Great to see you, Rary.You've been missed.

I've been out running some errands for my brother in law and then sorting some paperwork for him. I also called at the chemists as I'd had a text to say our prescriptions were ready.

Two of my Christmas puddings are now wrapped and boxed ready for their trip to Australia. It is expensive to send them, as I'd missed the last posting date for overland parcels by a big margin, so they're going airmail... estimated arrival 6 to 7 days. However, when I compare it to the price of a first class U.K. stamp it's probably the bargain of the year, particularly when it weighs nearly a kilo. I did save nearly £6 by buying my postage online. I printed my own postage and custom label too. Ready for sending tomorrow now. I'll either drop them at the local post office or in a parcel post box.

Afternoon, it’s dark windy and wet not a nice day at all.
rary, great to see you and glad you are well.
Went shopping today trying to get inspiration for Christmas gifts for my daughter and granddaughter and came home empty handed! I have no idea!
Enjoy the rest of your day folks, hope you are having better weather than us. x

Good evening all,. It was a lovely dry sunny day here. Just back from a visit to see Joan...She was a little more settled.

Rary, its lovely to see you back and know you were not absent due to ill health.

Jay, I know the feeling re gift shopping...I'm dreading it.
Shopping for the little one is easy, it's the teens and twenties that's harder...They just want gift vouchers but I want to have something wrapped under the tree. I also have a daughter in law birthday in middle of December...
I am sure it will all fall into place in the end.

GF, you sound so efficient and super organised..I could do with someone like you around.

Have a good evening all.
