The Wind Down

I'm having a nice relaxing morning chilling out to an old film favourite 'Bugsy Malone'. Later I will be going to Barbara's for the traditional Boxing Day get together with Leanne, Jane and Derek.

Yesterday was a very good day, albeit a long one - I got lots of fantastic presents - a stuffed christmas stocking from my secret santa containing all sorts of scrapbooking goodies plus chocolate, jewellery, socks and loads of other little bits and pieces, an i-dog (so cute!) from Mrs H3, a dual phone from Jo and Paul, gift voucher from Andrea, Nigel and Aiden, chocolates, an angel, wine and relaxing kit from Lynne and Mark, bath kits from Richard and Annette, jewellery from Chris, Phil and the boys, jigsaws from Kate and Paul, chocolates from Lesley, Richard and the kids and Anna, an angel and magnet from KJ, some Zatarain's rice from Sharona and a CD and some more chocolate from Andrew.

Spent half an hour in the pub, just long enough to say merry christmas to everyone before joining Chris, Phil, Aaron and Perry for christmas lunch at The Malta. The meal was very nice, plenty of food but not too much so I felt pleasantly full rather than stuffed - still felt drowsy though of course *LOL*

Then it was back to Chris' where we were joined by Andrea, Kate and Paul (and later Nigel) for an evening of fun and games. Perry was very taken with a game called 'No-Brainer' whilst the rest of us had a game of 'Cranium' (which Andrea, Aaron and I won!), followed by 'Frustration'. The evening was rounded off by a visit from Andrew and we just chilled for a couple of hours, a nice relaxing end to the day.

Christmas has gone as quickly as it arrived!
