Morning all and happy Christmas Eve!

In the office, just had a very tasty egg and sausage roll. Feeling a lot perkier than before! The radio is on and we'll be leaving shortly, feels so festive.

Party was good thanks fedup, I wore my Zarita. Got ID'ed in the first bar we went to at 12.30pm not a usual occurrence, incredulously said "No I don't have any ID because I'm 28?!?!" (when I go out I usually take a small purse with just 2 cards in).

Hope you can sort the missing presents somehow Marsha, how annoying.

My 2015 style resolutions... find some wedding shoes and a stick on bra, don't spend anything else before April because I'll be stressing too much, then spend what I've saved on a new handbag!

Merry Christmas everyone! I am finally feeling relaxed, MIL is cooking tomorrow, at SIL for drinks and nibbles this evening and everyone here on Boxing Day for leftovers and chips (the one time of year my guilty secret, the deep fat fryer comes out of hiding Xmas Grin]]. Can't beat leftover ham and turkey with egg and homemade chips and buttery sliced white! health coaching? Not on Boxing Day!

Dry did the donkey heed your warning this morning? Too funny Smile. Sorry to hear about DH having to work Shop. Fedup Flowers hope all is ok.

One you have had an amazing year, achieved so much, despite all your health problems, you should be very proud of yourself. Try putting yourself back a year and thinking about all the changes you've made - maybe a list of things to be proud of/grateful for Xmas Wink.

I hope all of you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year with your loved ones!

MarshaBrady · 24/12/2014 11:58

Thanks everyone!

Good news is the dc are better, two dats ago they could barely move from their beds and slept all day. Could have been so unlucky with the timing. Thankfully we're good to go.

Couldn't find the presents Hmm, picked up something nice at Fortnum & Masons so at least I have something to give.

Getting excited now, sure I'll be back tomorrow to wish everyone a lovely Christmas Thanks

MarshaBrady · 24/12/2014 12:00

S&B resolution - no mistakes! They are less frequent but my aim is zero mistake Grin

MarshaBrady · 24/12/2014 12:05

Oh and find a dress / outfit for lunch and evening drinks.

Drywhiteplease · 24/12/2014 15:50

Yes Sleep the "cute" bastard donkey has calmed down so has the wind and I slept well last night. LOVE your guilty secret....who'd have guessed? Grin

Sleep Xmas Shock at you guilty secret!

Blair I found say yes to the dress last night and watched it for about 2hours Xmas Blush. Am particularly impressed with Randy's perfect eyebrows!

Glad you got a better nights sleep Dry.

Style resolutions, hmmm, probably the same as Betty, buy less but make them work hard. Actually, even though there is not masses in my wardrobe following a big clear out, there are still some pieces I hardly wear and some that I wear all the time. Would definitely like more designer bags though!

Am getting ready to out for a meal with friends - everything for tomorrow is all done. Have a lovely evening everyone.

bettykt · 24/12/2014 18:30

In case I don't manage to come back on here today. I'd like to wish you all a very merry Christmas and also a big thank you for welcoming me on the thread. I've re-discovered my style and am getting back to how I dressed pre- dc. You're all great.

LinusDKD · 24/12/2014 18:41

Has everyone gone to Boxing Day sales or just hungover?

Marking place for update on Amber's Selfridges swoop.

santamarianovella · 26/12/2014 11:01

No shopping for me, think I won't do any shopping for a while now
