Jas it's your move

Been painting with the girls this afternoon. Dinner is already cooked so am stuck for something to do now. Not used to not rushing around like a maniac. Can't get used to relaxing atall...

shanna am hoping to meet at least ONE of these lovely ladies through the holidays.

I've done very little housework for the last few weeks so need to do a bit of crisis cleaning in time for christmas.

I've managed to declutter all of the dining room (including relocating DD1s art supplies) except for on top of the piano which is an awful hotspot.

I've also tidied away all of DD2s birthday cards and decluttered the rest of the living room.

The kitchen is passable so now need to focus on the BIG hotspot called the playroom.....sigh.

FGS can't believe its been dd2,s birthday already time really flies.
bianca you doing well with your list.
Hi gibberish

Took Ellie for a nice walk & a quick go on the swings as its so cold. On the way back she fell head first into a pile of leaves & mud. So I've bathed her & given her some home made chicken bites & oven chips as a treat. She didn't eat lunch & was a bit grumpy when she woke from her sleep. Would only eat banana.

Had some rest, feel a touch better. Got to pull myself together as I'm working tomorrow afternoon

Shanna yep, It was Ed's last day at nursery forever. I managed not to howl like a baby. He has had such a good time there but I know he is ready to move on. It's a milestone really and I notice my little baby is growing up fast.

Hope that Ed and DH don't spend the whole of the holidsay playing in the attic/office. They have done so far

Oh Lordy, lots of posts to catch up on, except I can't right now as I have shopping to unpack...tried not to over spend, but there are waaayy too many nice things begging to be bought [arrrggghhh I hate it!] I think I have done ok though.

Bianca Thank you very much, your parcel arrived today and I have put its contents under the tree too! It looks fab now! You really shouldn't have, but thank you, its very much appreciated xx
