Hang onto your hats; we're on the home straight, sprinting to the finish line! It's the Countdown to Christmas, thread 10!

[NoWordForFluffy]

Evening all! I'm not sure if this will be the last or the penultimate thread, but here goes!

Nero, O2 appears to be working now (conveniently now I'm home and don't need mobile data!).

Acey , sorry bout the typo with your name , Axey sounds really rock n roll though !

Mrs - Axey I like it, it’s a grand stage name
Can’t be as bad as the woman at the hospital thalasemia clinic; ASSEY - no no 😂 and the lady at the drs who was very confused ‘what? A C like the initials, I need your full name not initials’ good god 🤷🏻‍♀️
The waffles are smelling so good, it was very simple to do! So far no mess, let’s see how they turn out though 😂
Hopefully you have a better day today my dear 😁
Still wheezing a wee bit, but nowhere near a bad as last night thanks my lovely!

Woah it worked

Assey ? that is so funny Acey !
The waffles look a huge success well done am most impressed and no mess Glad your chest is better this morning sweetie

Mrs - it was so funny! I was sat there and she kept saying ‘assey’ assey’ and I was thinking who would name their kid that?! 😂 then she tried to pronounce my surname and I was like oh god she means me 😂
That waffle maker is a game changer, I couldn’t believe there was no mess and they taste so good! It’s not left anything on the maker either, fantastic!
Thank you lovely, it’s a respectable 9 degrees here in beautiful Ireland, so it shouldn’t be too bad when we leave the house to get my passport photo done!

It is very mild here too , not raining looks a deceny day , l need to shake the owes of having a deranged Dsis off and get with it!
Have a lovely day Acey ! Must shift to the parents , taking Mum to the hairdressers , did l tell you the hairdressers can't stand Dsis seems they had an altercation or two when she took Mum to the Hairdressers , see it's not just me lol .

It’s very mild for December! This weather throws me off because I have no idea what the whether will be like when Addie is born in March!
Deranged sis haha never a truer word spoken my dear!
Thank you lovely, have a lovely day with your parents too
Oh good god, is there anyone she doesn’t manage to piss off
I’m trying to put my makeup on, but paddy’s going through my makeup bag ‘ooo what’s this, what do you use this for, oooo I like this’ bless him it’s a whole new world

Has he never had a girlfriend, Acey? Or just ones like me who don't wear it?!

Mild here too, but that's normal I think. It's Jan and Feb that are coldest. Though March was awful this year. As long as you have layers Addie will be fine, Acey. Stop worrying!

He’s had girlfriends but they never bothered to wear makeup as they didn’t need it, I on the other hand certainly do
We are in Tesco, so much reduced Christmas stuff
I’m worrying about everything to do with Addie, it’s crazy as she isn’t even here yet 😂
I can’t even remember what March was like this year!

Jesus wept my Gpops is having a major rant about that Jess glynne song called Thursday ‘what’s wrong with thursdays, why’s she got such a problem, why not Monday’s huh?! Geeeeez, you gotta chill Gpops 😂

I went to get my passport photo done at this specialist place that does the digital thing, they don’t do it any more 😂 got to go to the next city to get it done gah! I think we’ll go Sunday as it’s football day tomorrow

Wheelchair thank you, I’m hoping it’s just a one time thing. Good luck today! Please don’t worry about it, I’m sure everything will be fine.

Acey I’m sorry you didn’t get much sleep, do you mind me asking what’s wrong with your back and hip?. Thank you, they’re doing a bit better now. Still so tired though.

Fluffy They’re still sleeping but am making them some soup. And I know! 4 kids in a 2 bed, we’re investing in a triple bunk bed when they get older. I’m glad you still got sleep.

Mrs I hope you have a good day today, you deserve it!.

The girls are still asleep, got about an hours last night. Woke up with what looks to be the start of a very bad cold. I’ve got loads of work to do today as well!. I’m making some soup for the girls and then will get cracking. Not sure what we’ll be up to today, the family were meant to come over but they don’t want to catch anything from the girls. Think I’ll get DH to tidy up when he gets home!.

Cathy - thank you, I’ll take it as preperation for the sleepless nights when Addie arrives! Of course not, I’m suffering with sciatica which seems to be getting worse as the days go on. I have weekly physio sessions to try and relive it but they don’t help much unfortunately! Hopefully the girls will be feeling better when they wake up. Good plan getting hubby to tidy up!
My grandad goes back to the UK on Tuesday so he can get his house on the market and look for a place here, will be weird not having him here as he’s been staying with me since October!
At least I have my gorgeous paddy though

Just sorting out a grocery shop for tomorrow as we are running low on quite a few essentials, so rock and roll! 😂

Finding it tricky to find time to come on here and there's always an avalanche of posts!

Acey those reindeer waffles look lovely. Is the physio helping at all? DH sees an osteopath for his sciatica and he gets a good amount of pain relief between appointments so I would consider trying someone else soon if it's not helping as sometimes you just need a different technique.

