Me!!

In your honour, I had a Gingerbread Latte from Costa's drive thru yesterday. It is delicious. 

I saw some gingerbread men decorations in B&Q and they are not a patch on yours!!

I'm off to Sainsburys today and might pick up some more Christmas goodies.

BTW, PB saw the dancing Santa, and the Elf "countdown to Christmas" ornament, and gave her approval. 

I've ordered my fresh food for Xmas day and Boxing Day .....got  my cards ....and some presents ....so I am getting there Sweet  

no  it's far too early...although i did buy some board games for wee one last night after a couple of drinkiepoos but that was only cos they were 3 for 2 and that's it!! no more!!

Summer, as you know, I got my reindeer throw and "santa scene" bauble yesterday. Don't tell Mr Y I spent £3.50 on a single bauble.
