Well I have finished the Christmas Shopping and I'm all set for Christmas eve.
We had a nice homemade ream of chicken soup when we came in wth crusty bread. It was really warming after trudging through the cold snow streets. We have a large turkey and a brand new roasting try for the occassion. The wines in - it was going for 3 bottles for £10.
The tree is looking a treat with the lights and the presents.
This year my own best present will be if everything goes well and everyone enjoys the meal. I've tried to come up with a nice menu that everyone will love.
I'm now getting onto the internet by mobile broadband from our laptop for the past year or so and it's great. It will mean we can take a laptop anywhere we want and be reasonably sure of having access to our email and blogs or to use Google for searching for stuff and so on.
I know people who have mobile broadband who found that unfortunately there are still lots of places where the Mobile Boradband signal isn't as string as it might be. So hubby decided that when we ordered the mobile usb dongle we should also get a long range signal booster for Broadband dongles with a CRC9 USB Modem connector What a difference it's made, I know others haven't had the best signal round here bt i'm now getting a great signal.
Talking about signals I wonder if I put on my sexy underwear tonight if I'll get lucky with hubby? Silly question!!

January Sales
After a lovely Christmas at home with friends and family we finally decided to hit the January sales on Saturday. We don't normally make a big thing of the January Sales but this year the shops have been offering some really fantastic price reductions so it was difficult not to get caught up in the sales frenzy.
We have found that there were some great deals both on the high street and on the internet so we have managed to pick up some gifts for birthdays and so on ahead of time and saved ourselves quite a bit of cash I think.
Although all the news is still concentratiing on doom and gloom I generally am not finding that ordinary people are quite so pessimistic. Maybe everyone is just keeping a smile on their face and trying not to worry. Anyway here is to a happy and prosperous New Year.
