    I've tied in the making of the gifts and cards etc with the activity a day Sort of cheating I guess
    Not at all. That's what children used to do. I remember my Granny helping me to knit scarves and gloves and socks for family Christmas presents. I think we should all get back to doing this. And to receive a card that a child has made is worth more than the most expensive one you could buy.
    Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.

    Well today turned into a long day. Finally waiting for my taxi to take me home. Was dark when I came out and dark when I'm going home boo. Totally lost a day.

    Managed to watch the F1 though - Brilliant result for the last race of the season. Countdown to March now ;)

    No more painting tonight. Shower and fall into the sofa :o

    Only spends have been taxi's and a coffee :o Another coffee in a paper cup and not worth the £2!

    Got home and fell asleep before I even did anything!

    Guess that's what good pain relief does to you :o

    I'm just having a coffee in the hope I wake up enough to get some jobs done :o x

    When I was on the cocodamol they used to make me feel really relaxed and sleepy. Can see why people get addicted to them.

    If you don't get the jobs done today, there's always tomorrow.

    Take care xx
