Thank you all for your kind and healthful wishes!
I woke up coughing and spluttering at 3.30am 🙄 Refilled the hot water bottle, dosed myself up, and lay reading for a bit - Mr Cheery was still up when I dozed back off at 4.30 so it's going to be a quiet day here 🙄😂
Going to get up and have a cuppa now but I can't imagine he'll be up for a while, so I might treat myself to the All Creatures Great and Small Christmas special with a mince pie 🤩
Hope you all have a nice relaxed one today xxx10 -
Enjoy! Happy Christmas xxx2

Thanks TDQ!
Hope the rest ofyouare having a festive day 😊 I had a nice morning watching the first episode of All Creatures Great and Small (by accident, but couldn't be bothered to turn it off) then the most recent Christmas special (deliberately). Done my family duty phone calls, and eaten some chocolates. Mr C is back in bed, and I'm plotting and scheming with my new pens.
No sign of either of us being bothered to cook yet... 🙄😂
Rock n roll festivities here 😂8 -
Sounds like chilled festivities to me …. 😉 😎

Mr C is back out of bed, and we have officially abandoned any Christmas Dinner plans. Might consider tomorrow, might not. I did a nice bit of dreamboard collage with some old magazines (look at me, decluttering on Christmas Day! 😂😂) and now watching Wallace & Gromit 😁
