    Not done any Christmas shopping yet. Today I have written out Christmas Menus. More for the shopping list so I can get meat ordered and dry goods purchased steadily, also can freeze stuff and use  a tick list to show i've done it. IT's a habit from when I used to feed 18-20 folk on Christmas day, saves a lot of stress with the food.

    Rain stopped mid afternoon but forecast more and worse tomorrow, where will it all go? garden is just a squelch. hope it clears by Saturday as have to collect caravan and towing in 'weather' is not fun.

    Just given my son instructions on possible things for baby stocking. They didn't realise that things 'For babys first Christmas' are available. and I suggested bubbles as well. I will instruct him into ways of having fun with their baby.

    Evening all. 

    Glad you're holding up in all that weather there Inka.  My Christmas shopping is pretty non existent too - did buy my cards in the sale last year and have even managed to find them image

    Hi Inka, glad you're ok. Sounds as if been rather a lot of rain though?

    The forecast for tomorrow over here isnt good- strong winds & heavy rain again. There's already flooding in places. This is when am glad live partway up a hill.

    Despite the awful forecast, am off to the continental Christmas markets tomorrow! Daughter's day off & she always wants to go. Will wear stout, waterproof shoes & wrap up well!

    I carry a wind-up torch in my car. Never actually needed it, but you never know. Never have to worry about flat batteries! J.

  • B'j! Caz! Last minute .com here too! 

    Been reducing a chilli this last hour! But now thickening nicely! 

    N now had a little slurp! it is bang on!

    We have wind up torches in caravan and in loft. I have a wind up/solar radio in my greenhouse. Wouldn't be without them especially my radio.We bought the radio and one torch after we were in a storm in Scotland, the battery in caravan went and we had no  weather forecast.

    Must go Master chef.

    I have a windup radio, too--it's my lifeline when the power is out, since I no longer have a laptop--just a 27 inch Monster Mac desktop. I love it.

    Jess just dropped off. Heaven. Could do with an early night myself. image

    But... I can't go to bed without watching a film, so tonight it is Jaws 2!! image

    I'd never manage to stay awake to watch a film late night!

    Enjoyed Masterchef. Nice to see constructive critism.

    Like the idea of a wind-up radio for the garden shed. I do have a small trannie that I use, but it's a real pain if you take a bit too long to change the batteries- it looses all the station settings.image

    Signing off now, daughter shouldnt be too late tonight. Looks as if going to be a wet day at the markets tomorrow. image J.

    I don't think a lap top would last on a battery for that long, without power any way Inka.

    Dean i don't really think its last minute - well not yet any way. I have finally begun to think about what to get though. I always set a budget and go over, usually for my daughter. She is just so easy to buy for.

    Wish i had a choice of film, Becks, sod all on TV tonight
