Hello....I hope no one minds me starting the weekend thread...I always presume I'm safe, as there are no links to make. (I'm always up too piggin early too and am an impatient little critter!!)

Well I'm feeling a bit "blue" today...no idea why! Just feel a bit glum. Had an arguement with dh just before bed...thats probably the cause.

Ivor.....what is welsh for biscuit? I can just imagine your boss trying to think of something quick!

Satin....how are you this morning? Put your feet up. ( I heard Pineapple was supposed to bring on labour you know.....presumably you are meant to eat it!?? .....I didn't like to ask!!!!)

Right, well I am off to sort the house out...I have to sort the garden out aswell, the wind has been so strong our garden looks like a tip! Toys all pushed over, the swing has fallen backwards, and we have half the neighbour hoods recycling bags strewn around the place!

BFN xx

My kids and dh are watching the Polar express right now. They both have colds so I'm hoping a lazy afternoon in front of the TV will give them enough energy to last this last week of term at school and pre-school - it'll be a real shame if they're too poorly for all the shows and parties...

Have just pulled out ds's bed to hoover underneath and am ashamed of all the dust balls under there- yukky! Will have to move his chest of drawers now too....

my eldest two both have colds...dd1 looks like she has big red lipstick all across her lips and ds is currently asleep on the sofa...he was up most of the night coughing..
hopefully the colds will be out the way for xmas!
someone is always ill for xmas

I've done our bed and ds's bed so far- dd has loads of toys stored under her bed so I'm not sure I can face it...probably should though and get it over with....

Hope your dc are better soon. My dd has those awful sore red lips too- and that area btwn her lips and nose (can't think what it's called..?) is all raw and sore Ds is just snotty- it's everywhere! I've had a headache all afternoon so am sure I'll wake up with a cold by the morning...

ludaloo · 10/12/2006 16:27

no idea what that bit is called either! but yes dd1 is sore there too...lots of cream on it before bed me thinks.
I hope you don't get it too!!! I think I've had it already...had a bad head and ached all over for a few days last week.

Do your dd bed while you are in the swing of things......otherwise you'll leave it and it will bug you...think how pleased you'll be when its done!

I've done it- it was truely gruesome but at least it's done and I do feel pleased with myself! I've even sorted through some of the toys under there quickly while dd isn't looking. There's another under-bed-box but I really can't face that this evening- must go and get supper on.

All 3 bedrooms are looking really rather good (not that I'm bragging!)- I just need to straighten up the contents of the wardrobes but that may have to be done during the week.

Downstairs will have to be sorted next weekend before we put up our tree.

See you later x

Dc are in bed and sleeping, before 7:30pm too. How cool is that

It was "The Santa Clause" luda The one with Tim Allen where he becomes Santa, where the Clause is he puts on the suit and hes then the new Santa. I have the 2nd one on DVD, I seen the other day that there is a 3rd one out now too, though I have not seen it.

Roast dinner went down well, DS1 wanted more!

Lunch boxes,clothes, etc ready for the morning.

The kitchen is clean (again) and mt sink is shining.

Time for a very hot bath. Just hope that the DC stay asleep in bed while I am in there.

Where is everyone today/night???

I going to have a bath now

IvortheEngine · 10/12/2006 20:21

Hello all. Just a quickie. I was away last night. I'm going to have a quick tidy up and then do some ironing. We've now bought and wrapped some presents. I've a few more to get and the kids' ones and all the cards to write, so lots to do. Bye for now, see you tomorrow or later on in the week.

ISawTortoiseKissingSantaClaus · 10/12/2006 20:22

Evening all.
Had a really good day. We went to town then the park even though by then it had started raining!! Came home and had lunch. then wrote letters to Santa with DD's.
Then we made a paper chain for their bedroom. They are sooo pleased with it. Have also done a good amount of tidying! I don't think ive really stopped all day.
Have a sore throat now.Hope it doesn't get worse. I have flu jab wednesday!

