Awwww Maddie, thats a superb pressie! I guess you'll be quiet for a while getting that lot burned onto CD now lol

I feel awful. I knew my mum had knitted me a jumper (black aran, not too bad lol) and put a toy in for the cat, but.......when I phoned her last night I had only just got in, and just unwrapped it and got the cat playing with his toy, but hadn't actually taken the jumper out of the bag to look at it. I told her I had and that it was lovely.

But..........when I took it out this morning, another box fell out, and inside was a silver chain braclet, with a silver heart pendant, set with diamond and sapphire, and on the back is inscribed, Daughter, I was never so blessed as the day you were born. It's beautiful and made me cry.

I'm going to have to ring her this evening and apologise.

Aww hope she feels better soon Kitty. Ive got the cough this morning and my own central heating system on overdrive! LOL.

I only got up to give OH a chance to get some sleep as I fear I kept him up most of the night (and not in a christmassy way!).

We are also having an open house today so am trying to tidy what I can as I suspect I may well take to my bed again later and he will have to host on his own :(

She is coughing for England this morning, so I am going to the duty chemist later to get some medicine.

Hope you feel better soon.

My best pressie was the illustrated Lord of the Rings book, i already have 2 copies of the book but this one was illustrated by Alan Lee and the geek in me wanted it really bad but couldnt justify paying £50 on a book for myself.

My Dad (aged 97) being well enough to leave the nursing home and come to us for a few hours.

A few weeks ago we had been told to "expect the worst". I can't describe how happy it made us to be able to sit round the table with him again.
