    Morning all,
    :rudolf:Merry Christmas! :rudolf:
    Well, presents are opened and all went well - except DS's spygear video car (which is very cool and we're all having a go with it), but it takes 12, yes TWELVE AA batteries!!!! Needless to say, I didn't have that many in stock, so we've already had to pop out for them.
    *note to self* First thing tomorrow, check out rechargable battery prices!
    2 of three stuffings done, turkey about to go in, third stuffing (sausage and apple) can be thrown in later on its own; everything chilled for a while now.
    Kids going to Christmas swim with ex-OH at midday for an hour, then dinner here about 3, then a walk on the beach, and a marathon session eating junk and watching tv... then time to get ready for tomorrow - the Wren's Day!
    Life is good, I wish everyone a lovely day!

    Happy Christmas Day, Everyone. I've already got some lovely presents; most of which I'm wearing, eating, drinking or reading right now.

    Anyway, one of my presents was some gorgeous Lush bath stuff, which I love. Enclosed in the box is a 10% off voucher (valid anytime except Dec). I won't use the voucher as there's not a shop near me If anyone wants it, pls reply to this thread. If you are the first person to reply, pls pm me your address and I will pop it in the post this week.

    Happiness and peace to everyone this Christmas Day XXX

    Right guys...need your help.

    Do parsnips usually smell like shoe polish :confused:

    We've never done them before and I'm not sure if they're ok :D

    Morning all :) MERRY CHRISTMAAAAAAAAAAAAAS! We've had a great morning so far.. Ashli tore into her presents like a mad woman and has been taking pics of everything and anything with her kidtough digi cam. Ste bought me a gorgeous white gold and diamond necklace... :D
    Just going to upload some pics now... K was a bit 'meh' about the whole thing but she's only 11 months so wasn't really expecting her to be as hands no as Ash. :)

    Hi everyone - hope we are all having a good christmas. Presents are all opened - kids are currently attempting to play with everything at once. Daughter is rolling round the living room on her new roller blades - I can see that one ending in tears. Have put their new Pingu DVD on to try and restore some order! OH has gone to bed. He worked all night last night and is working all night tonight and tomorrow.

    Going to have a quick tidy round, get everyone dressed and then its off to mum and dads for more presents and christmas dinner

    See you all later x x x
