    Himself got me some gifts in the airport when he was coming to visit. A pack of 5 travel sized YSL perfumes, and an Urban Decay liquid lipstick. I wore one of the perfumes today and I really like it, I’ve been smelling so good! The liquid lipstick is unreal too, and glittery pink so very pretty :D

    Yes, the glory days are back! It's Christmas - feck off, it is! - that means the elves are going about checking and that means the páistí and falling over each other to be the first in bed.

    Brilliant fun tonight, and I stood there at the window showing them the moon and pretending to see the shadow of the elves in the moon as they were leaving Santaland to come down to check all the little children in Ireland are asleep. They ran into their rooms and pretended to be asleep and within 10 minutes were actually asleep. Let's keep this Christmas stuff going all year round.

    Some of the shop folk here in deep rural Ireland are legends.. I went to my usual coal merchants on the way home and it was not the usual man on duty... I always get a 20 kg bag of 2s... So i told him "sapphire" and he went off and in due course came back hefting the sack and dumped it in the back of the car... I stared; "That is a big bag? I have the one at E8" ( never a bother before as they all know me)
    So the man gazed at the 40 k bag deep in the depths of the car... You could see him thinking how hard to drag it out... "Ah well, you can have that for the E8!"

    Christmas? or just as my neighbour opined, too lazy to get it out.... |So free coal.... YAY! Makes me very happy in the cold today

    Yes; I burn mostly island turf but put coal on as I go to bed early. Last 20 kg bag lasted nearly three weeks. I was very worried at the weight as they have to get it in and out of the small ferry.. but hey! These men just lift it as if it were feathers... so maybe no more needed before Christmas,,, would love logs...

    Well done Cleo, fair play for having the motivation. You should reward yourself with a few extra treats over Christmas!

    Aww thank you very much Susie. I've actually just lost interest in food so I eat my breakfast, lunch and dinner and the weight just comes off. Best diet I've ever done :D Think I might treat myself to a Christmas outfit :)

    I never knew for some bizarre reason that there was an Omen 2 and Omen 3. Only realised it when a scene from Omen 2 was referenced in the elevator that fell recently in the states injuring a number of people.

    Anyway, bottom line is at least 1 Trilogy sorted for the Christmas Period. :)

    Was at a storytime session for 4 -5 year olds in the library with grandchild. The kids are asked if they want to sing and they tend to sing Nursery rhymes or simple songs
    One small lad never has the courage to get up and sing , no problem he doesn't have to . Today he plucked up the courage and we all held our breathe to see which nursery rhyme he would sing
    Small boy stood up and in a loud voice belted out George Ezras Shotgun !!
    Brilliant !!

    Here's a real trivial thing that makes me happy - no more time disagreements with people.
    Doesn't happen anymore we all have atomic clock accuracy on our mobiles.
    Used to get on my nerves years ago when you would be on a tennis court (or wherever that you book by the hour) and some captain clusso c*nt would come along and say according to his watch it's the hour, meanwhile it would really be 5 to but who is right ?

    Q lots of time wasting with petty arguments about the time, now ... just doesn't happen, look at your phone ... bang on to the milliseconds our phones have the same time !! Thank you techmology!!

    In my class today we were chatting and talking about different things, and the topic of dissertations came up. Our lecturer told us what he did his on, and then that he wrote a book on the same subject. But it gave me an idea of what to do for mine when I get that far. Really happy about that because it was stressing me out :D
