Hi thanks for your message... I think the dark weather is getting me down... thinking back this time of year is always most depressing ... not quite sure why as it's also kind of inspiring at the same time... also that nasty "speed" probably had something to do with it so I'm taking no more...
I'm off now to clean out my hamsters!!
Take care!!

Glad to hear no more speed for you Gleds.
I had a spam comment; it went on for pages and pages! Love this award it's so cute <:o@@ (that's supposed to be Santa with his hat and beard) Thanks!
The FOUR meme was interesting...I'd like to be somewhere hot and sunny too (except at Christmas)
Rx
new series of Spooks just coming up i believe!
:o)
Oh that award is so cute. Congratulations.
And I love your listy meme.
I might nick it some time. :D
congrats on another award! i had a bit of sun here...so much so that my forehead and nose are peeling...ugh! but no beach tho lol
so you like it sunny and hot huh? lol.
I so agree with your choice of movies to watch over and over....
Bridget Jones is a fantastic movie.
I have the 2nd book "The Voice of Reason"... it's not as good as the first as she falls into this stupid "Bangcock Hilton" storyline at the end which is utterly ridiculous and so unrealistically resolved. (Once you go in that Bangcock Hilton you don't come out.)
The award looks very nice on your page - I knew it would! Best wishes for many more Christmas pressies to come!
I just love Bridget Jones tremendously, she's the kind of gal I would love to be friends and hang out with. And Mark was just lovely, too - my kind of guy!
Congrats! :)
That is a beautiful award. I'm so ready for some cool weather.
School Technician means? ehm...interesting jobs you had! but now you are a teacher right? oh don't tell me School Technician is teacher! LOL :)
p.s. bridget jones is one of my absolutely all time faves...and you KNOW i have a thing for colin firth lol i felt a lot like bridget most days...except her career is a little more stable lol and when mark darcy tells her that he likes her just the way she is...ooooo *swoon* lol
thank you so much for that AK. Am quite overwhelmed. And I love teh meme too!
Rule in our house: You can't talk about Christmas until after Thanksgiving! The stores around here are already advertising and selling Christmas stuff-jeez!
Well done on another award! Loved your meme and agree about the films and the food!!
Hey I have finally figured out how to put my portrait online!! hahahahahAAARGH!!! ;->...
You're welcome Ruth. I have only ever been away once at Christmas - it was a special occasion and I'll do a post about it on the trip's anniversary. ;)
Yep I think Spooks starts this week Lettie - can't wait!
Thanks Jo and I look forward to reading the meme when you do it.
You didn't use your sunscreen did you Ciara?
Oh I'm definitely a sun worshipper Catch, glad you agree with the films! :)
I saw Bridget Jones the Edge of Reason and it wasn't nearly as good as the first film Gleds.
I think Bridget Jones would make a great friend too Linda, but then I think you would too! x
No, no, Crazy Working Mom I don't like it cool, I like it HOT, HOT, HOT!
Sorry to disappoint you Elween I am not a teacher I am a school administrator, and a school technician is the person who does all the running about for the teachers!
Ciara behave, you're getting all hot and bothered woman!
You're very welcome Flowerpot.
Yep all the Christmas stuff is in the shops here too Buffalodickdy!
Thanks CG seems we like the same things! :)
That's one of your hamsters Gleds - isn't it?
So sorry that I'm so late. Thanks so much for the very cool award! And I love your meme. I think sunny and hot is definitely the way to go!
