So Broni, does that mean you haven't got mine yet???

#2 boy wants a Digital Camera too, to take on Holidays to Sydney with him.
he was told to buy it himself one ..

I have recovered from being squished...trying to pluck up the courage to go out into the heat again....cya all later.

Sounds like we will -not have the full compliment at Chrissy lunch this year. Not sure about son and partner, they may be at hers this year, and D#1 has already said she may not be with us. Hubby has said he doesn't really want the usual fare at lunch...
WHY EVEN BOTHER!

My kids put in a request for a wii. They are actually going to get it. Uncle (my brother) is buying for them but that is all they are getting for chanukah or their birthdays. It will end up costing me more buying all the extras that go with it.

My car is in being serviced today. It is well overdue and I probably would have kept putting it off, if it weren't for the fact my brakes failed this week!
Made it a hairy ride out to the airport, didn't it Rena and Amber!!!

Mooooooooo Bean hehe!
Well from your previous comments looks like I'm gettin nuffin from you either Dag.
Hi Rola, are you signing tonight???

hehe Gail.. twas like that last year when the C lunch twas at BIL's, why bother with the C Decorations !!!

Duh! singing!!!! suppose you could sign while you sing hehe!

Hello Bean! My kids enjoyed finishing off the cheesecake - want to know when the next bake-off will be!

Signing in tonight????

Gee's Gail...it isn't as if you live in a hilly part of town...why would you rush in and get them fixed....bloody hell!!!!!!

Oh yeah, I spose you're right Dag!

haha....oh Judy....my MIL liked it as well....
Next time I might try something different...will check with you first.

Singing.. hehe.. did that on Tuesday when Mum was here.. got some yummy Dutch treats to eat !!!

When the boys were little, they would put out their shoe for St Nicolas and sing Sinterklass songs ..

d1 has asked for a digital camera too! Must be the next 'thing' to have - after the phone I mean.

Twins next door are getting a Wii - each.

Gail, breaks failing!! Scary stuff!!

Bricks work fine as chocks!!! Though it is awkward running out to remove them on the freeway!

Looks like I will have an empty nest this year, BIL is going to Tassie for Chrissy and not sure about my cousin as her daughter is back on the scene again...but that is another story

Snort! Brakes, duh!

are you calling ME a DAG now Miss Cockatoo? [or were you talking to Broni...]

The best thing about it is, it's a manufacturer's fault so I don't have to pay for it.
Apparently, the brake lines were leaking!

Good night all. It is past my bedtime. See you all this weekend.

I can't spell anymore!

Broni - come down here. My place will be crowded again so you're welcome to join us!

Night Tami!

It's hard to see a good side to brakes not working on the freeway Gail - even if it is not paying for it. Hang on though, remembering my $685 bill.... I'm wrong, it is good news!

Oh gosh no, Bean, never! That comment was about the fact that dags don't buy pressies for each other!

Night Tami

Could just see you out on the freeway Gail, mental picture eeek!

Thank goodness for that! Imagine the list if we started buying for everyone on here??

Hey Broni, Bella could come too. At 31kg she'd be more than a match for our mutts!

Told Lachie that what I wanted this year was NOT to have to cook or go anywhere [for once]...sit down with a bottle of fizz and eat what ever is in the fridge...he started talking about maybe cooking a BBQ for me... sounds good.... For the lat 30 odd years Christmas has meant so much traveling with my far flung family...I just want to be at home for a change.

OK outa here and back to work.
A Daggy Bean mmmmmm???
Nite Tami.

I don't believe in travelling on Chrissy Day.
Maybe that is why we live on tother side of town from any family!!!

We will see....
Now I had better get back to the buttons and get out of here...

Bean, our tradition in the States was to celebrate on c eve with extended family and then have a quiet day at home with just us on c day. Then FIL was added to c day as no one else wanted to have him, but it was still quiet. Now Mum comes to stay so everyone and his dog (hint hint Broni) drops in and out all day long. It gets quiet about dinner time when they're all off celebrating with other family. BUT, we have never had more than FIL or MIL for our c day meal. Snacks and goodies, yes, meal, no.

Well my fricka fracken alarm has gone off reminding me that I have 'sponsibilities. Maybe later dudes.....

I must head out the door too.
Time to pick up youngest from school and car from shop!
Bye.

I love being at home for Christmas, even if it means a lot of work. For years we had to travel to my parents' place in the country - it was never fun, and the the kids hated having to "behave" all the time, not make a mess, and not have any of their stuff around. Lately we've gone for an "all-day" dinner, with dessert at tea-time. It seems to work pretty well - same amount of food, just spread over a longer time. Plus more relaxing between courses - it works for me! ;)

Collies are happily eating.... it's a bit chilly in the garage where I feed them (almost all eat in their own crates)... 23F right now... but they don't care. They always get a warm meal.

Sounds like a lot of work, Heidi!
