It's nearly Christmas!

*Does the excited dance*

This weekend was a rollercoaster of mixed emotions:

It rained.

After putting two trolley fulls of Christmas food through the check-out at Morrisons, the checkout till crashed and everything had to be put through again!

It raned some more.

I bid and won 'something rather nice' on Ebay over the weekend (No Pics, so it didn't actually happen).

It rained even harder.

One of the boy's friends got his car stuck in a flood, I had to go and 'rescue' them. Yay for raised suspension and AWD.

Mrs C ordered me something nice for the Cakemobile for Christmas.

It rained some more just for the hell of it.

I had to buy our 3rd Christmas tree of the season! 1st one was too big (got taken back), 2nd one was two small, 3rd one was just right (Sounds a bit like the Goldilocks and 3 bears story...). However, we've now got two trees up in the lounge! Much as I'd pretty much got Mrs C. to agree to decorating our house 'subtley' this year, she has, once again, gone completely over the top!

And I've just ordered myself something very, very, very, very nice (and extremely useful and practicle) from Australia.

Oh, and it's stopped raining and the sun is shining now...

How was everyone else's weekends?

:D

    Australia...Ay Up lightset by any chance?

    Weekend was work-tastic, two days off now, but been to the dentists for a filling today & have to pop into work to bank the cash in the safe so we can order more bikes for Xmas.

    Tomorrow is putting up the decorations/tree/lights day!

    Matt - YGM.

    I'm not saying anything about what i've orderd from Australia yet, however I will say that it's not an Ay-Up lightset. Similarly, I'm not saying anything about what I won on Ebay.

    Full details will be forthcoming when I have NEKKIDPIXORZ to prove that things actually exist!

    :D

    Morning all - I collected my XT groupset form the parcel place on Sat, it is all clean and shiny.

    I'm still tired from staying up watching the fight, it was like 6AM when I finally got to bed - Got up at 10 cos I couldn't sleep. I'm just in a daze today!

    Christmas is dead close now - I'm really looking forward to it this year, got all my stuff for the Mrs, and I might be receiving some bike related stuff in return! Lucky me!

    off to lunch now, then I'm going to check and update the Superhero thread, its quite a job you know!!
