Hi everyone, sounds like you are all very busy at the moment getting ready for Christmas. I helped secondborn complete her Christmas shopping last night at Merry Hell we both came home exhausted. Future son inlaw decided to share his germs so I have another cold, hope I get over it before the big day.
Hope everyone is OK. Have to dash off to see mum in a minute just time for a quick look round.
Off to bed for me folks. A bit later than usual, but got involved with tv.
Runny, I keep thinking about your sons leg, and hope it is soon much better. Obviously , it's going to take a lot of work, but best wishes for his recovery. Lilyp, I'm glad you're taking it a bit easier and love the stair arrangement. I'm not game to show my poor effort on our little tree. Catch you all in the morning.
Hi all I'm back Haven't been anywhere, but i see KEF was worried I was kidnapped
Am working from home today as I was out last night in the big smoke and was worried I might not feel too good today As it happens, was feeling fine, but I did get an extra hour in bed
Have most of my shopping done for Christmas Family have all been done, wrapped and are now with Ma and Pa on their delivery journey Still got a few bits to get for OH or his stocking will look a bit empty
It seems that the local schools have kicked out, ruining my peace and quiet
That is a lovely garland LilyP No tree up here yet All is still locked away in the cupboard!
Better get back to it I'll try not to be so absent again.
Younger son is on his work night out and needed collar turning, waistcoat buckling. Wonder why he doesn't leave home.
Bushman sorry you've not been too good but the rattling is a very good sign.
I've been ironing and hanging some curtains in big son's bedroom. That's after battling through the centre for last of the presents and Morrisons (where I'm going again tomorrow after forgetting my list). An evening watching rubbish on tv is called for.

Oops sorry gone sideways?
David Knyes agree, that takes the biscuit, or the precious space or something!

They look lovely B'man, and remind me of my late Mum . They were one of her specialities. Hope you're feeling a bit more chipper today
David - that's seriously taking the p***
LP - I love those 'bowers' on staircases. Beautiful
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Not done my tree yet either Panda. Doing something different this year though
Don't have much shopping to do - girls have money and a stocking so nice and easy
Taking daughter to work in a minute as it's chucking it down out there and I'm feeling charitable since it's the season of goodwill

Good to see you safe and well Panda
. Lovely to feel better than you think you will though
.
LilyP I'm glad to hear that you're not in so much pain - what a relief - but be very careful with what you feel you can do
.
Bushman your rocks look great but I suspect there are none left now
.
Duty calls, will be back

I know it's the season of goodwill - but I couldn't resist the natural Grass thread
Lesley - your list - didn't you check it twice?
