(a word I know I over-use, but it's entirely appropriate here) Like ursula, I'm really moved- you must have been stunned! Congratulations, Elly, on your magnificent present buying :) These are fabulous!

I know I know I know. What did I say the other day: I am the Queen of empty promises. Fact is, and it's not an excuse by any stretch of my overblown imagination: It's all too much. My intentions are good, firmly in place and then I fall at the hurdle we call "time". Or I plain scratch my head and ask myself what possessed me in the first place. Or I lose interest. Or whatever. Truth is I need someone to whip me back into the shape I was once instead of just drifting along like a leaf in the autumn wind. See? I am doing it again: A lot of words, little action. Anyway, you are quite right. It's only 1714 hrs GMT, so I have a few hours till midnight to start 2012 as I mean to go on. And why not with "Mama in the morning"? In absence of the Angel I shall now challenge my technological ineptitude and try and connect the scanner. The things you make me do, Grannymar. Please don't hold it against me should I not materialise "in the morning". I'll try, I promise. U Please don’t, Grannymar. I know I know I know.

Then you could follow it up with all the posts you say (on other blogs) that you are going to write about. Have you ever written one of them? Maria/gaelikaa - I am sure you have some of your children's artwork that you could bring to life. Ursula - Why not open the new year on your blog with “Mama in the morning”.

Alice - When Elly was small and spending pocket money for buying gifts, I tried to teach her not to be distracted by 'shiny' or items that she herself liked. It was more important to get inside the head of the person she was buying for. This time she got it spot on! Conrad - Now I am feeling giddy. I sure am NOT hallucinating about hallucinating, that I might be hallucinating that I am NOT hallucinating! Get it? BWT - I thought so.
