Looks like the holidays have started early for us. just hoping the rest of us don't get it now.

shouldbedeckingthehalls · 19/12/2006 15:29

oh dear Jelley - sorry to hear dd is sick! There's been a 48hour bug going round here and we've avoided it so far...I'm just waiting for it to strike us at the weekend! Hope she's soon better x

Tort - never mind, we all need lazy days sometimes. You needed tp [reserve your energy ready for a bust evening by the sounds of it!

I'm not doing anymore today, a friend has rung and asked if she can call in for a cuppa so that'll be better than sorting the utility room!

See you later x x

EllieHsMum · 19/12/2006 16:01

Cranberry - sorry to hear dd is ill.Hope she's better soon.

Tort- Don't worry you'll need to energy to put the Tesco delivery away.

Shouldbe You are doing better than me.

ParanoidAndroid · 19/12/2006 16:32

Hello all - busy day today so not much done here - dogs walked, S&S, and errrr, that's it . I've been helping do some more PTA stuff and then helping at the school all afternoon. Am about to take ds into theatre as it's his last performance tonight.

QP - glad you're back, you're always welcome here. Just be careful with the no sleep thing - our bodies need sleep to 'recover' from being up and about, so take it easy or you will make yourself ill. And always post if you need a virtual hug - we're all good at those here I think !!!

Ruby - sorry to hear you're not feeling brilliant, but well done on the knitting. I am v. impressed. I never got beyond knitting squares for Blue Peter in the 1970's (shows my age.....) so I am always amazed at people who can knit!

Tort - you must be SOOO excited about the weekend, I do hope you have a lovely time with your dc all around you Don't even try to do any flying when they're there will you!

jelley hope DD is better soon.I hope its a 24hr thing like we've had.
shouldbe Utility room can certainly wait!
EHM Sorry you real a bit unwell.
Well done asleep. android Yes i am excited! Probably worse than the DC!lol!

shouldbedeckingthehalls · 19/12/2006 18:32

trouble is tort that the utility room has been waiting for several months now and I'm not sure how much longer it can wait! Will try again on Thursday, quite busy tomorrow.

Had nice visit from my friend who always makes a fuss of the kids (none yet herself). She left before supper then dh has come home and is doing bedtime stories downstairs while I tidy and hoover (or look on MN ) upstairs...should probably turn the hoover on so he thinks I'm doing something productive!

ParanoidAndroid · 19/12/2006 18:33

Nowt wrong with excitement Tort !!!! You deserve it!

Hi Ruby - I'm impressed even though I don't have a clue what you're talking about

Still haven't done anything to the house despite dh taking ds to the theatre. Just typing up my application for art college (doh, and me at 42 nearly 43! What am I thinking of!!!!)

satinshoes · 19/12/2006 18:56

Hi All,

Thanks EHM - needed that.

DD2 got weighed yesterday and is exactly 7 lb on day 9. She started at 6 lb 15, dropped to 6 lb 10 and has now put it all on again so even though I feel like a milk machine at the mo it is obviously doing some good

Have done a bit today. DH has been working quite a bit so as well as looking after 2 DDs I have hoovered upstairs, kept on top of the d/w, w/m & kitchen and I've just been and picked up all the toys

Sorry, havent read all the posts but hope you're all ok.

HazelnutsRoastingOnAnOpenFire · 19/12/2006 20:39

Hi all. Busy day in here today and people have been busy FLYing as well.

Tort I think you done all your FLYing last night. As for Icelands, there are so many offers that I would be here all night listing them.

Busy day here in HN house.

DW is going now.
WM+TD has done 3 loads, and I have put all the clothes away as well. Hoping it will snow
The whole house has been hoovered, and the lounge has been dusted.

HNtree phoned today to say she was not going to be around Christmas as she has a chance to go on a holiday with some friends of hers. That if it was ok with me! I told her it was not up to me etc, She was worried that I wanted her to be here for Xmas etc.
Anyway to cut a long story short, we are going over tomorrow and having a Christmas day with her. DSS were hyper when they came home from school and they are even more hyper tonight knowing that they are going to see HNtree tomorrow.

I`m going to have a hot bath now. I think DC are asleep.
