Well it's good to be back...though I'm still not up to scratch after my illness last week. I'm putting it down to the side effects of my tablets as the effects seem to be lasting alot longer than the usual hangover....not that I get them very often! Seems they are responsible for the constant ringing in my ears too...which is nice to know as I thought I was just getting an allergic reaction to loud music!!! Give up the tablets??? I'm afraid that isn't possible as if I don't have them I become a walking timebomb!!!

So what's been happening over the last two weeks?

I finally relinquished to Xmas and did my shopping and got carried away as per usual...I think that's my main gripe about the festive season...I can't kerb my spending!!! I just LOVE shopping....and it's even more enjoyable when it's for other people...sort of like an expensive guessing game!!!

So one empty bank account later...I have mixed feelings of satisfaction and guilt. I do have the wrapping and card writing to look forward to though...yipee!!!

The boys are well..although I discovered that they do not approve of frost and Hoki is a bit of a dare devil...shimmying down the toilet wall (first floor) front feet first and takiing a leap of faith to the shed roof!!! Nutter!!! Sushi can't jump to save his life and in fact has turned into a bit of grass...as he meows in panic if hoki leaves by any opening apart from the door!!!

I think he's just jealous...
