A rare night out!

Small went off to play at Cog's house for most of today. Huffle went off to the dentist late morning and came back late lunchtime. Smallest, Moo and I played, jigsawed and walked to the Beer Store. We took back 21 wine bottles, 18 beer bottles and a couple of spirits bottles (one was last years brandy for the Christmas cake). We get money back on the bottles here and we got at least a bottle of free wine to the value of about $13. Not bad! Clean sheet for Grandad in the Spring when he can start collecting them again.

After lunch we left Smallest (still complaining slightly about his arm) and Huffle playing Junior Monopoly, Table Tennis and Scabs and Scrapes (at which point we came back and I had it play too). Moo and I went shopping for food and my windscreen wipers.

Back home we made the start of the gingerbread house. Moo and I mixed and weighed, Huffle squished, Moo kneaded it and I rolled it. Small came home and the two boys cut out shapes with Moo. The house is complete with stained glass windows (a la Mary Berry) and will be put together tomorrow.

Huffle and I left the boys and Moo and went out for an Indian Meal together.

It was lovely and we sat by the fire. Afterwards we went for a trip round the Mall (just because we could) without the pressure of having to buy anything because everything is already bought, though we did get a couple of bits.

Messing in the Mall.

When we came home, Moo was busy with the jigsaw and the boys were fast asleep and had been Angels.
