I'm thrilled to have been included in East Anglian Troy's Special Gang of Eight, and to have been given this wonderful badge. Isn't it great? I'm slowly working through the Christmas list (painfully slowly) and forced myself to walk the length and breadth of the town today buying various bits for S, R and J. It never occurred to me to think about the weight of these items when I chose them, and by the time I'd paid for them, and lugged (is that actually a word?) them back passed hoards of other irritable shoppers, I thought my elbows were going to break. At least I can now cross a few presents off my list.
I'm still working on HH&S and think that I may be doing so for the next twenty years at this rate. I also haven't managed to write my Christmas cards either, and bearing in mind that some have to go to South Africa, I'd better get a flippin move on. So I absolutely must do them this weekend, without fail - groan! Happy shopping/card writing all of you.

I'm so pleased that you are pleased to be part of The Gang. I'm well chuffed to see the badge so promptly displayed.
Oh, and don't panic - still two weeks until Christmas - but you'd better get those RSA cards posted out smartish, or you'll be having to send electronic ones.
Debs, I've not bought any cards yet! I've lost 10days what with being iced-in at top of our hill and then getting bronchitis.
Aaaargh, will have to get down to it soon.
Love the badge!
Oh dear... it's meant to be fun, isn't it? So many jobs so little time.
No cards here either. Or shopping. Not much writing either:-)
nice badge:-)
I am slightly ashamed to admit that when I saw Troy had made a special award, I stopped reading your post and clicked over to his blog to see if I was included! Sad, sad, saddo that I am...
Anyway good luck with the Christmas card writing and with your editing. I desperatly need to get writing in my books again, I have such bad block at the moment...too much going on. xo
east anglian troy - I love the badge, thanks so much, and am intending writing cards today (intending, being the operative word)!
pat posner - sorry to hear you've been ill, I hope you feel much better soon. There's always so much to do at this time of year too.
jj - I know, and its a horrendously busy time at work too, so my brain is having a hard time trying to remember everything.
lane - lol, you sound just like me :) I seem to have so much still to do.
Thanks, I love it.
dj kirkby - the badge is lovely isn't it?
I think it's hard to settle and write when our minds are so busy with so many other necessities.
Oh dear - I haven't even started anything Christmassy yet. Here comes the guilt ...
I'm way behind Debs so you're ahead of me - good luck!
I still have a few presents to buy, too. I do have all my cards done, so that's one thing to cross of the list!
helenmh - there seems to be so much to do every year, I never manage to get as organized as I'd like.
flowerpot - good luck to you too.x
melissa marsh - presents, not finished; cards, almost (thankfully, as I hate doing them).
I am so with you on the card writing lark. I would willingly pay someone to do it for me.
And yes, 'lugged' is a word. At least, I hope it is. I use it all the time.
shirley wells - every year I keep saying that I'm not sending cards, then I receive some, and feel that I have to.
Oh good, thanks.
Christmas Cards. Oh my god, have not done mine yet and hadnt even realised. Thanks Debs!
Will get cards and do them this weekend too. Will think of you while I do so!
Im feeling quite smug now as i am all set for xmas!! It does feel good when its all done. :)
LWM - happy card writing :) I hate doing them.
casdok - Well done you. After today, I'm pretty much getting there too, and it's such a relief.
I too felt very honoured to be part of the gang of 8!! It's a lovely award and I'm very proud to be included with such lovely bloggers :-)
Hope the card writing and present shopping wasn't too painful!!

carol - it is a lovely award, I was thrilled.
It wasn't that bad, and I think I'm finished with all the card writing and shopping now, at least I hope so!
