I know we only finished the christmas special tournament there a couple of weeks ago, but traffic has slowed here in the christmas forum, so was wondering if we should move ahead with one of the remaining ones we discussed to get things a tad more lively in here?

But members of family did leave things in places that I have had to visit - (duty!) - for us to collect. Santa brought me my BEST favourite thing - a metal-detector! Also a steel ruler with inches and centimetres side by side. And three books to read! I was a very happy Elf. :) How about you? Get anything nice? What was your favourite thing ..read more
