28th December

Ahhh Christmas Day has passed us by in a flash of the eye after weeks (in stores months) of preparation.
My family and I had a good one. I cooked for the family over at Mums instead of here ...which was a challenge to the patience at times to say the least.. (like I washed the prawns left them in the sieve to drain and they went missing... Mum had put them in the fridge... and if I was told once the roasties had to be crispy ("as that is how everyone likes them") I was told a 1000 times... and 'are they Maris Pipers as they make the best roast potatoes? What kind are they?" " They are organic local potatoes Mum".... "mm you should have let me buy Maris Pipers "... arghhhhh!!)

The meal was lovely the meat was succulent and thank goodness the roasties were crisp and tasty to perfection (2 years doing A'level cookery obviously paid off lol)

Father Christmas was very kind to us all, we were obviously on his 'nice' list... Teen got a Ninendo DSi plus a zillion other gifts and money. Teen (bless her) had arranged with Santa that I should have some extra nice treats .. she had saved some money she had got for passing her exams along with pocket money her grandparents had given her and she bought me ....

Some slippers from the Disney Store

The battle is on now for which slippers to wear... you see DP & LoTG saw these and thought of me whilst on holiday in Surfugal..... [thank you x]


Teen also got me Take That's Circus CD...


For the full version of a fabulous song click here

And the final pressie that she asked for me was a 'Zen Attitude' kit.
We had seen this on the Manchester Christmas market and I know just how much this cost her (oops Santa)...

It is all about relaxation and muscle soothing ... I am sure I have seen some of these over at Gimcrack... lol

Last but my no means least .. it is my Cuz CKX's Birthday today ... yes the cuz responsible for all the Advent fun over the last month..

Happy Birthday Cuz xxx

That three pronged one...I never knew wooden ones as opposed to plastic ones were more soothing.
