Ready for Christmas Yet?.................

Well, my dear Bloggeroos, I don't know about you, but I've been sooooooo busy........and not just with Christmas!

We had one of our usual family parties, Disco, Buffet, Karaoke last weekend. It was my brother's birthday - what a great evening we had!

My youngest son and his family were here for the Party and stayed at Dollytub Cottage for the weekend too.

I notice that eldest son had put on his facebook yesterday

"Only one more sleep 'til the end of term!"

We know that, Ali - but get a grip -You're the TEACHER!

So grandchildren have been babysat, played with and cuddled.

Mince Pies have been baked.

(I'm not here for Christmas, but chances are my neighbour will soon be over to borrow some - she borrows everything else from my pantry!)
