Aaah Kay, hope things get better for you soon, have been thinking of you.
Oh yukkity, yukkity yuk JCJ am in no way enticed by your crisps! Love tomato crisps a traditionalist haha!
Laughed re your surprise Xmas gift
!
Lovely day here too, snow still lying.
Have GD tomorrow and next day so will be on the "childhood" bench trying to think of exciting things to do!!
Woke up at 3.20 am this morning having the biggest hot flush in ages whew sweaty betty or what?? have't missed them one bit.....................xx
Started snowing here this morning!!
Also had a super, duper day, lots of food munched, sweeties gobbled and lovely gifts though think I may be jigsaw'd out for a while haha!
Spent most of Boxing Day sleeping...............zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, so tired but happy tired!
Am meeting a friend today so will have to get my wake up head on and trudge throw the snow with my chariot, hope pushing will be easy.............
Had a look on t'internet for bargains and saw NOTHING and can't be bothered fighting through the shops, do you not think tv has been abysmal or is it only me? xx
Wonderful news JCJ, what a lovely gift for Xmas, your sister must be over the moon!
Good about your son's gizmo Ali!
Just nipped out superly quickly for my last things....................caught in a torrential downpour, grrrrrrrrrr!
Everything done and dusted as they say.
Had a JCJ moment in the supermarket, 2 enormous caramel doughnuts fell, yes, fell into my basket, so am away to try one
!
Wishing you all the merriest, happiest of Xmas's, have a fabulous day girls xx
Just had some REALLY good news from my sister! 🙂 Our brother has been deemed 100% combatible for bone marrow transplant, so it's all systems go. He will have to come up to Birmingham (from Bournemouth!) for a medical and to be given details of treatment/sign the consent forms. Fingers crossed the mediacal doesn't throw up any problems, and that he doesn't change his mind - I'll have words if he does!!
My sister doesn't know whether to laugh or cry (and is horrified that she and EB are identical in ANY way! :p)
I've just got back from the farm shop. Turkey & fresh fruit/veg collected. All Christmas purchasing completed. Presents wrappped. OH despatched to allotment where he left the brandy (*I* bought for christmas cake/Brandy butter - still need it for the latter! 
) yesterday. Bribing the volunteers?!
Anything else that we haven't got or can't get from local Spar (other local......),-which is even open 11 am to 1pm Christmas DAY! - we'll do without. Time to do some cleaning. But not too much! 😛
The Alligalinctus has not worked. I'm still coughing! I feel fine in myself though so that's the end of the cold at least.
I am not even going to think of your recipe Katy. Even if the ingredients are readily available (even up the walls.......how?.......why?......who?). I will keep taking the remedy I've got although it's obviously not working either.
Off to bed with me, school tomorrow, got to try and catch up now in the three days before Christmas.
Oh no FF, that's what happens when you can't remember anything?? Were you not one of the wranglers??
All I can say is good job I went for a wander last night, went down by the bombed cave and was brave enough to venture in...............
Oh my rocks everywhere, as I scrambled over said rocks with my head torch, something caught my eye!
Oh my, a secret room................managed to force my way in....................no cobwebs or spiders but a small Apothecary Room filled with potions, elixirs and other wonderful things??
Picked up some jars and checked out the labels, beard wax, moustache oil, I love it here!!
Have just found A Ye Olde Recipe for sore throats, this 'll cure you FF!
"a mixture of dried children’s feces and honey for inflammation of the throat" xx
Just a thought, near the end of Carol Panto Party I would like to volunteer my services as Santa!
With my red fluffy face, beard and HUGE tummy, think I am in a strong position.
Please pop gifts in the barrel, near the shed, not any where near the spider sanctuary.
We have had tiaras, knee highs, rhinestones, doc martins, flashing light shoes, any ideas for new gifts?
Aah FF, glad you are on the mend, we just couldn't have a party without your infamous head/body spinning routine xx
A day behind Ali? Oh I wish I was only a day behind! Thanks to catching the worst cough/cold in the world I think I'm about 10 days behind I have no idea how to catch up. I have even had to have three days off work this week, first days off sick (not counting bc) since 2009. I don't DO off sick! Too many years spent self employed I think. However, feeling halfway human again and it's now the end of term. Yay! I have sneaked away early today (don't tell!) and will make up the time next week.
Thank goodness for internet shopping I say. Everybody has at least one pressie to open and vouchers will sort the rest.
Have looked out my outfit for the carol singing. Very fetching catsuit in green velvet with red brocade and orange satin. (Who muttered "Dog's dinner? I heard you!).
Cannot possibly alligator wrangle, just do not have the energy!
Oh my JCJ you are truly "going all out", your outfit sounds STUNNING, am well impressed!
No gingerbread houses here, tried last year with GD, just lets say it turned out a little wobbly
!
Tiredness still an issue with me too, put it down to other ailments but what JCJ is saying makes sense. Since I had my flu jab have had an afternoon nap the last two days?? So body fighting etc could well be right.
After being a "smartypants" have forgotten a present soooooooooooooo will have to go and find something tout suite, will sing the carols as I go xx
Bread and butter, tins of pineapple, tins of sardines, chocolate, potted meat, biscuits, marmalade and lashings and lashings of ginger beer......................oh no am in the wrong place..............midnight feast.........no should be in The Carol Panto Party!
Gosh you are hoping for a miracle that I will be able to remember all your tunes JCJ haha!!
Will be wearing my lilac crimpolene hot pants and my flashing light shoes.
Did manage to go into town yesterday and couldn't believe my eyes, "Joe the camel" appearing here soon??? WHAT???? Who's Joe???? xx
Count me in!!
Oooooooooooh is it the "silent" choir??
Am soooooooo excited tiara and knee highs are already donned! They match my jammies perfectly!!
Welcome CassieB, yep ofcourse you can join in! If you have a singing voice you will have a strong advantage and may have a leading role in JCJ's choir extravaganza!
Too exciting for words, tra la la la la................
Had my first Xmas Lunch, really lovely meal, yum yum, even sampled a glass of the house wine, well you have to join in! Next one tomorrow, will be on the "reinforced fat b**" bench very soon!
Had a phone call from docs and had my flu jab yesterday, woke up at 4 this morning having a nightmare, jeez, I hardly EVER remember dreams never mind nightmares.......................have a little nausea this morning, never had any side effects before, anyone else??
Have to hit the town today, grrrrrrrrrr, might go down later, when hopefully it will be a lot quieter xx
Oh so pretty your italics JCJ, good/bad news that kids have the "bug" too, fingers crossed no more bugs or anything else.
Am on the "grrrrrrrrrrrrrr" bench spent ages sorting out jigsaw pieces have just dropped the whole lot on the floor
! Can't believe it, grrrrrrrrrrr!!
Away to pick them up then nip over to supermarket for a couple of things.
ED, partner and the bump left around an hour ago, ED growing bigger by the day, she is a wee thing so bump looks enormous xx
