Dear All
I’m off now for a few days. After the recent sicknesses that have swept through the Driver household I am looking forward to overindulging kicking back and relaxing with my family and friends.
I finish work at lunchtime. I had to walk to work due to six inches of snow. As I was leaving this morning the husband handed me a rucksack and told me to get the last minute things we need for tomorrow in case we can’t get out again later. The list includes potatoes. On my way home I have to drop into Teacher Friend Mother of 3′s to pick up some last minute presents. She is worried that she might find me in the snow on my back like a beetle weighted down by the potatoes.
We shall be having not so traditional duck on Christmas day and I’ve decided that Gin & Tonic is my festive tipple this year. The husband reckons it’s an old ladies drink. I drink it like an old lady so I won’t be falling over in the snow again in a hurry. Well, maybe not.
I’d just like to thank each and every one of you for reading and coming along on the Driver journey this year. I’ve had a blast and I hope you have too.
See you in 2010 for more belly laughs.
Love and cold sprouts

PS - If you don’t like the orange or strawberry cremes in Quality Street send them my way, I love them.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas! I like the strawberry creams too. And the cold sprouts – you can’t beat bubble and squeak!
Have a wondrous festive season – can’t wait for the Disney Reunion in 2010! xx
Hi Laura,
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas over-indulging, I mean making sure everyone eats, drinks and is merry.

And a big Merry Christmas to you too. I can’t imagine snow on Christmas, having grown up Down Under. Must be rather lov-e-ly! It is Christmas Day here in Sydney now, and even though we are wearing t-shirts and the aircon is on, it is a very overcast day here. So at least it kind of *looks* like the UK.
Looking forward to reading your blog in 2010!
Ooh, people who like the slimes! Fabulous – I’ll swap them for toffee, nuts or any hard centres.
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Laura.
I’ll trade you strawberry n orange ones for any coffee chocs. Will also exchange for cold sprouts! I loooooove sprouts as do all 3 kids. Have a fab festive season n look forward to reading your blog in 2010. Xx
I love the strawberry cremes so hands off. Merry Christmas to you too!
G&T is perfectly respectable – it’s snowballs (anything with Advocaat) that whiffs of old lady.
Have a great Christmas!
Merry even…..

Merry Christmas Laura – I have only just found your blog (cant remember how) but I will definitely be back in 2010. Cheers!!
I look forward to seeing you in 2010!
Will take the love but pass on the cold sprouts – they’re bad enough when hot. Duck sounds like a great change for Christmas. I may have to pop round to try some.
Have a great few days. x
And you … I’m looking forward to the duck, will make a change from the usual turkey
Merry Christmas to you and yours too. Oh and we used to find the orange and strawberry ones left in the tin at August, but the minimads like them so all is now in balance in TheMadHouse
What a nightmare, I’ll have to fight my husband for them – he likes them too!
On boxing day I’ll happily throw over all the orange and strawberry creams. Happy xmas to you and yours x
I’ll be waiting to catch them!
