end. we have loads of lights and stuff out the front of the house as well which we put up yesterday and it was a nightmare to do as they wernt straight and then the bulbs were out and had to be taken down again. i tell oh EVERY year to check but he always says they are ok.

anyway i hope everyone has a good day and gets everything done that they are supposed top.

Afternoon all,

Little earlier to-day as pc has not yet been taken over by DD4....cold and overcast but no frost...Christmas cards next thing on list and then hoping to pressure wash the kitchen and clear out small fridge...never going to buy an undercounter fridge again as I need to get down on my knees to get into the back of it...that's not a problem but getting back up is!

Nelski...happy birthday...wouldn't hear of you buying all the cakes, hope these help:bdaycake::bdaycake::bdaycake:

Penpin...hope that you and OH feel a bit better to-day

Not sure what's for dinner to-day, steak or bacon..will think about it later on

Have a nice day

Marie

Helloo!

Happy Birthday Nelski:j :j have a great day!

Have been busy this morning cleaning the windows, me doing the inside and DH doing the outside. Nets have been washed. Cant believe the dirt on them and its not been that long since they've been done! Must be London Smog!:rotfl:

I've now got to pop to Asda for bread and milk, not looking forward to that as its sunday and usually heaving!:o

Later this afternoon I'm off to the Church Carol Concert, I really love that, they light the huge xmas tree and the children stand around the crib and sing "Away in a Manger" and I usually get a little tear in my eye:o and then its mince pies and mulled wine afterwards!:D More Tea Vicar!:rotfl:

DH's aunt got us a tin of Quality Street yesterday - put together with the Celebrations I bought....its not looking good for the thighs!!!:rotfl:

haribo - I think "YOU" are Saturday Kitchen with all that baking you've done!
No I havent done the mincies yet:o I will get my OS badge taken away!
catznine - Glad you enjoyed Cinders, Stephen Fry wrote that one, I was expecting it to be good, might try and get to see that if I can!
mrsmix - you should have chucked a bucket of water over them!:rotfl:
catowen - laughed at Baloo frightening you:rotfl: could just imagine it!

Right off to tackle Asda!!:o wish me luck!

Penny-Pincher!!

Afternoon Guys!!
Happy Birthday Nels:beer: ...have a good one!!

Thanks for all the lovely messages. OH is still very sore and bruised but has managed to have a shower and take his plaster off...ouch! Ive never heard him swear so much:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

DD has been helping loads around the house and is going round her friends this afternoon. OH & I are just going to watch some TV. I have recorded Cranford, so may watch that if he wants to.

DW & WM are on ATM and will be sorted when finished. I have my helper coming in the morning so will leave the rest of stuff needing doing for her as I just dont have the energy.

Have just eaten liver and mash for lunch and was scrummy. OH & DD just had oven chips and beans with bread and butter as the oven was on anyway. Supposed to be going round nephews for dinner so must book the black cab in a minute. Its only £1.50 each way as I have a special card and OH shouldnt really be driving yet.

Anyway, hope everyone is ok.

Hugs to all.

Afternoon everyone and a very happy birthday to Nelski
PP - definitely leave the rest - you are entitled to help so may as well leave her something to do

Dull day here - dd is not well again with her tonsils. it seems that all her ear trouble has ended up in her tonsils. I will have to get her a drs appointment tomorrow as she hasn't full recovered from the last bout - poor thing. She is snuggling in the poorly quilt on the sofa munching tortilla chips which she says make her throat feel better. I don't know what I'm going to do if she needs to take time off - there's no way I'm asking Mr Sharing Caring again. Anyhoo as I'm housebound I will just spend the day knitting and flyladying and listening to the two big matches on the radio. Dd is a liverpool fan but can't be bothered to listen to it herself so I have to give her a sort of commentary
have a great rest of the day everyone
