Southampton again

Here I am back. Battery has now been removed and is busy charging - the fact that it is so doing suggests that it HAD run down, which means I'll have to get the alternator etc. checked up. Arse-y bollocks. Though now have got a friend coming over to help out who knows a good deal more! MANY MANY THANKS Steve.....*hugs*

Rest of xmas has left me feeling slightly restored. My sister is ab-so-lutely HUGE! Though half of that will be placenta, obviously, but it's really funny in a way....scary, majorly scary though. But at least she didnt go into labour over xmas, that really would have been too much. For everyone, I think. Much eaten, lovely stock made (that I'm not going to see, grrrrr), plenty of cake (though only 2 turkey sandwiches) and the reputation for fantastic gravy further cemented - though I dont know where it came from in the first place! Good stuff all round. And a smooth train journey back. Though I seem to have acquired the squits from somewhere, hope it's just the food overdose and not anything else - motorway driving with dodgy stomach NOT fun....

ANyhow, on with the eating and the packing!
