    Oh Star Gaze you never ask a person about men in their bathroom.

    (Just in case they'd had an embarrassing accident getting their toe stuck in the tap and the fire brigade had to be called!)

    I don't envy you going out shopping next week! I'm all for shutting the curtains and living off beans on toast until January 12th. I can't stand crowds - even when I was on crutches and could at least swot them when they got too close the idea of venturing into town just filled me with dread.

    I had a spare voucher for £5 off £30, at the GC checkout. The man behind me had a dozen amaryllis, and I gave him my spare voucher. He looked at me as if I was mad. Maybe I am.

    Not so good at the Post office. Out of time for "lost in post" so had to pay £7 for reissue of car tax disc. He works away a lot  but "not realising it hadn't arrived in the post "is not allowed apparently.

    Homemade mincemeat has gone down well. I gave a jar away and got a request back for the recipe. Its Staceys, except I used worcester apples instead of russets,accidentally doubled the sugar,and used damson gin instead of brandy,  but it still seemed to work ok.

  • Firemen are a different matter Clari, image they can be in my bathroom any time they like, well almost image

  • Well, the tree is dressed and sparkly and my Christmas present is hidden in the garage.

     

     I think it's what I asked for image it had to be collected from the GC - it's big and had to go in the boot of the car with the lid up.  I promised to keep my eyes shut, but as OH doesn't drive it was a bit hairy negotiating the ring road and A11 on the way home image
