Q wont' appreciate the dinner. He's in the habit lately of taking food, chewing it up, sucking on it a while, then spitting it out . What a waste! Dh just says "he can live on his fat reserves... he's not going hungry" but

We haven't decided what we're going to see yet, Star. But we really must make a point of sorting it out or it's the kind of thing we won't get round to.

Oh yes, I got a great Christmas present today. I got a reminder for an unpaid parking fine - for a ticket I never actually got! They're asking for £100. I think I'm going to have to ask for photographic evidence, as I definitely didn't receive a ticket, so never got the option of paying earlier when the fine was smaller. I'm not even sure if I was there, as it was back in November.

aubergenie that's frustrating!
The guy I sold my car to was meant to mail off the v5 form and didn't! So I got slapped with an 80 pound fine. . I emailed him and asked him about it and he never wrote me back jerk.

Presents wrapped and all around tree. Potatoes and parsnips peeled (realised that I bought little carrots that don't need peeling - hurrah!). About to chop cauli. Then 'just' the tidying to do. Might even find time for a little snack.

Right, done about as much as I'm going to tonight!

I checked the present from my uncle, and it's actually jelly babies, so at least D can have some. Will have to ration them both though.

Merry Christmas everyone!

They are soaking in a bowl of water in the fridge myjob. They will leach some of their nutrients, but they shouldn't discolour or go horrid.

I sometimes par boil and sometimes don't. Soaking doesn't make any difference to them.

Happy Christmas everyone!!!!!

Merry Christmas!!

merry christmas!

Merry Christmas everybody. I hope Santa fills your stockings!

Morning Christmas ladies! We're in present heaven here. M has been opening and playing with everything and DS has been tearing paper as if his life depended upon it. I have opened my SS present...... Do I tell yet?

Yes do tell 50ft! We're about to go and open pressies now - dd is bursting to, but ds slept in a bit and is just scoffing his pancakes!

I will if you will Myjob.

I got a baking book! Very apt and looks like there are lots of yummy cake recipes to test my skills! I think my SS is either Hmm or Myjob. I need to pin it down...... I'll go for.... eeeeeek...... Hmm. Am I right?

Oh and Thank You secret santa whoever you are! I shall enjoy baking some new recipes in the New Year. Yay!

Oooo Good present Myjob! Who do you think it was?

Maybe they're all still doing presents Myjob! DS could have broken the world record for present opening speed this morning. M is currently twirling around in her Christmas dress looking very pleased with herself.
