Good morning everyone

I'm off to work in a minute, but can't start the day without having a quick nose at MN

Hope everyone has a good day, see you all later x

They have DS lites at their dads. Rather not buy one for here too.
I need to get DS's pjs yet. must look in matalan! Watching some on Ebay for dd2. They have a rudolph on with flashing nose

Oodlesandludasoftinsel · 24/11/2007 14:49

actually that is just a screen protecter....but I think they sell the consoles too..

Oodlesandludasoftinsel · 24/11/2007 14:50

Ah...I see...

Matalan is great, and if you spend over a certain amount they are giving £5 voucers too..

ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 24/11/2007 14:52

oooh even better!
I had a £5 off woolies voucher from in the sun the other day. Just had to spend £25 to get it. That was easily done! They went back and bought something for £6.99 with the voucher.

Oodlesandludasoftinsel · 24/11/2007 14:56

I've got one saved up (you can't actually spend them until Dec 1st)

ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 24/11/2007 15:02

Had to be a condition on it! Betthey on;y last a week after the 1st too.
Do you know how long they are giving them away for?

ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 24/11/2007 15:03

My hands are so cold i can't type! Sorry!
Bet they only*

ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 24/11/2007 15:04

Nice chatting to you.

Oodlesandludasoftinsel · 24/11/2007 15:44

Nice chatting with you too...hope you warm up soon!...jog about a bit while you tidy

Oh I am a bit of a humbug when it comes to decorations, as it is my birthday dec 20, we use to put them up after that.

But now we have the children, we will put them up a little earlier. we also take them down just after boxing day. We have an artifical tree, as we have a cat and the needles can get in his pads.

Although he is in my bad books as he has broken a lamp today - boo hoo.

I have cooked pizza for tea and need to empty the TD and put the washer on again. Ironing is piling up.

We are all watching Toy Story 2

ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 24/11/2007 17:21

Well, i think i have a space big enough for a tree or i need to look out for a smaller one! Mine is rather fat!
DS's are home now.
I need to make DD's something for tea. No idea what though.

TMH My sister's birthday is the 22nd.

I am actually looking forward to going up in the loft next week to get the bits out! Will have all the fun of trying to put lights up outside too.

Oodlesandludasoftinsel · 24/11/2007 18:05

I'm starting to look forward to next weekend too I have made progress in the living room

The whole family is sat watching You've Been Framed...my DD1 absolutely LOVES it!
I'm going to sneak off and potter about upstairs...have washing to put away, my new plan isn't working too well

see you all tomorrow xxxx

TheMadHouse · 24/11/2007 18:07

Oh I am not sure I like being a Christmas baby it is easier now I am older, but I often just got one pressie from people when I was younger.

I have told DH none this year, as we are skint, but mum is in america on hols so you never know

ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 24/11/2007 18:09

Mine are watching you've been framed too.
I have washing to put away too!

Just discovered dd1 has thread worms. She had been moaning her bum was itchy for the last hour. Now i know why!

BiancaCastafiore · 24/11/2007 19:21

Finally home from work and late night shopping eve - completely exhausted!

Have come home to 2 grumpy kids so not sure if I'd rather still be at work

Lol at Luda today!
for Grouchy feeling so happy.

Did read though the rest but have forgotten it all - I really am very tired!

Oh, and we don't put up the Christmas decorations till the weekend before Christmas so have ages to wait. We always get a real tree from a local Christmas tree farm (you go and walk through the trees, choose the one you like and a chap comes along with a saw and cuts it down for you we always spend hours looking for the perfect tree) lots of fun and a long-standing family tradition
We do put up one set of lights we have for a window on Dec 1st though

Wow you have had a long day Bianca.
Hope you get some rest now.
I really couldn't wait that long to put decs up! Tree picking sounds noce though. But i don't do real trees.

FrostyGlassSlipper · 24/11/2007 20:30

This thread might inspire you all

ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 24/11/2007 20:41

Lol Glassslipper! I did ds's room last week and dd's room the week before!
They still have quite a few toys but mainly bigger ones that are hard to store.

Oodlesandludasoftinsel · 24/11/2007 21:51

Dh is playing super mario kart with our neighbour (testing it out...as it is a pressie for dc really )

Anyone up for some Isketch??

Oodlesandludasoftinsel · 24/11/2007 21:55

Isketch here

ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 24/11/2007 21:55

Be there soon Luda

Oodlesandludasoftinsel · 24/11/2007 22:43

good game tort, off to bed now though xxx

ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 24/11/2007 22:52

Was fun. Invaded by kids now so i left (after winning)

Oodlesandludasoftinsel · 25/11/2007 08:24

yey! well done

So anyone doing anything in particular today??

Tort...are you gonna put your tree and stuff up?

I'm going to have a lazy day today. I really want to get cracking on wrapping up the pressies we have got the kids but obviously will have to wait until they are all asleep.

Beds today I think, and a detailed vaccum of the living room, bedrooms and bathroom.
Must clean the piggles out too
Might aswell clean the bathroom and down stairs loo too.
I'd like everywhere clean and tidy before next sat...can't put the decorations up on top of clutter/dust...it would irritate me!

right well....better get on
