Good morning everyone.

We have GD staying, as her parents have gone on their annual romantic anniversary night away She spent a long time yesterday making them a beautiful anniversary card (much glitter etc everwhere )
She loves Strictly, and was desperate for Jay and Aliona to win, so much celebration last night. We let her stay up to see it all (she had her bath in the gap between programmes) So she is quite tired this morning!

She will be going around lunch time, then I have to visit my mum.

Morning ladies I have been for my last bits of stocking fillers for Brian now back home ,Josh hear for lunch DD & SIL at puppy training with Storm. Was going to my sisters today but she phoned this morning full of cold and can hardly talk so won't get to see her before Christmas in case Brian picks it up , We always spend a day with her the week before Christmas day so I'm disjointed but will see her as soon as she's well again

We've got all the family coming for a Roast today (except DIL who has to work) but this year she has Christmas Day off (her first!!) being a Midwife is hard work at the best of times what with working 12 hour shifts, but being 6 months pregnant as well makes it doubly hard, especially as some days/nights she doesn't even get time to take a drink! Will be a busy afternoon the boys are going to move the chicken run - with the aid of gs no doubt...... hope they remember their wellies.

Another two dozen mince pies made, sent a dozen in next door, stored the other dozen. I hope that is the last before Christmas, we only eat mince pies before Christmas, there are so many other things on Christmas Day

Today seems to be a day for tying up loose ends, went with my wreath to cemetery,last minute card delivery, and a last minute gift bought.
Oma DS looks like he had the plague lol
Mince pies galore then Plant I have already had 4 but they are those mini ones!
Enjoy your roast Avo we have decided not to have a proper Sunday lunch seeing as I am cooking a big dinner on Friday
I too am glad Jay won although they were all worthy winners this year

Been to Mam and Dads, family from Wigan and Blackburn came over. It was lovely to see them all.

I bought some mince pies from th baker last week and they were delicious. Someone gave me some M&S mince pies this week and they are not a patch on the bakers ones. I am going the early 23rd to get fresh bread so will buy some more mince pies. The M &S ones were dry compared to the bakers.

Made a lovely (if I say so myself) moussaka for dinner last night and put two in the freezer in foil pots. I had spare cheese sauce which is going on the cauliflower cheese we are having with beef joint today for dinner.

Stop talking about roast dinners LOL. We are having Tescos Finest Fish pie, with veg. We love it, but having just seen the roast dinner my mums kind neighbour had given her I really want one! !
Never mind, lovely roast dinners Friday and Saturday

Sophia has been busy Oma!

Jay was my favourite too.

And mine!

Sophia's Daddy must have been very tired to sleep through the stampede of dinosaurs.

Christmas preparations have been put on hold in the Daisy household - we've spent all day with Eva (see 'New member of the Family' thread) - and have only managed to decorate the tree in the hall. I haven't got the GDs tomorrow (the other Granny has kindly offered to have them) so I'm hoping to catch up a bit. There's a lot to do, but I've convinced myself (very quickly) that there's no point in flogging myself to death to do housework with 4 huge, muddy paws leaving their mark everywhere.

I have to decorate the Christmas cake, make more mince pies, decorate a chocolate log, wrap presents, and fortunately, I can't think what else needs doing ....

I made another 24 mince pies today, took a dozen through to next door, stored the rest in the hope I will not need to make any more, ha ha. GD home from university, DD on holiday from her job so I will have some company. No bowls this week or swimming, old pool closing new one opening in the new year.