Spoke to XP1 after phone contact with boys. He said he had had a think about xmas day and would phone his sol in the morning. I said do you want to tell me and he said not at this precise moment!! grrr

Then about 5-10 mins later he text to say he will move time to 3pm and leave the other times the same! Yay! Now have to hope SW etc will agree. Will be calling my sol 1st thing before the Guardian comes here at 11.30. I need his advice on what to say to her.

Poor DS2 is stil suffering with painful ear and he has his play tomorrow afternoon.He has the staring role of Joseph so i really hope he does it. I will be there watching.

Bit more tidying to do when i have rested!
Where is Satin today??

ISawTortoiseKissingSantaClaus · 10/12/2006 20:24

HN we watched that today too. Well i was listening while tidying! Lol! Its a good film. Im not keen on the 2nd one and not sure if 3rd will be ok or not. probably have to wait until next xmas for it on DVD!

HazelnutsRoastingOnAnOpenFire · 10/12/2006 21:32

Hi tortoise.

Well done on you good day of FLYing and playing doing bits with DDs

What was your xp1 on? Why could he not say that on the phone? Or was it that he did not what his mum to hear? lol

You should send her a letter thanking her for Christmas day with your DSs, then if he has told her different, (ie the court said he had to let you have them until 3pm) it will drop him right in it and teach him not to lie!!

When I first read that he did not want to tell you, I thought he was going to get his solicitor to tell you to "piss off", "No way". etc

Your xp1 is really hard to work out, he does things that are so weird.

Poor Ds2, I hope he feels better for tomorrow. My DSs play is on Wednesday, I am looking forward to seeing it.

Its the school`s Christmas fair tomorrow and seeing Santa. DSs will get a pressie (no cost to me as the school fund raise all year to buy pressies for the DC. The teachers give the buyers some ideas on what to get each child. Its from books, coloring, puzzles etc, all what that child likes/takes an interest in. So they do get good pressies. I have got DD something to go in the sack too which is another good thing the school does at Christmas, the younger ones don't miss out then.

I forgot to say that DSs done their Christmas cards for school friends today. (we done them before baking cakes)I put the names in and they put their names on them. Though they did try and do it all their selves, but DS1 got moody and DS2 could not fit the name on the card as his letter were a bit on the BIG size, though his name was an ok size. lol.
DD was going her cards too, (old cards from last year)and she was having great fun.

I going to bed soon as I did not have the greatest on nights last night.

See you all tomorrow.

Tortoise, hope tomorrow goes ok and that xp1 does not change his mind before tomorrow. I will be thinking of you and fingers will be crossed that it all goes well.

NN all xxxxxxxxxxx

ISawTortoiseKissingSantaClaus · 10/12/2006 21:37

Lol HN. I didn't think of that! His Mum would probably of been listening in. I nearly cried when he said he wasn't going to say yet and he would phone his sol. God did i ever panic. I know its not sorted for sure yet but ive been told before if we both agree,its very hard for anyone else to disagree! lol!

I haven't moved yet. Shouldn't of stopped i don't think. Throat and head hurts a bit now. Cold coming i think.

HazelnutsRoastingOnAnOpenFire · 10/12/2006 21:49

Oh well you know for sure by the end of tomorrow. I would have cried if I was you with what he said on the phone. Talk about being a mummy`s boy though if it is all down to her.

Hope you don't get a cold, the flu jab wont go down to well if you are feeling low already. I went to have mine the week before last, but they ran out as they did not get the full order are now waiting for more.

I would go to bed and take a couple of tabs and have an early night if I was you. HNtree`s words to me if I feel like you do now lol

See ya tomorrow NN again xxxxxxxxxxx

[fsleepy] emoticon please

ISawTortoiseKissingSantaClaus · 10/12/2006 21:58

NN HN. I will go soon.Have taken tabs now eating icecream!
Sis got back in touch BTW. Now asked me to get over the hedge DVD!
See you tomorrow for the start of a new week.
