**Woohoo !! It's Christmas Day **

[BRobson]

Me too, Mandy! At the weekend I found a stack of old photos of my children when they were small - I confess to having a little blub as I still really miss those days...

Started my wrapping this afternoon!

I always fill up when Lewis and Molly are in anything. We have our Christmas concerts next week which I am looking forward to as it is Lewis first one at big school I can easily get you a ticket Karen if you want to come up to Scotland

I don't envy you having to be in the cold Nat, but it will be so magical for the kids - they're going to love it.

I hope you'll do us a mini trippie

You're really lucky Nat - I don't do cold either but I think I'd like to go just once. The kids will love it and I'm sure you'll have a great time

I have so wanted to do this myself, Nat! Hope you have a fantastic time! I've missed the boat with my own kids so it's definitely on my 'to do' list when/if I ever become a Nana...

Nat please take loads of photos

and Mandy have a great time and come back here and tell us all about it.

I really feel so chrismassy now. My birthday is next tuesday and my first birthday event starts on Friday (as a disser we like to drag these things out don't we). To me my birthday really kicks Christmas off.

Have the day off work (even Mark has taken the afternoon off) Friday and will be in the pub all day with my friends.

Off to the Pancake house with more friends on Saturday.

Official birthday to the Indian with just Mark (and maybe Kirsty) tuesday and wednesday is the start of my work christmas dos.

can't wait.

so love this time of year.

We had a great time last night. It was the first time we'd been to the Coventry Stadium and at first it looked a bit bleak, but once we got up to the restaurant, it looked really nice, as all the tables were made up for Christmas. We had Garlicy Mushrooms to start, Traditional Turkey dinner and I had Christmas pudding for dessert.

My Crimbo hair cut

The Three of us before several bottles of wine

Finding other uses for the table centre piece (yes the wine was flowing by now)

Making use of some of the cracker prizes

We had such a laugh, especially as a lot of the dogs had very funny and dodgy names. I think I was down by a tenner and my mad mates broke about even

We will definitely have to go back
