Chippy! How lovely to see you!

I do sometimes name change to SnowMuchToBits for Christmas, but like to keep my original name for Playmo threads, so people know where they are! Smile

I've just bought an ice skater from eBay! My youngest DC turned 18 - there's no hope is there? Grin

Oooh, which one did you get? My ds is 21. So no hope at all. In fact I am posting my Winter PlaymOlympics on FB too, and one of my friends described me as bonkers. I took it as a compliment! Grin

Just got excited opening this thread
