Oh yes, Denise you have just reminded me I have to fit in buying our Turkey before the 25th ...lol!.

Hi all, glad to hear some of us feeling a bit better, I like CDV still feel awful [sick]

We did get out today, quick visit to the Trafford Centre which at 1130 am was fine but much busier when we left then hit Sainsburys for the last minute bits - DH had done most of it on Friday when I was in bed totally out of it!!

I even tried to stomach my skinny latte from Starbys but could not drink it[msneek] so far I can only manage a few dry crackers and fizzy water and have lost 8.5lbs!!![msneek][msneek][msneek]

Everything is done now though except DH has to put together a digital drum kit for YS[msnoo] see below[msneek] now how do you wrap on of these????



Happy Christmas everyone[cheers][cheers][cheers][cheers]

Sorry you're not feeling great Julie - amazing weight loss!

Have you got a red piece of material to cover the drums with and add a large Christmas bow? Alternatively you could make a sort of tent covering with cheap wrapping paper? We bought some wrapping paper for 16p for a couple of metres to cover the box, covering a 2nd box (not environmentally friendly, eh?) containing my daughter's guitar.

Thanks Denise, good idea I have a red table cloth which could do the trick[msnwink]

My son is into guitars too and currently has 4 in his room, plus a keyboard in another room so with the drums its going to look like a music shop!!

Well just back from Publix and finished the grocery shopping, although it's literally 5 minutes away it was a real effort but managed to get eveything in a oner so nothing to worry about on the food score now. (Just hoping I can taste it especially the chocolate lovers cake with Big strawberries I have just put into the fridge)![^]

It was absolutely glorious outside, in the high 70s but I am almost blind with congestion so I was like a Vampire shying away form the sun[8D]. Back indoors in the shade now and off to "dose up".

Hoping I will be upto my trip to MofM tomorrow!

Julie, if you pop into a friendly florist they will also make you a huge bow to attach to the tablecloth and then it'll looked wrapped, we did this with James for his pirate chocolate treasure chest last year with some trailing curly ribbon and sprinkly sparkly dust it looked great [clap]

Jacqueline, hope you begin to feel better soon so you can enjoy that cake[msntongue]

Thanks Marie, I'll pop a bit in the freezer for you

Still feeling absolutely dreadful but I have forced myself to get up and go out, Mr CDV aint very happy as he thinks I should be in bed (and of course he is right) but I have lost so much time recently and still have one or two wee things to do.

I am quite down in the dumps as I have been poorly since the 29th November between the op and one thing and another so all I want for Christmas (well maybe one or two more things) this year is to wake up tomorrow feeling a bit more lively
