I feel like curry tonight!
The best sorts of birthday parties involve curry, in my opinion, and we’re going out for a friend’s birthday meal tonight at a great Indian just near our old house. In fact I often used to hang washing outside where we used to live, while sniffing the aroma of indian dishes wafting across the road from that restaurant, yum 
Today Anna’s had Stage by Stage, which despite moaning about having to get up for, she enjoyed as usual. We’ve mooched around at home mainly doing low key but nice things together, colouring (and a bit of writing practice for Abbie), playing, music practice with accompaniments from me, Joe and Anna played with Mollie while Abbie had a sleep, the girls had piano lessons, and that’s about it, really. Oh, and we’ve started a Christmas shopping/making/giving list, too, which was fun – but still has too many blank ‘uninspired’ spaces on it for my liking!

Is this the time to say I’ve just finished my Christmas shopping?

It’s NEVER the time to say that!

Yep, we did a few last year too, but getting a goat two years on the trot would be a bit much, so we need a bit of variety!

If I can’t think of something I know someone’ll really want and I want to give it, then I do oxfamunwrapped style. This year Sim’s siblings are sharing a loo and his parents a goat. They’re loaded and don’t really want anything but our company so I can’t see the point in buying anything surplus to wants.

I’d like to do that to the look on some people I know!!
Reluctantly I have just drawn up more Christmas file. I orgo plan Christmas
I had planned to cancel it this year but it didn’t go down well! I don’t want anything but I bet that I still get bought!

Yes, we bought some school dinners this year for rellies. Oxfam Unwrapped is a great idea.
