Herbs, I will break the habit of a lifetime and deign and buy a Daily Fail ( choke) just to view an American Tan tight! Hope it paying for Christmas. Have you and Molly exchanged the train set yet? . I am very excited for your ds, to be honest. 
Waves, yawns and feels sorry for all insomnia-early wakers. Bloody awful looking at the world for a dark cold kitchen table. I was there at night with my audiobook and droopy eyes.crashed out on the sofa eventually. Dh was like a hog roast on a spit, spinning anxiously all night and couldn't be approached for fear of being snored at. Sunday nights are indeed the pits.am short on Xmas cheer today as a result.
NU, what a gorgeous thing! So pleased for you.
Tree is in festive bucket and upright. I was banned from decorating yesterday as dh furious at me for doing 25 jobs at once ( wreath, tree decor, ironing, making a lasagne, writing cards, hoovering, wrapping pressies, unloading dishwasher..) he can't bear it when I do Whirling Dervish, so was forced tositinachairandwatch tv) nervous energy thus saved up for sleepless night. Can't win.
Addle, if you had called into the UH, you would have seen the queue of 50 people and me trying to answer a phone and juggle the Saturday team with about as much grace as an exploded bin bag. It was hell in there, so probably best you sailed past.
Mrs S. Good call , sending dd back to school. Best of luck with the job apps. Dd clearly did not get her lack of motivation from her mum. Hope you have sacked the tutor. I mean really.
Beachy nice name change. I am considering doing the same.
Much respect for those pulling Christmas cheer out of the gloom.
