Good Morning Tuesday

BrendaWymms Put everything into a suitable size box. It makes wrapping much easier. Even if its an old cereal box wrapped in decent wrapping paper.

I didn't log on today until 2pm ish. I have been a busy bee. Taking a sit down now though. My shoulder is complaining from cooking a dish for a ladies meal tonight.

Mission accompanied in that all the presents are wrapped and I did put one, that was a terrible shape Elegran in a box to make life easier.

10am is not too early to start, is it? It is Christmas.

We seem have a good Chablis Charleygirl.

Did someone say party? DH is doing a long pre Christmas trip round his rellies tomorrow. So some of the choccies won't be here but I do have a big teapot as well as glasses. Do we need nibbles?

Good luck at hospital Mick - and hope you enjoy the curry!! I often get the X5 to Oxford and come into Gloucester Green- must look out for it.

Party round grannypam's anyone??

Kittylester - I did 150 miles last Wednesday (train though) to see the little boys in their nursery Nativity!! Older one was the best wise man since at least Olivier and little bro was a somewhat bemused red-headed twinkle star!! No pics allowed which was a shame as DD wasn't able to be there at all.

Galen that is marvellous. Your aunt is one up on me, I do not possess an iPad.

My 93 year old aunt was given an iPad earlier this year. Never having used a computer in her life, she has mastered it!
Not only that, but last night she face timed me! I hadn't got round to mastering that yet!

I really do not mind but I do like a very dry white. Is that to your taste?

Red or white Charleygirl? French or New World?

Harri I did a round trip of 40 miles to see DGD1 say 4 lines in her 'drama' group christmas production. The man and two women in front used their cameras to record their little cherubs (who obviously weren't as good as my DGD) but it was worth it to here her shout (from the stage) 'Here I am, Ma' and wave so enthusiastically that she nearly missed her cue.

Granniepam you obviously cannot cope with all of those bottles of wine- your husband would not notice us sampling at least one bottle? If we finished one, we would know that the remaining 23 were fit for family and friends consumption. Could I stay overnight please as I would not be fit to drive home.

Brenda If you only buy presents that come in boxes it is easier to wrap them.

Good morning from a sunny north east. Going to see GD2 in her pre-school play this afternoon, it will take me longer to get there than the play lasts but I would walk barefoot to see it. Last week she was singing and dancing round the kitchen and I told her she was a star " actually I am an angel Grandma" obviously she is an angel in the play

2 different men with vans have been - can't move in the hall for bottles of wine and boxes of choccies..... DH says they're family treats - to be saved for the 25th. He's going out tomorrow .......

Beautiful but cold in the East Midlands

Just doing a bit of admin stuff before I take DS1 to the physio dept in Sheffield for them to check his FES. It always happens in the week before Christmas and DS is not keen on changing his appointment without a good reason. Christmas busyness doesn't count! At least it's not snowing which is what usually happens.

Beautiful day in Brum

Good morning . Very dank here !

Clear and cold in Cheshire. I have just been out to bring the bin back in and had to warm up when I came in! A change from the last few mild days.

Sun's out, again. And the man with a van from a large supermarket chain is due with 24 bottles of wine. , , ! Hic.

Bright and very breezy here today. DH is off for his 'works' do where he volunteers. He cooked some really delicious tartlets yesterday to take - and, bless him made extra for meee! They are lovely - pastry made with butter and all that.

The sun is shining here in the North East.
I am having a lazy morning DD and SIL have taken the DGC to school, but I still had to get up to get them ready while they lay in bed...lets not go there,chill its Chrsitmas, might have another cup of tea.
