    Tonight we are babysitting the DGKs, so might be a later night, in which case I may have a leisurely morning with extra coffee and a bit of a read. Got so many books I am trying to get through. I did plan to clean out the glass cabinet tomorrow, so I may put a film on in the lounge while I do that and then have some puzzle time while eating lunch.   Then tomorrow is going to be chips for dinner at night and some TV when DH gets home.

    @beanielou - gorgeous, lovely, beautiful cats!
    @Cairnpapple - what a great way to combine Christmas with Burns Night.  Haggis toastie sounds intriguing.

    @RandomOne - lovely to meet you, and you are very welcome to join in.  Books, blankets and pets sounds like a great cosy Friday.  How about a cup of tea in a favourite cup or a hot chocolate?  Some biscuits or cake?  Last week we had soup and cheese on toast which reminded me what a nice supper that is.  Have you got a snuggly jumper or cardy and warm socks?

    Bright and sunny here today but very cold.
    we've decided to have a Friday fakeaway curry tomorrow.  OH makes a very hot curry so it might be a few notches above cosy!  We've got bits and bobs of frozen leftovers that we can use as a buffet style meal and I'm going to try and make a dhal and OH will make onion bhajis.  
    We might put some music on and have a game of cards.
    pink fluffy socks for me again tomorrow.

    Sweet cats. 🐈 

    We are watching The Good Wife in the evenings now as we hadn't watched it before. I decluttered my wardrobe this week and my husband just took the bags to our local hospice shop. I might see if I can wear something tomorrow that I haven't even worn as I did notice I had a few items left that I haven't worn out of the house yet. I might make a HM curry or pimp up an Aldi pizza for dinner tomorrow. :)

    That's what I plan to do this Friday. Get under my electric throw with a book and a hot drink. Strangely my book of choice is not a novel but Flyladys 'Sink Reflections.'  I enjoy reading non fiction and I fancy re-reading this book.

    DH will be working so its a different type of one for me this week.

    Not sure...maybe You've Got Mail or maybe Pride & Prejudice. Something like that
