It's not me

You're thinking about it though! 

No point in me squeezing hubby's present to me ... I know what it is - I bought it!!

At least you know you're going to like it.

PMSL!

I was really touched on Thursday, a friend who is ill atm gave me a present as a thank you for taking her little girl to school and picking her up a few times, the tag she wrote on it is lovely. She's having OP on 2nd Jan (didn't want it before Christmas cos of said daughter and Christmas) and the fact she thought to get me something with all that going on i find really sweet.

I do it every year ... he loves it because he doesn't have to think of what to buy me (though he usually gets some perfume, or smellies or something) and I love it because I get what I want

So have I and that was just my husband.

That's nice Jen

 

I had a lovely present today from a friend who doesn't have much money to spare. She gave me flowers early on in the year which she had cut from her garden ... I absolutely loved them (can't remember what they are called).

 

She turned up tonight with four plants of them, which she had dug from her garden. 

 

Didn't cost her anything, but it was a lovely thought and I very much appreciate them 

Aww that's nice Rexi, i love thoughtful things like that

Wow! That's brilliant. Shows she does really care  

Down girl! 

I want to write a Blizzie type comment about hoping he comes in the right size, or words to that effect.

 

But it didn't sound funny in my head - although it would if Blizz  had written it

It's making me laugh, Rexi but I really am not at liberty to explain further 

You must have been invalueable to her, Jen 

okaaaaaay

2 more sleeps after i close my eyes! Night peeps

one is soft like a scarf, there's a litre bottle of vodka or some other spirits, something rattles so I think it's a necklace or bracelet, something from the body shop, perfume x 2 and I've no idea what my sister got me coz she wraps it in other boxes and tapes all the corners shut coz she's the one who taught me how to peek with ripping too much when we were kids   I've a few more to collect tomorrow but I will probably not peek at those so that I have a few surprises.

Here we go.. Ho ho ho!!!!!!!!

all you shakers, pokers and rippers think shame on yourself (especially you cosi.. if you rip him too much you'll never patch him up properly!)   I'm an  with prezzies... I'm scared to touch them in case they tear or open or shake.  I hate knowing what I'm getting!    it helps that I have very  few here in my own house - Christmas is at my sis's so she has all of mine from the family there (she's like a Christmas post office) so we all have Chrimbo bags to open.  I've only a  couple of friends' ones here and I'm ignoring them.   

 

Two more sleeps, two more sleeps 

Not long to wait kaffy, then you can tear & rip em open and chuck the rubbish all over the floor!

I've been watching christmas specials all afternoon and i'm thoroughly enjoying myself

I do.... but then I have to pick it up again.   anyway... my contribution to Chrimbo dinner is a meat loaf/stuffing type affair - it's ready, prezzies are all wrapped (apart from two pairs of jammies my sis picked up for me in town the other day) and I've coloured my hair.   I think I'm done.  

That was a productive day  Delivered all the presents, did the mother in laws shopping for her seeing as we were going to those particular shops anyway, got my food shopping and a few more pressies for the kids, picked out a nice handbag for my OH to buy me and all this without stepping foot in town

 

Went to one shop, got most of the groceries and then said to my OH that we had to go into Costcutters on the way home for ham and cheese and a few snacks.  The evils he gave me at the till when it all came to £90  Still....we're all done now so to him!

I would like to put my guess in here that my daughter has bought me one of those Kindle Book things I don't want to upset her by telling her what I think she has got me but she does kind of spoil it by dropping so many hints

 

I will report back if I was right

I'm done now ... I've been shopping with mother today, got the turkey and all the last minute bits.

 

 

all that is left to do is lay the table for Christmas lunch, and I will rope in the fam to do that tomorrow

Aimee, I think I've guessed my gift too! I saw it on mr summers iPad accidentally- a sunrise lamp! I really really want one too, so I'll be delighted but will have to act surprised

Is that the light therapy lamp.?

Silly question but does it create the equivalent to sunlight.?

We had an hour and a half power cut tonight!! Christmas candles came in handy So did the Kindle! Felt like living in 'Little Women' days.

At Morrison's today first off had to wait for a parking space ......had to hunt down a trolley and the queues at the checkout went the whole length of the aisles (over an hour in the queue). I usually sail round Morrison's with my Christmas shop (never known it like this before). It was all very good humoured though and I had my boy and his partner with me .................they are the very best packers in the world 10/10.

 

I may go to town tomorrow - I have a feeling everyone's been out today I would like a quick whiz round M&S and also possibly Sainsbury's.....................however I've really got everything that I need.

have a great Xmas everyone!

 

Erin, it simulates a sunrise it lights the room over a 20-30 min period, so you wake more naturally than having to flick a switch! I had a great app on the iPad that did it and it worked well, but it hasn't worked since the ios6 update, and they've not released an update either. I'm awful in the dark mornings, I hate leaving my bed!

Happy Christmas Eve everyone!

Good morning Who's ready to track Santa?! He's in the North Pole and is getting ready to launch

Morning Sweet

 

i'm just about to look at it now, thanks for the reminder 

 morning

Mummy is flapping in the household tradition of Xmas

The turkey has cooked dry and our 20yr old pyrex dish has just gone 'bang' !!!

He'll soon be flying rexi! good morning

Morning saint, ooh dear, I hope there's a spare dish and I'm sure there's something you can do to moisten the turkey
