General Chat

We have already made a start. The man cave shed is really tidy but full of extra tools etc that will have to go. As for my shed most of it is stuff to keep :-D :-D

You are going to need a strong will to sort the wheat from the chaff and be ruthless in what you do and do not need!! I presume the eight legged beasties in the shed are not taking up a new residence :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

I am paying for Xmas lunch but I won't be cooking it. We will just relax until new year as it looks as though we may well be busy after then ;-)

I don't think I will be stuffing myself. I feel rather compelled to do my best with the Xmas dinner as it certainly isn't cheap (thank goodness I'm not paying :-D), but for the rest of the week I will probably be my own and depending on the weather, will try to get a couple of walks in around the lake or I might pick fur up and walk her if they are home.

I am hopefully keeping it under control as I can be kept active by the mini gooners :-D :-D :-D

It'll be doing that over next weekend anyway :-D :-D :-D :-D

I am glad it is not here as my waistline would expand more than a bit :-D :-D

There was a block of Welsh butter as well, LG :-) :-) I will be overload this weekend :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Oh yum Bara Brith and Welsh Cake :-D :-D. I am sitting with my feet up now after having our tea which was a bit late tonight because baby boy called in to see us.

Evening everyone :-)

You have been busy girls today!! It's marvellous what effect the thought of Santa visiting has on us all :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

LG, if Santa was in uniform, I would most seriously consider sleeping with him :-D :-D ;-) ;-)

I had a traumatic morning with work, but just managed to get away in time to make it to the hairdressers, but no time for any lunch :-| :-| Anyway, my afternoon brightened up as I was expecting a delivery to arrive at work and was hoping that they would leave it outside the internal door. I drove straight down when I left the hairdressers and it was waiting for me!!

It was a lovely gift from one of the practitioners grateful for the help that I have given her - a Welsh afternoon tea hamper containing Bara Brith cake, Welsh cakes, scones, raspberry conserve, blueberry conserve, clotted cream and Welsh teabags :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) The Bara Brith is delicious and I will have the scones over the weekend!!

I am sitting with my feet up tonight. One gift to wrap tomorrow when it has been delivered and then unmentionables. Hopefully no disturbances to the routine so I can stay in all weekend and get the bigger jobs done.

I will be nipping out at lunchtimes and doing the food shop bit by bit and finish it off on Christmas Eve morning as I will be on leave, so a reasonably peaceful week for me for a change :-) :-) :-) :-)

We are going into town tomorrow to shop for last minute bits and lunch. :-D. I have put up the big tree this year even though we have no company coming

I have the upstairs to go through Monday ,I did scrub the shower at lunch time so getting there ,Tonite is Auntie on phone and FH then tomorrow I am going to Durham with Froggy for some lunch
,My tree is a baby one this year on a sideboard so its not hard to put up and its a pre lit one too

I have given up with my Xmas wreath for today,it only needs a few bits doone which entail using the glue gun and I can't be bothered to dig it out right now :-D :-D. We have had a lovely chat with two of the mini Gooners this afternoon and we are so looking forward to seeing them next week.

Yes Maz is more organised than me too, I have spent the last couple of hours doing christmas stuff, now having a cup of tea and putting my feet up. :-D

Afternoon Maz and all, you are more organised than me Maz :-D :-D. I have cleaned right through the house and dealt with the laundry so I am now going to sit down and make another churchyard wreath that will only leave me 3 more to make for next Thursday when we will take them to the graves
