Can't go to the xmas markets then come back to an unfestive house!

Well don't go to the Christmas markets yet then?!

It's the only time our group can get together before Christmas.

I'm not sure why I'm sat here justifying this actually!

OK - I've bought a Christmas themed tub of Quality Street. Happy now?

Christmas tree and lights up in the Conservatory whilst Bobo was still mowing his lawn.

Christmas tree and lights up in the front when I got back from work yesterday...

Christmas markets on agenda for tomorrow @ 17:00.

Just the outside lights to go now....

And just had a mince pie.

I suppose we are somewhat more South than you, to be fair.


... & I was in that Manchester today, had lunch in Australasia (the restaurant, not the continent) and then wandered up to Albert Square past a large number of foreigners selling strange food at high prices.

It was a pleasant way to spend an hour though.

Oooh, I'm quite getting into the spirit of it now, Worthy. In the spirit of giving I've bought an exterior lighting display for your next door neighbour.

[Worthy4England]

That's very generous of you Brucie - all them lights. Missus'll never let me spell Tw@t with ours though!

[Gooner Girl]

I had a few mince pies today too. Starting to feel festive!

glad you're feeling festive!

[Prufrock]

Is it still bonfire night?

[Dujon]

I don't think so, Pru, as I can't find any parkin around the house.

My seven year old car in for service and MOT. Rang up to check it out and it's passed MOT with flying colours and (wtf) full 10,000 mile service only cost me £160...

[Lost Leopard Spot]

Oh. Not so happy the £160 was before labour and VAT...

^ made the same mistake when i looked at MY car service bill the other day... I was just looking at page one - and thinking - blimey - that's reasonable!

Ha ! Yep .... I can get that VAT is out of their hands, but not labour, but they bill it as if it was an afterthought.

Cunning beggars, these Chinese.

Looking at the above posts I was becoming somewhat gloomy. I too have had questionable invoices from car services. However that gloom was lifted yesterday, courtesy of our motor bike riding postlady.

Late last week I ordered a couple of CD sets of Tommy Emmanuel at work. The first of those was the little package delivered by our aforementioned motor bike riding postlady. The other set will be a little while in arriving as it is apparently a 'special' order. So for a few hours I allowed myself to relax and listen, uninterrupted and with a brandy at hand, to 45 tracks of a very well produced selection of a guitar master's recordings. It turned out to be better than I had expected.

Ee 'eck, I'm ever so pleased.

Skived off harriers committee and finished my reports this evening. How anyone could ever name a child 'Song Water Lily' is beyond me....
