Not a nice mission to start the week!

I'm off to work so am not sure I'll get it done anyway.

Ds is staying for lunch for the first time at school today - he was very excited
Dd had a bad case of the grumps this morning

Hello to simply sorry to have missed you last night, hope all is well

Wooh Bianca !
My whole house is a mess
I still have the remnants of a hangover (got in at 4.30am Sunday morning .. ouch)
My feet hurt due to inappropiate shoes

Gah !

Only bright thing is that I don't have bins in the house (just a carrier bag on a hook in the utility room) so at least I can say mission sorted

Need tea

Then will do "bleurghing" (thats the home blessing not throwing up BTW)

TheMincePiedMadHouse · 10/12/2007 09:22

Bianca Hope DS enjoys his lunch at school

Morning All

Well I have a whole house to do to yadd
Spent the majority of yesterday making a costume for DD1 who has her school nativity tomorrow. She has to be a pine tree! So we made her a tree tabard and stuck pine cones on it!, and made her a pointy hat.

I have spent most of the weekend doing pretty much anything but house work, so I'm on catch up today.

Better get stuck in before I have to collect DS

ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 10/12/2007 09:56

Oh i mission i don't have to do. I only use carrier bag in a hook too.
Bianca Hope DS enjoys lunch at school.
Yadda Hello.
TMH Enjoy the christmas party.

I have to get this room tidy yet again for SW to come today(If she makes it this time!)

Also must email about the wii. Am worrying as i haven't heard back from him yet. But he hyas had more listed.

ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 10/12/2007 09:56

Hi Luda. Hope the costume turned out well.

JingleyJen · 10/12/2007 10:09

Morning everyone

Washed out the bins when I changed the bags on friday so I am going to pass on the mission for today.

Have done kitchen, washing, ironing & dishwasher for today.
Must tackle the toy box but DS1 is at school afternoons this week because of the school play so it will have to wait until he isn't here.

bianca hope DS has fun at lunchtime
TMH is father Christmas coming to the party?
Yadda have these hope they help with the hangover!
Luda sound very creative with the Christmas tree! when is the Christmas play?
Tort hope you SW visit goes well.

Am going to try to find some thick red ribbon to hang the Christmas cards on. We bought the Christmas tree this weekend - they are going to cut it and deliver it on Thursday so want to make sure the sitting room is decorated ready for it's arrival. Is it too early to put up decorations?

ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 10/12/2007 10:13

Too early jen! Er no!! I put ours up last weekend.

JingleyJen · 10/12/2007 10:30

tort I am so pleased you said that - DH said I should wait until after my birthday (16th) but I CANT!!!

I am such a child

ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 10/12/2007 11:05

I want to cry. My Video cameras gone wrong. So i just phined Sony. It would be 3176 to get it looked at and hopefully fixed. i don't think its worth bothering for that price but i won't be able to video christmas play or christmas morning. Boo hoo.

yaddayule · 10/12/2007 11:33

£3176 !

ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 10/12/2007 11:39

ooops! £176 lol.
Slip of the finger there!

yaddayule · 10/12/2007 11:44

Ouch thats still a lot
We've got a sony vcamera .. that needs mending too

Gah !

ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 10/12/2007 11:45

It is alot. And i just won't be able to afford it and i don't see why it should be so much.
Going to look and see if there is anyone local that can look at ot i think.

Please tell me to get on and tidy up! (I have done a bit, honest!)

ludaloolovesmincepies · 10/12/2007 11:50

Yay Xmas Decs Jen good luck with getting a good seat! (I have to try too!)

Oh tort its pants isn't it...our digital camera is knackered also...

Hi All

Sorry I just need to vent about my Mum and also one of my cousins has the gene and the other one does not

Mum is going in to hospital tomorrow nad has been a bitch since Friday, basically cut herself off, wont see anyone and wants waiting on hands and foot. well she got the dates wrong for the panto she insisted on taking DS1 to and it is wednesday so she can not take him, but....

She wants me to take him and is insisting that DH comes home early to look after DS2. TBH he will not enjoy it, he is scared of santa, but she insisted and to keep the peace we agreed. So now she is in a foul mood with me.

Doesnt help that she commented that she is glad B dousnt have the gene, as she likes her better than A!!!!!
