I hope you all had some nice gifts. I bought a couple of gifts to give to myself (yes, I know - sad....). I wrapped them up too. So this morning I feigned surprise when what did I unwrap but two CD box sets - one of the Darling Buds of May and the other was a box set of Gavin and Stacey. I am not working again till Wednesday so will watch the Gavin and Stacey in the next day or two.

Did you get something nice for Xmas?

Bottles of whisky (2), DVD's (2), chocolates, yorkshire pudding tins (don't ask) and a KINDLE, just what I wanted, also a leather case to keep it in. Bought my son one too so waiting for him to download loads of books onto it now. Visitors gone now so just me and my dogs curled up on the couch watching tv, absolute bliss. To put the icing on the cake, my youngest son proposed to his partner today, hid the ring in a cracker and go down on one knee. So happy that I've raised such a romantic loving son, I've had such a lovely day today.cheering

I’m looking after my brother’s partner’s wee daughter over the holidays while they’re away tending to a family bereavement. She gave me a picture of her and her two siblings in a wooden frame that she made herself at school

Without a doubt, one of the most touching presents I’ve ever received

Nice one, TC.. Hope you all had a great dayyay
The only prezzies i got were from 'me' and i bought both of them about a week before Christmas. A new Toaster from Sainsbury's and a new Acer Keyboard for my Desktop (Some of the letters were almost 'invisible' on my old one laugh ) But it was a pleasant day.
I cooked myself a nice roast dinner (Chicken.. As i'm not a great fan of Turkey)
I'd also bought a couple of DVD's a few days early. The first Sherlock Holmes movie. With Robert Downey Jr as Holmes and Jude Law as Watson.
I'm very much still a Jeremy Brett fan, when it comes to Sherlock. But the movie stands up in it's own right (Director - Guy Richie) The other was a movie entitled 'Unknown' starring Liam Neeson.

peace cheers dancing tongue grin rolling on the floor laughing
