    Morning everyone how are we all today?

    My little girl actually allowed me a lay in today so I feel almost perky.

    I've got to start wrapping things up today too, I quite enjoy it with a wee glass of wine... so that's the plan for tonight (as well as making up some retro sweetie boxes) but will have to do DS's pressies today while he's at school because he's SOOOOO excited he can hear a pin drop these days.
    SANTA'S COMING SOON! need to go watch Elf!

    Morning all. Just did a frantic scurry round the shops to pick stuff up, now packaging a parcel to send to my ex
    Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.

    Now you know we aren't supposed to send chemical/germs through the postal system don't you.

    Deadly scorpien's are much more effective :D

    What did she do to deserve that?
