Dance Yourself Dizzy...
Tonight you were mainly milking goats, decorating trees, going for a weigh-in, writing with fire, completing your extensions and making wild boar,prune and claret sausages. Just another routine evening for the Get It On family of listeners.
It turned out to be a fantastic theme tonight. I loved the range of things of things our listeners were getting up to during the show and it was great to hear from so many people in the midst of their Christmas preparations.
Tomorrow night it's '9 ladies dancing' for us so it's songs with dances in them. That could include everything from Waltz Across Texas to never Tango With an Eskimo. I hope all our bloggers are prepared to take the floor tomorrow night.
