Ever had that midweek feeling?

Helloo - I have that middle of the week feeling at the moment, I had to sit through 2 1/2 hours of corporate nonsense this afternoon, I know I should be pleased our ompany is doing really well (bigger bonus after all!!) - but it was way above my head!!!! Even our q&a session at the end - I couldnt understand the questions never mind the answers................is it me????
Any hoo - the cold frosty mornings seem to have abated somewhat, I am a bit odd in that I love that sort of weather - we have been left with a sort of damp nothingness, which is a bit of a shame.
I have actually started Chrismas shopping - well impressed with myself - I was thinking I might start making some mince pies - problem is as quick as I make them, Jay likes to eat them - all for quality purposes I am assured, but it gets a bit tiresome after the 4th dozen!!!! and still none left for the big day!! I do make good mincey pies though - with a soft rich viennese topping rather than a pastry lid, makes a nice change.
I will be really strange in our house this year, it will only be three of us - instead of anything from 8 to 14 bodies!! I miss our big family Christmasses - but time moves on and I should be grateful for the many we shared together. Harvey Wallbangers wont taste the same without Libby cheering me on!!!! Think I may be able to manage a few sherries though............
Jay, Danielle and I will go to visit Mum, Amy, Zoe and baby and partners shortly before Christmas - and be back home on Christmas Eve. Then I think we will see Jay's Mum and Dad on Boxing Day with Emily, which will be fun.
Any way will leave you with those thoughts - happy shopping!!!!!! oh - and finding spaces in the car parks!!!!
