Hoping the antibiotics do the trick @Seafour and wishing you a happy, healthy and peaceful Christmas to you and your buslings Xmas Smile

InflagranteDelicto · 25/12/2018 00:32

Hoping the abs do the trick, and you feel more yourself tomorrow.

Need advice. Ds has padlocked his door. Stocking is on his bed... Wtf shall I do!!!

ThinkOfAWittyNameLater · 25/12/2018 09:14

Merry Christmas everyone! I wish you all a good day - be that filled with family, friends, wine, or on your own in peace.

@Seafour I hope your temperature has come back down and you had a good night & have a great day ahead.

@Thefabulouspa I hope you have a lovely day with your kids.

@InflagranteDelicto how did you get on?!

Merry Christmas Buslings thank you for pulling me through the last few weeks, I'm wishing each and every one of you the most magical Christmas Day. Don't work too hard, don't sweat the small stuff, enjoy every moment and laugh a lot.
Myself and dh will be raising a glass to you over our very modest (compared to other years) Christmas dinner. Fabulous will be calling in with her girls before they head off for a family Christmas dinner. Sending you and your families lots ana lots of love.

Inflagrante a bit late now but I would have pushed a note under the door saying something like "chimneys I can do, but padlocked bedroom doors defeat me every time" and then left his stuff outside the door. What did you do?

So I still have a temperature, be is a little better, heart rate very fast, sats on the low side so still scoring but not highly, if I haven't improved hdu will no doubt suggest adding a broad spectrum antibiotic, but for now we wait and watch.

Merry Christmas everyone 🎄 wishing you all a peaceful Christmas filled with love

I caught him going for a wee (nocturnal 14yo)and told him not to padlock it at night so he can escape if there is an emergency. Result. I did have to stay awake until 2 to be sure he was asleep.

Off to church now...

Seafour · 25/12/2018 09:33

@Crownandheelshigh You will smash Christmas dinner, thank you for trusting me enough to let me help you, that box is always there and always works. Like Christmas you just have to believe.

Merry Christmas everyone GrinGrinGrin

Crownandheelshigh · 25/12/2018 10:13

Haha thank you @Seafour to be fair it's only me and little man so not too bad if it goes wrong.

Woke up feeling rather sad as keep seeing it splashed all over fb everyone being spoilt and with family etc, where as it's just me and little dude 😪. Opened my one and only prezzie from me to me of my new slippers tho so not all bad!

Seafour · 25/12/2018 10:36

Crownandheelshigh fuck Facebook, most of it is posed shite and thee reality is very different. At some point today take your wee man out for a walk and say merry Christmas to everyone you pass, let strangers fill you up with Christmas cheer. Have a beautiful day. 🎄☃️🌟

A very happy and peaceful Christmas to you and yours, Seafour ... and to all the other buslings!! Flowers

sunshineandthunder · 25/12/2018 11:02

crown fb is the work of the devil at times... enjoy a lovely day and don't worry about the braggers and arseholes.

I use fb very sparingly - yesterday I posted beautiful pictures of a really nice family day at the Christmas market (mainly for family to see). The reality is that 2hrs after I posted, a vicious D&V bug has hit... funnily enough I've not posted pics of us all looking green, fighting for the toilet and pukey carpets, beds etc.

Hope everyone on the bus has a lovely, peaceful day wherever you may be and whatever you do.

sea - hope the antibiotics do their magic x

Applesandpears23 · 25/12/2018 11:48

Merry Christmas to everyone on the bus. Anyone got any fizz?

TofuPanda · 25/12/2018 11:51

Merry Christmas everyone x x x 🎄🎅🕯☃️✨🍾

JustanotherCHRISTMASuser01 · 25/12/2018 12:08

@Applesandpears23 it's cooling in the fridge at the moment - in the meantime my kitchen has pretty much whatever drink you desire my husband and I arent drinkers normally but we end up buying from duty free whenever were on hol out of the Eu! So go enjoy my kitchen!

JustanotherCHRISTMASuser01 · 25/12/2018 12:12

And deffo fuck Facebook - I am guilty of posting holiday pictures tagging in places etc (we use it as a memory bank really - that app that throws back a year today) I on the other hans dont post I'm probably having the most boring Christmas day ever and don't feel one iota christmasy and my mental health has been awful because my one Christmas wish (a baby of my own) is unlikely so I struggle with Christmas. I echo seafour walk round locally and wish as many people merry Christmas as you can - might just make somebodies day.
Big hugs all around

Crownandheelshigh · 25/12/2018 12:41

Thank you @Seafour and ladies.

Turkey in oven and a bandaged finger 😂

Watching Little man play with his toys and listening to Christmas songs while drinking a glass of Buck's Fizz and I'm a little cheerier!

Your nails are so pretty! Whoops to the injury

yawning801 · 25/12/2018 13:07

Merry Christmas to all!

Andro · 25/12/2018 13:21

Merry Christmas all!

Crownandheelshigh · 25/12/2018 13:25

@JustanotherCHRISTMASuser01 thank you! Serves me right for being inpatient 😂.

They were an Xmas prezzie to myself but didn't want "Christmas" nails as such! Xx

InflagranteDelicto · 25/12/2018 13:26

Crown your Christmas sounds fab. I have people here but after a bit need to hide. Although I did go to church, and enjoyed seeing friends.

Enjoy the peace ☺️

Seafour · 25/12/2018 13:52

So Fabulous and her girls have been for presents and hugs, ds3 has been, he's busy packing for an immanent move to Bristol (next Monday).
My four dsc have been, one of them came straight up, brought me a drink and came to wish me a merry Christmas before she left. The other three didn't speak to me, that includes the youngest who lives here when not at university. I'm already annoyed that they haven't spoken to me since I came home from hospital despite being here most of the time.

Seafour is currently using the red box because I won't let these people who despite being raised by me are devoid of any compassion, spoil the rest of my day.

JustanotherCHRISTMASuser01 · 25/12/2018 14:01

Well he wants to be ashamed of himself seafour - absoloutly abysmal behaviour.
Your right though don't let it spoil your day.
My DH has just made a gorgeous beef Christmas dinner and even made the dog a little one.
You go enjoy the red box - it's very therapeutic and then we are all having sneaky champers in the lounge if your up for it.

Crownandheelshigh · 25/12/2018 17:47

Sorry wanted to share my achievement (even made bread sauce)

My first ever Xmas dinner I've cooked and little mans first ever Xmas dinner full stop!!!

I have an extremely sore finger 😪
