Happy birthday, _bettina_! I hope you're having a most fantastic day!

I need to thank people for mail.

I love swag so much :) mickeym, thank you so much for the beautiful card, lunkidunk thank you so much for your card too, it's gorgeous! babycakesin, much thanks from all of us, you're a sweetheart. satsuma77 I love it! Thank you! Gill sent me the most gorgeous sparkly glitterbug from Lush and it's perfect! And no this one won't be left on top of the microwave *g*

You all rock, getting mail these last few weeks has been a pleasure. You also put me to shame as at this point half of my stuff will be late.

Today's been a busy day, shopping, doctors, more shopping and a visit to nannas. It would have been her and grandad's wedding anniversary today, 65 years, so she was a little down. She'd been to lay flowers on his grave and dad had planted some flowers so that was her tribute to him. Somehow, and I really don't know how this happened, arrangements were made to take her to the Boxing day dip. This is when thousands of insane people run into the freezing sea on Boxing day for charity. James usually takes Corey to watch but I stay at home to help with the boxing day tea so how it ended us all going I don't know.

Shopping is half done and a turkey defrosting on the draining board. Now all we need is a grocery shop and two last gifts and we're finished. I'm really looking forward to this weekend :) James was wrapping my presents last night and when he unwrapped the MX dvds there were Blinky Bill chocolates inside! Blinky Bill! That was such a nice thing for the seller to do.

SeSa was submitted on time then details changed many times until I finally stopped messing and forced myself to shut the window. Now I'm doing the dance of 'oh god what if they hate it, new stories to read!'

Hee - I couldn't resist when I was in Lush and saw them and it was sparkly and I remembered your microwave story and they do melt EVERYWHERE but this was Christmas and you gave me confidence in the story and you know what I mean by canny and stottie and black bullets and I ate too much chocolate.

Yes.

LOL. Chocolate is good, as are black bullets and stotty, and really canny is a wonderful word. So useful for so many sentences.

He's a canny lad.
It's a canny long way away.

It drives my non Northern mates mad as it gets used in so many contexts *g*

Also, your story is wonderful, you should have confidence.

Thank you again :D

Do you have snow yet?

And is it cold. I need to pack tomorrow.

PLEASE tell me there's no fret.

Still no snow :(

We had one very small flurry two days ago and that was it. But there's also no fret, just clear and cold right now.
