Sounds exciting Mama. You'll have to post some pictures when you've finished as they sound brilliant.
How is everyone?
Anyone seen Missus? She's not been here for a while. Seven?
Chesty, are you feeling better today? How's Chesty Dog?
Mama, did you find somewhere to hide stuff at school?
Well, you and Seven has inspired me to get off my backside and get on with it. I've wrapped and listed everything I have bought, got a few more presents (I've done more than I thought) - all that's left is the presents for the ex inlaws, cash gifts for the kids and something from their dad when he sends the money over next week.
DD's coat came today that the ebay seller put to one side for her. I couldn't wait for her Birthday - so much effort has gone into finding the damn thing in the firstplace because of the colour - so she's had it now, and is over the moon.
She asked for some headphones a few months ago for Christmas, I said no. I saw them in a sale today so got some - still stupidly expensive but half the price of what they were asking for them.
Just the art stuff and baking stuff and the 2DS for ds then that's them done. I should be done by next week with any luck.
Any ideas on what to get the ex PIL's? They always get me something for Christmas so it's only fair to get them something in return...they've made more of a effort to keep in contact than my own mother has.
Oooh, I've got a tip for you all. If you like yankee candles in a jar, DONT put them in the loft, if you do, make sure they are upright and not tilted. I got my decorations out of the loft today and dicovered that the 2 christmas candles has melted during that stupidly hot summer we had, and then cooled back down hiding the wick. I've had to put them both in the oven to melt them enough to find the wick, push the wax back to where it should be and let them cool again. To top it all off, one of the jars has squashed one of the snowball decorations and leaked all over it - it smells nice but looks as though it's come in contact with a red bloody puddle at high impact.
7 days until the tree is delivered! 9 days to DD's birthday! Too many to Christmas.
The dishwasher arrives tomorrow - yay! That's MY christmas present to me. So I moved that cupboard under the sink, it took 3 hours to move it 8 inches. NEVER AGAIN. Anyway, at least it's straight now (was wonky before), everything is all plumbed back in, extention lead plugged in and secured to the wall (so it's off the floor if there's a leak from anything) and will shove the waste hose from the washing machine down that pipe that I found when the dishwasher get's here, double cold water dividing end thingy in place so I dont have to cut into the cold water pipe, and the waste pipe will go where the washing machine one was..
Does anyone know if you still have to buy salt or is it all included in those tablet things now?
Oooh, treat myself to an eggnog late while I was in town - very nice, got a bit sickly towards the end but it's been worth the wait.
Lush, if anyone is interested are doing a bubblebath/bodywash/shampoo stuff that is like playdoh! You can even mould with it. There's a tin of 6 colours for £25, or they are £5 each.
They also do something that's in the theme of a pantomime, when you yank the top cover off, there's a big "bang" - like a cracker.
Oh, one more thing...IT'S FREEZING!