Cathy I'm guessing you're new( to the group unless baby brain has proven me wrong again! ) So I'll say hello regardless! I'm sorry to hear about the tonsillitis, my sister had hers removed around 11 years old because of getting it all the time. How exciting that you're expecting twins!

wheels I love the photo of your girls Infront of the Christmas tree 🙂

Mrsmad your sister is very, very hard work. I think it's good to pick her up on her attitude once in awhile, all the time is too much stress for you but it's tricky, you don't want to feel like you're constantly battling her but at the same time you don't want to enable her nonsense. Every time you feel bad about it take a step back and look at it from an outside perspective because with family we have a tendency to feel guilty for no reason.

Jesus wept, someone just went to pick up my devil cat domino and walk off with her!! We went out and confronted her and she says ‘he’s my cat’ 1. She’s a girl, 2. She’s been mine since she was a kitten and 3. She’s chipped so bugger off! Honestly the cheeky fecker!!

Sea - the physio seems to help briefly but by the time we get home from the appointment I’m in horrendous pain again! It’s all done privately through work, so when we go back next week I’ll look into your recommendation of an osteopath, anything is worth a try at this point!
My midwife says it’s more than likely just going to keep getting worse as Addie grows! Hope all is well with you!

Acey Awwww I'm sorry the bath bombs weren't the most fun. I love the ones that turn the bath all kind of fun colors and things lol

fluffy I'm glad You slept well!!

I woke up sick! LOL no infusion today! Got it rescheduled to Monday and we'll see how things go then.

Mrs Good luck with your mum's hair appointment! I hope that goes really well!

Acey We love love our waffle maker!! We got one that is spiderman and puts a really cool spider in the middle of all our waffles haha

I'm ROLLING at Assey!! I wouldn't know she was talking about me either! haha

Mrs Your Dsis had a row with the hair dresser? Good Lord! Does your Dsis just pick fights with everyone? I want to fight her and she's not even here

cathy You poor thing! Your house is so full of germs right now. You need to take it easy and bolster your vit C intake.

seafood Thank you! My girls are getting so big and I'm super weepy about it. I miss them being small and cuddly. I have at least 5 years I hope until I get grandbabies lol

I'm staying in bed today watching things with hubby and waiting for my carer to come today

Wheelie - I’ll be having a bath tonight with an extremely colourful bath bomb, I’ll upload a pic later when I pick one
Oh bless you, I hope you’re better soon!
I love waffles but can’t be doing with shop bought ones as they aren’t the same, so this waffle maker is a revelation spider man waffle maker that’s hella cool haha.
Honestly I was thinking who on earth is ASSEY?! The best part was paddy was with me, and he has the most amazing belly laugh, so when we realised it was me he just started full on belly laughing 😂

Paddy got me this blanket that has sleeves on it and little pocket things where you put your hands, mav is trying to fit into one of the hand pocket things 😂
Devil cat domino will not stay inside 🤷🏻‍♀️

acey I like the ones that turn the water pink! But sometimes I buy ones that have little toys inside them when they melt and I love those. I got some that looked like pokeballs and inside were little pokemon!

I eat store bought waffles but I love homemade ones best lol

I'm still laughing at Assey!

Mav and Domino are the funniest cats ever! I adore them both. Gabriel my orange cat is laying in bed with me right now. I am refusing to leave the bed today

Wheelie - I did have a pink glittery one, but paddy used that one
Pokeball bath bombs sound hella cool too! Quite a few of the ones I got for Christmas have wee toys in, they are so cute!
Homemade waffles are definitely the best!

I told my midwife about being called Assey, she nearly fell off her chair laughing 😂

They are funny, mav especially he’s brilliant he’s fell asleep next to me bless him. Ah bless Gabriel, he sounds like a cutie! I don’t blame you not leaving the bed!

I’m so tired today and Addie’s going wild

Wheelie - I may use this one tonight

Hi all. We’ve decided on either George or Thomas for our little boy. The girls are doing much better, haven’t stopped talking my head off. We’ve had homemade pie and chips for tea. DH has just come home with these baby gro’s for the twins, I’ll attach a picture.

Acey My mum had sciatica when I was younger, she was always in a lot of pain with it. I hope it eases with time. How cheeky of that woman to take your cat!.

Seafood Hello! It seems to be one of them illnesses most kids get. It is very exciting, very unexpected too!.

Wheelchair Thank you, I’ve been feeding everyone up today. Going to have a good scrub of the house when the girls get better to get rid of all the germs.

George, Thomas or Abel that should be

acey That one is super glittery and I love it! Now I need to go buy some bath bombs haha

Cathy I think scrubbing the house thoroughly is a great idea!

I've 100% decided on the chaise lounger I want! As soon as I get paid I'll get it bought and I can't wait to get it. I got a phone call and my GI doc wants to see me on January 3rd for discussion of what's going on and my feeding tube stuff.
