Finished work Saturday picked up dragon bracelet what had been altered they have done a perfect job and worth the £20 alteration fee they charged.

my wife took our son into town and bought him some Adidas track suit bottoms Reebok tops and other various t-shirts and hoodies all at bargin prices from the various sport outlets in Leeds.

Hopefully all what is left to do regarding Christmas is to finish off writing the cards and wrapping a few presents up.

Do the food and beer run which hopefully will be this Saturday at Asda which no doubt will be manic, at least its only once a year .

We normally buy different Indian curries side dishes and starters nan breads for our Christmas day dinner we have done this for at least the last ten Years the kids have usually eaten too much chocolate or are not that fussed for a massive some beers have been consumed naturally so we are ready for something spicy

we can put it in the oven and within 30 miniutess its ready to eat no one is wasting Christmas day having to spend it in the kitchen slaving over a hot stove.
Then on boxing day we have Christmas day lunch usually a turkey crown with roasted parsnips done in honey and roast potatoes mash potatoes plus sweet potatoe and Swede little sausages with bacon chestnut stuffing and Yorkshire puddings with cranberry sauce and gravy .

the dogs cat get a fair share of the turkey and are quite happy eating it for a few days after .

my twin Sister is coming boxing day and will be the firstChristmass since our mother died which we will have without here she said for the last 20 years at every chritmas dinner this year will be my last chritmas she was right when she said it last year it was a standing joke and she was 87 when she passed away i don't think she had any doubts her time was neighh so hopefully there wont be too many tears and hopefully she will be enjoying Christmass with people gone on before her fingers crossed we will all meet up in the end ..........
