Excellent news looney, have a great day.

LOONEYplayingachristmasTUNEy · 24/12/2007 08:59

Yep, couldn't have paid her to behave like that!! lol I'm sooooooo happy now, I can go and do the shopping I need to do . As for dh, errrr, nah, he's like that and would have probably done it on his own anyway!!!! He really is like a kid in a candy store!

Merry Christmas everyone LT & buba xx

Merry Christmas all. I'm not working today so I'm wrapping xmas presents and packing clothes for a few days away (going to my parents place).
Car headlamp went yesterday, typical - why do they always go when it's foggy... no joy calling garage this morning, so will have to leave it till after xmas - no hope of changing bulb myself... modern cars are nightmares to access bulbs (on my C3, supposedly you need to take the bumper off!).

Need to get some larger on my way to mums, as my step brother says they have nearly run out already! So will need to brave a shop.

crace · 24/12/2007 09:37

I am working today boo hoo!! 12-6 as well, bummer

NN - they are impossible to get to these days, aren't they - seems ridiculous bringing a car to garage for a bulb doesn't it?

Just sent Dh to brave shops for last minute food needs and then off to SILs tomorrow to be treated for Christmas dinner.

Merry Christmas if I don't see you all!

Happy Christmas all! I've just finished soaking my ham and its going in the oven i a minute for roasting.

Turkey is out of the freezer as is the beef. Its getting ever so slightly Christmasy here!

DH still has to work, which he is not happy about, mainly because of what happened at the weekend. He had a little accident!

DD had left the hoover on the landing and he went for a wee at about 1am and stubbed his little toe on it. He said he felt his toe and thought, 'that's odd, not only is it wet, but my nail is pointing in t
he wrong direction!' OUCH! I was blissfully unaware of this, snoring, but dd woke up and called out to him in the dark. He had made it into the bathroom, dripping blood behind him and was lying on the floor all pale and pathetic! She kept asking useful questions like 'do youthink you need stitches daddy?' Anyway, after 3/4 of hour lying on the bathroom floor, he made it back to bed and I had to straighten the toe nail out again (its not quite off, but very nearly) and dress it.

He took 2 400mg tablets, which I told him was too many, but he jut said. 'I'm anticipating a lot of throbbing!'

I ended up being awake for most of Saturday night, with DH moaning in his sleep and DD drifting in and out with her rotten cold.
