Not all. We taped it and watched some but will watch the rest after visitors leave from lunch and before the next lot arrive tonight. That way we can skip through bits we don't like. Some great singers on this year

Tracey Alley (traceya) | 485 comments Hi all,
Hope everyone had a safe and merry Christmas. I've been pretty busy spending time with the teens in my life. I am very fortunate to have a couple of wonderful 18 year old nieces and my BFF's daughter who's nearly 17 and her younger cousin who's 14. I love to spend as much time with them as I can to just get together and go shopping or picnics and stuff. I always find I get very energized when I'm with 'the kids' and to be honest, half the time I think I have more fun than they do ;) Could be they're closer to my mental age lol :)

I have to wait until April till I'm going to Singapore. It's only for a stopover though :(. I'm going to Egypt for 8 days and stopping at Singapore on the way back. I can't wait!

I LOVE Singapore! When I was a flight attendant for BA I used to go there a fair bit but I haven't been now since 2010 and I miss it!
