Tony and Stevie came up today for our Christmas Day [a day late] together. Yesterday they spent with her parents, and today is my turn. We had to do another Christmas meal, but luckily Mandi did most of it - I'm just about whacked. I get really angry that ordinary things exhaust me and it's not fair on everyone else around. I do get frustrated but I'm fine when I'm sitting down, but when I get up - things really change for me. Now when I'm knackered, my brain goes into meltdown too and I have big problems trying to say ordinary things. Still that's me and I can't change it?

So anyway Stevie chose a gorgeous Champney's spa holdall - and I'll be smelling all purdy and such now. Tony gave me loads of video games to keep me occupied...

While we were waiting for them to come up, Mandi took some pictures of Boo and had a deep, meaningful conversation with her................

Then when Tony showed up - he kept in the seasonal spirit by wearing his Crimbo t-shirt...............

Mandi showed both Tony and Stevie her pictures of her stay in Turkey

and later Dogan skyped and the new brothers were able to see and talk to each other at last. I can see trouble brewing when those two lads meet up - they are both game for a laugh and love teasing. It's bad enough with Tony, but with Dogan as well - heaven help us.............

I hope you all had a great Christmas time. Mandi is going back to her house tomorrow for a few days so she can finalise some things then she'll be back here in time for us to celebrate the New Year in together. We have to go to Asda first for some quick shopping, and I can tell you now - within 5 minutes of her going home, I'll be flat out on the couch having a kip!!!!!!!!
