    And the bright pink means I (shouldn't) mislay it. Funny that the pink one was the cheapest....

  • Bizarrely I would like a bigger kitchen pedal bin, OH refuses to buy me a rubbish bin for Xmas.... stalemate. I've got him a few T shirts with Smart Alec slogans on, I hope he sees the funny side. 😁

    I'm buying OH an online wine appreciation qualification course. Hoping to get some clothes I've put on a list for him. Oh and a long hottie with ties that I can tie around my waist if my back gets achy, or I can wear as a scarf in the cold (it has a nice fleecy cover). That's what I'm most excited about!

    I am giving £20 to charity via the National Lottery and I am hoping to be given millions of pounds in return.

    My wife is buying me half a dishwasher and I'm buying her half a dishwasher although it seems as though I'm paying for her half as well. :|  I asked Santa for something to stop my mother in law hugging and kissing me at Christmas and now I'm feeling guilty about the whole pandemic thing.  :#
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    OH! now we know who to blame. OH and I don't give each other presents but his dad and wife and mother and husband demand them so there's books, a frying pan, some makeup, and some kitchen knives going that way. Who knows what's coming back but we did give a list so hopefully a blueberry bush, some special chili pepper seeds from Finland, and a new computer mouse! I just received my first present a 250dkk (£30) voucher for a garden center.. woop I can buy something totally pointless and not feel bad!
  • Friendship.  Loyalty and sincere love.  These are things, money can't buy.  They are priceless and everlasting.

    I offer my very best wishes to all on GW.  Stay Safe.  GOD Bless.

    Hubby is getting some new ASL shoes for the summer and I'm hoping for some earings that wont turn my earlobes green and some Backdoor shoes. Firstborn is getting a Jo Malone voucher and Secondborn a hair dryer.  The grandchildren are just getting thoroughly spoiled :)

    I made a book for one grandson, beanie hat for t'other, wristwarmers for daughter's partner and hampers for everyone filled with homemade goodies.

    Crossing my fingers for a hori hori knife from my brother which I hope leaves his hands before he looks at his Yule Log!
