Christmas is finally over....

....we went into town to see the sales/take back presents noone wants.  Charlotte returned a couple of tops she had bought for me that were not my favourites and so I am replacing those with some better vests and blouses and getting rid of my old stuff.   My woolly waistcoat went back, Selina thought it looked better on the hanger than it did on me-one very good reason to send it back-and I did agree with her.  Charlotte bought herself a beautiful Biba bag, even though she got a beauty from Sara, but that was her office bag you understand, the gold Biba bag definately isn't!
     Selina and Pete have had to go back to Bristol to go to work in the morning, it is very quiet now even  though Charlotte is still here and Joe is most certainly sulking-guess who his favourite sister is.  Now Che has arrived with Charlotte, sulk over- guess who is Joe's favourite guest....
     Played the new game you gave us for Christmas Sara, it didn't result in murder, but I think Pete was pretty close to suicide with Dad on his team.  There were no instructions in the box, but we made it up as we went along.

     Heading up to Charlotte's for New Year and then I guess it's back home to take down the decorations and face the mountains of washing that has built up over the holidays.
