Cards written,hoping to get all my wrapping done on Saturday I've got a ton of baking to do for 3 playgroup parties and I would really like to see the dining room decorated before the holidays I suppose thats something I could do during the night when I can't sleep.I used to always wish for more hours in the day and now I've hit "the change" I've found them.

Hi all
daughter no 2 still has to have an advent calendar & she's 22 and I still fill a Christmas stocking for both my daughters but this year daughter no 1 and her OH and baby Granddaughter will be going away for Christmas so I told daughter no 1 that she won't get a stocking but I will make up a little one for the baby.

I went christmas shopping this afternoon and while I was looking through the single Christmas cards, I came across a card saying MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE BUMP. Honestly there are so many different cards not just Christmas cards but cards for anything . What next : how about cards especially for the Genealogist, To my 3C2R ( third cousin twice removed) do you think there would be a market for them.

I do still buy the bags of chocolate money lol.Xmas wouldn't be the same without them.

I'm guilty,I also still do a stocking for my 22year old and it's Easter eggs all round in the spring .Daughter is 31 and if she didn't get at least one selection box she'd be devastated,she even starts to eat it before breakfast!

Lizzie ,I haven't had an advent calender for years now.I think it might be just you lol.My sister though always has one for her son who is 18.But this year he is traveling away and will be in Cambodia from now until the end of december.She is going to really miss him being home this year.

Watched Angels and Demons and agree it was very good,really liked Ewan McGregor as the camarlengo,don't think I've seen much of his since Trainspotting which was brilliant though very harrowing.My M.I.L. has offered to lend me Mama Mia she tells me it's a feelgood film,we shall see.Booked tickets to see Kieron Goss in St Andrews in March he doesn't tour the U.K. often last time we saw him was 2002.Also got brochure in for Celtic Connections ,1500 acts in and around Glasgow during 2nd fortnight in January,gives us somewhere to go on the dark winter nights and the tickets are all very reasonable too.I am trying a new treatment for the "CHANGE" I'll give it a couple of weeks and then report back,but after the first few days it looks promising ,fingers crossed.

My dreams could be pleasant Christine ,but they will be totally bonkers lol

I am struggling to stay awake now.........I read a new book probably most weeks.I don't think I could survive without a book lol
Am signing off now for tonight Night Night everyone xx

Patricia,Angels and Demons was a brilliant film.

sat up 'til after 4 to finish the book. The only one of hers I didn't like was the first one "song of the humpback whale" I couldn't get into it at all, loved "My sisters keeper" and most of the rest although some can be quite predictable I've got the new Marian Keyes and the new Cecilia Aherne to read next .Got the DVD of Angels and Demons from a friend to watch later,I like Tom Hanks he's one of the better actors around these days I usually enjoy his films.I have to admit to prefering old b/w movies things like The Bishops Wife and anything with Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy ,I used to have a great collection on video but when my mum was hospitalised I passed them on the geriatric ward , the residents loved them and I never had the heart to ask for them back.Sometimes I just long for a Fred Astaire film to make me smile!

Evening All ,Cold here.Lights switching on in town tonight .But won't be there.Have lit the fire for the first time this winter.OOOOHHH it looks luverly.
Bet it's me who has to clean out the grate tomorrow lol.Have my wine too Patricia.I have read some of Jodi Picoult books.Loved some ,didn't get into others .

weather foul! settling down with a nice glass of wine to watch some T.V. ,not sure if anything worth watching so as back up I've got the latest Jodi Picoult book to start.

Sadly no negatives ,most of them are at least 60 years old with some of th em over 100 years old. I should probably have copied them before I sent them but as they weren't our direct "line" I didn't feel a need to have copies for myself.Looks like the relation in oz won't get to see them...shame

anyone know how long it takes for air mail to get to Australia ? I posted a package of photographs 5 weeks ago and they haven't arrived yet,now I'm hoping they haven't gone astray.

Got it LOL ...my lips are sealed!

Shame it's too Rude Christine....I quite like rude lol
Not much laundry coming back ,so he says.I will wait and see.I have a horrible feeling OH and son will be caught up in the rush hour traffic on the M25 now.

Lizzie I knew you would enjoy the head massage.It's great isn't it.

Hi All
rushing around , got an appointment to see the doctor's this afternoon for my Cholestral check and see if he's happy or not with me, Keeping fingers he is.
off to get some lunch

Morning Ladies.
I wonder if Lizzie is still all chilled and relaxed after her massage.I felt weird after mine,Nice weird though.
Christine maybe you could pm me your funny quip lol.We can't have you being sent on a hol !!!!

My son is coming home from Uni this evening just until Sunday.It will be lovely to see him.

I missed that. Gracie Fields was a fabulous performer, always good, lovely voice, funny, and could act too! Never missed her when she was on radio or television.

I went to Capri ,and saw Gracies house.
