Good Morning New Year's Day!

[JoM]

Never heard of the steak pie tradition Poll!

[Ally]

Oh we ALWAYS had mum's home made steak pie on NYD.

[pollR78]

ah well it must be up here then lol!

I have to say I don't always do it but always here people saying they are off to the butchers to get their steak pie for NYD, one year I made stovies which is another Scottish dish.

Have to say im looking forward to dinner today, Steak Pie, Carrots and Mash mmmm!

There was a steak pie for NYD in that comedy drama last night - Two Doors Down. That was in Scotland

It must be a Scottish thing as Id never heard of it before either

Loz, not in the least bit selfish, ten days is a long time for visitors, even family (((((x)))))

[Gal]

Oh yes we watched that Kaz!

Well I made an effort and dressed up a bit for our meal a deux last night, lamb with veg, and then we ate chocolate and watched telly We were tired so went to bed around half eleven, like Osc we watched the fireworks at midnight

Smudge was on the bed with us at first and then he was being a nuisance so by 3.30 when he started scratching, I got up to let him out. Jen got home from work shortly after that and as I wasn't asleep I could hear her moving about getting something to eat and coming up to bed etc, so not much sleep!! We had a long lie in this morning, and have just messed about since then. Lewis is sleeping tonight so we are charging our batteries for the energy ball when he gets here

[Kaz]

Oh bless him, he's at such a lovely age Hope you have a great night with him

We are getting somewhere with Fraggle at last - only once last night did he try to climb onto the bed! Then when Mick sternly said "Basket, Fraggle!" he went back to his basket!!!

Afternoon all

We've not long been back home, what a horrid wet day, the motorway was horrendous. Glad we didn't have to travel too far.

Last night was brilliant. Dinner was very good and then everybody let their hair down. Lots of dancing, E knew he'd be suffering today but couldn't resist joining in. Sooo this morning as well as an almighty hangover he's hobbling more than usual. He says it was definitely worth it though

Intend to collapse for the rest of the day and do absolutely nothing.

Wishing you all a Happy New Year x

[Kaz]

That sounds terrific Jen - the night out, not poor E suffering that is

You both looked extremely glam in the pic I saw

[Ally]

We're back from the coast.

A lovely walk and lunch.

We've decided to go up to Big Tapas (also known as Big Vodkas) to watch the footy at 6.30.

Then we'll bring a Chinese takeaway home.

So today I've had brekky, brunch, lunch and a snack and it's only 3.30.

[Kaz]

You've run it off already Ally in advance - I saw your map thingy on Facebook this morning!!!
