Lovely of the new neighbours to send you a card. The picture from their little girl, would have made me smile as well.
Just put 3 fruit cakes in the oven,have a pile of ironing to while the cakes bake.

3 of my 8 grown up Christmas boxes , GC,s are in sacks too much and too big to put in boxes 😊

[Nanto2girls]

Parcels are nicely done Oma.
Been a good day weatherwise, we've just had a leisurely stroll to the chemist and post office.

That's all the Christmas cards written and posted. Now all I have to do is post the ones to neighbours and friends.

OH and myself are out this evening for a Christmas meal we booked at a pub in town . We thought it wound nice to go this evening as it's late night shopping and there might be a few carols being performed in the city centre. We will have a little stroll around and then go for our meal.

Nanto are they for us ladies they look yummy 😊
Mimi have a lovely night xx

All my decs up apart from my holly and berry rope light, happy to report apart from sniffing rudolphs bum, Shiloh has left it all alone. I saw some cute christmas tins in home bargains need to go tomorrow and grab some. Going to fill them with home made shortbread for the family. Getting excited about Christmas now.

Christmas boxes and fruit cakes look lovely, Oma and Nan2!
Mimi in her last house OH had a nasty neighbourhood cat which terrorised her cat, She had a long range water pistol too
That sounds a lovely night out.

Mimi have a lovely night xx

We are left with just ½ a cake Oma. each of the kids have taken one, and the other one i've cut in half, to take some to inlaws tomorrow.
Looks like i need to make some more.
Mimi, it sounds like you will have a lovely evening.

Nanto - those cakes look so good, I could even smell them! No wonder they are so popular.

Oma - your parcels look very professional. I know the idea was discussed ages ago (Zizi's, ?) and I should think your grown-ups will be delighted. Your new neighbours sound like a lovely family.

LG - I can just imagine the puzzled look on Shiloh's face when he sniffed the reindeer's bum!!

Mimi - I hope you've had a lovely meal and a nice evening enjoying the Christmas spirit. I hope the water pistol deters the bully-cat.

After walking Eva this morning, then shopping, we had 20 minutes to grab a snack before going to training class. The traffic was slow coming home so didn't get in until after 5, and I was shattered. So I've done none of the things I planned tonight, so I'm going to treat myself to an early night.

[Plantaholic]

Those cakes certainly looked yummy Nanto, was my OH's favourite

you deserve that early night Daisy after your busy day

That sounds like a lovely evening out Mimi

Good morning everyone.
Wet and rainy here. This afternoon is the usual stuff with my mum. She suggested she , OH and I go out for our evening meal together tonight. Nice idea, especially for mum who doesn't go out much (by choice) I won't be telling her my news today therefore. I certainly won't tell her in public, nor just before leaving her when we drop her off. It will wait though.

[Nanto2girls]

Good morning Gem, and all who follow.
Didn't realise the time,been tidying/sorting the freezers.
Gem, you will know when the time is right to tell Mum your news. It would be a shame to spoil her meal out with you and OH.

[Oma]

Morning ladies , isn't it so dark on a morning we have a street light out and it's surprising how much difference it makes just one light , Off to our shopping centre soon I really need to get some money out of cash machine I have about £4 in my purse glad it's only 5 minutes away I have to cross a fly over bridge and not to keen when it's this dark at least there are houses at one end of bridge an M&S at other side so lights there . Have a good day ladies xxx

[Mimi]

Morning all
Oma do you really need to go and get cash while it is still dark. Wait about half an hour and then it will be light. ( I'm sounding like everyone's mum here )
Gem enjoy your day as best you can, you are right there is a time and place and in public isn't the place. X

We had a lovely meal last night but we were very disappointed at the lack of Christmas atmosphere around the town and in the pub. It used to be lovely in there at this time of year, log fire and Christmas music.Instead it was Jeremy Kyle on the big tv screen (sound turn down thankfully but subtitles on ) and a pop commercial radio station playing music. There was a huge Christmas tree in the room so that was a bonus.
As for the town , there wasn't even as much as a street busker around!
