The girls have all been home over the last week. Sara came over for Gemma's wedding and brought her friend Steph from her university days. John was forced to stay back for an interview...WHICH WAS SUCCESSFUL...well done John!!!
Selina and Pete arrived Sunday evening, just in time for our first chrismas dinner...hmmm... and Charlotte appeared Tuesday night.
We have shopped, eaten, played board games, visited New Life (and bought 2 winter coats and the daftest winter hat ever-all for £20) been to see the new Sherlock Holmes film, admired the bull in his best Christmas jumper (no camera) and just enjoyed each others company. Which I think is what Christmas is all about.
Poor Joe has been in a permenant haze with all these people coming and going, he even suffered a haircut in the midst of all the chaos. I think he looked very smart... until he licked out a yogurt pot and got a greasy face all over again.
So now it's Christmas Eve and we plan a trip to the butcher to claim our Turkey, and a wander round the Bullring, for nothing in particular, just to watch the crowds. Darsh wants to go to the supermarket for bargains, again nothing in particular, just anything that has a reduced sticker and he thinks is a bargain. I hope it is nothing too big and will fit into the bin easily on Boxing Day. I would like a bunch of flowers, some that are still alive, not like the ones in M&S yesterday, I think they must have caught a chill from been stood too close to the doors, they weren't even worth a reduced sticker. Pete is heading to his Mum's this evening and we, of course, are going to celebrate with our traditional roast duck sauce and jacket potatoes.
