Morning all. I'm running late - didn't wake up until 9.45am!!!!
Am in the middle of making the lasagne for tomorrow and then need to get on with the sausage rolls for Boxing Day. I really want to push the hoover round - once the presents are opened tomorrow I won't get chance for a few days until they are all moved!
Fire needs cleaning out too - that can wait until Mick gets back with the dog.
Off to my mum and dads for lunch - leaving in a couple of hours. Really must get a wriggle on.
Will keep fingers tightly crossed your son gets home to you safely kaz xxx
After all the dreadful wind and rain yesterday, really awful throughout the evening, we woke up to a bright sky and sunshine. Sods law really, yesterday I had to go out and today I'm staying indoors
Planning a really lazy day. Just a bit of tidying up to do and the last couple of pressies to wrap ready for mother tomorrow morning and that's it. The laziness will carry through to dinner, we're having M&S lasagne, focaccia to mop it up, all washed down with a bottle of bubbly. Oh and I might even stir myself to open a box of mince pies, no effort spared in this joint
Have just updated on another thread, the weather one I think - Chris's local train to Reading where he would pick up his connection from Paddington to Gloucester was cancelled. My wonderful husband has gone to collect him - I am so lucky to have Mick, he is a diamond xxxx
Good afternoon all! It's bright and sunny here, although still windy but I won't complain as it's drying the washing!
I've been to the gym and John's been for a bike ride, the sausage rolls and the ham have been cooked and I was going to hoover but Tom did it - without being asked! All that's left to do today is pop into my parents to pick up presents and then go to the pub!
I decided to try Waitrose about an hour ago and it was fine - space in the car park and no queues for the checkouts So we do now have dolcelatte - and bearnaise sauce - and even the pork pie Bb particularly wanted, for Friday
