    Evening! We have had a lovely day so far - nothing got burned or dropped on the floor, so I am counting the meal as a resounding success.

    The kids have been little superstars, they love their presents, and Ryan even ate 2 sprouts (insert 'falling over with shock' smiley here).

    Everyone has gone home now and I am just having my first drink of the day!! Can't believe it's taken me until now!! And then in a few minutes we are all going to watch Doctor Who - I think it's going to be the highlight of the day! :rotfl:

    Hope everyone else is having fun. :beer:

    Glad to hear it HBFS!

    I've just been to the monsoon sale and being miss average I luckily didn't buy anything as they'd sold out of my size. Must stay away from sales on-line or not!

    I will use the baskets though and put a bit aside when doing shopping etc to fill them but the posh dresses I could do without anyway - hardly ever go out these days and I'm sure you guys don't care what I'm wearing! so 55p per box as opposed to £80 (reduced price) for a dress I might wear a couple of times I think your deal wins!
