I've had to go and do my mums shopping this morning as she has a chest infection and I didn't want to drag her out. I asked her to get as much done as she could last week as I knew Tesco would be a nightmare today. I'm still trying to work out how I ended up with a list a mile long and 3 big bags of shopping |

"Who's pouring then?" |

Finish work about 1pm and then straight home and get the car parked up. A quick tidy round and look see what rubbish is on the TV and probably settle down with a magazine or two, not to mention POE. |

Dave John Posts: 22335 Joined: 27th Feb 2011 Location: England | Posted at 20:43 on 23rd December 2013 Had a quick look when I got the TV book last week and it's a sad thing when some of the only things worth watching are either repeats or classic films like Casablanca. So don't think the box will be on much |

It looks like things are about ready and presents are already being swapped ahead of time. Heavy rain today, but giving away to dry and sunny weather by this time tomarrow. Really warm also for this time of the year. People I bet will be out and about looking at the lights. I'll try to check in later on, but just in case...Season's Greetings! |

This makes an beautiful poinsetta plant, cookies, small turkey, tea towel and scarfe and hat/mittens... from nieghbors close by, including my sister in-law...while my sister has received an blanket, cookie tray and turkey also where she lives..so it is perhaps people are coming around to be more humanitarian these days....and we all bless each other for an better year ahead in 2014. I'm trying very hard to change the circumstances of the last several years. We use to have good neighbors and then it changed, some weren't so great...and now it's changing back again for the better...or so I hope. |
