And free herself up for the rest of the day, to watch films or catch up with the soaps, and spend some time with my sisters. It was the one day of the week where we'd all be in the house @ the sa...

Especially when its the start of the month of December and 3 weeks and counting till Christmas!! :)) ISS is holding an ISS Wine and Cheese Night this evening at Kafe Karma at 6.30pm!
