Evening ladies...loved all your news.....poor you Ann you were beginning to ramble a bit there, (I liked it though) 
that knee must really be giving you some gyp sadly.
I agree with your philosophy Ann, if you don't have it bought by xmas day then tough! There is always more than enough of everything else to make up for minor missing items.
Your jewellery sounds lovely Red. Well done you for treating yourself. Glad the cookie exchange went well and quite right you didn't offer to clean up.
Well it's a good job it isnt freezing here because we have no gas and not likely to have neither until after christmas! 
At 10am the cordless phone in the kitchen beeped like it does when the battery is flat so as I was checking it, the house alarm started going off so I thought we must have had a power surge. Turns out we now have no gas but at least we have got electric. My poor parents and sister had neither at midday and I've not rung to see if they have electric now as I didn't want to disturb them so late at night. I'll check in the morning.
Sounds as if we may not have gas for xmas day which is a bummer as I have gas hobs but thankfully I can use the microwave and steamer for the potatoes and veg and the oven is electric for the meat and roasties. Only thing I probably can't do is the soup, perhaps I should go and buy some melon quick for the starter.
I managed to get half the ironing done, use the treadmill and hoover out and wash my car. Had a tense moment come shower time because of the no gas, thought I was going to have to have a freezing cold shower - that was when we first realised it wasn't on, but it was ok as we have two showers operated on the boiler but the other two are electric. Phew!
Work was ok, a quiet clinic so we were finished almost an hour before we usually are.
I'm sure there are lots more things I would like to comment on but if you'll excuse me I need to go make a couple of cards before bedtime as I received two today that I wasn't expecting.
Talking of cards...Ann, thank you ever so much for yours, it arrived this morning. My first ever correspondence from New Zealand!
