I haven't had much time to check in lately but just wanted to share my happiness as we had an offer accepted on a house today! It's a beautiful character property on a country lane with sheep and pheasants for neighbors (and fast broadband!!).

We don't want to rush the closing as we have a lease here until March, but the owners are very flexible so that will work out well for everyone.

I know cheers will want to know where it is but I hope you can understand why I wouldn't want to post that information online. Suffice it to say that we are very happy and just have fingers crossed that everything goes well.

So I was out Christmas shopping today, for the grand-kids, in Walmart and while I was there I spotted and bought McVities chocolate digestives biscuits and also Cadbury's chocolate finger biscuits. Whoa!

It wasn't too bad as far as customers in the store but I've made up my mind that I have to stay away until January. I don't like bedlam! It is going to be worse this year because people have been told that the economy is getting better. Then in January there is depression when they get their bill for the heating and their credit cards.

The price for the biscuits was reasonable considering. So remember the next time your in Walmart check out the biscuits imported from the UK and tell me what you think.

No UK Terry's chocolate oranges, from Poland, yet.

Oh wow! I totally understand you not posting the whereabouts on the house you bought but we can wait. I bet it is a house we would be envious of.

I found the chocolate digestives in the super walmart about an hour from us. Good job I don't go there often or I'd be gaining weight.
I do a lot of the Christmas shopping online as we an hour from the nearest big town. Disney.com has already delivered a big box of goodies for Dd. Just a few more bits to get and then food shopping last minute.

Wait until you get back here, you'll be spoiled for choice, in the biscuit department. As my bathroom scales have not yet arrived I can't go on a diet, so I am enjoying all the things that I should be staying away from.

That is great news. I hope you will be very happy in your new "old" home.
We are surrounded by sheep, cattle and pheasants and I love it. My fear is that I will a hit a pheasant on the road or cause an accident trying not to

That sounds like a good excuse. I may use that one.

I've found an unusual way of keeping track of my weight. If my watch slips up and down on my wrist I know my weight is down.
