DD1 not SS1 lol!!

[TortoiseRidesaReindeer]

Evening all.
Had SS1 home today coughing. Took her into school in time for her nativity. She was fine throughout it and said her lines very well. Will see how she is over night then decide if she goes tomorrow. I was hoping to get the last of the Xmas pressies tomorrow but can now do it Friday if not.
Was going thursday because Cooker was due to be delivered Friday but bloody boots has phoned and said delayed again until the 18th. Well, 20th for me cos i am out on the 18th and 19th! and she still couldn't say it will definatly be here. bloody better be! I have emailed Zanussi to ask them WTF is going on with their product manafacturing!! Really fed up of waiting. I cannot cook Xmas dinner on the old cooker!

luda Glad to see you are feeling ok. i have tried not to think about mine today, will jsut wait for a phone call to tell me when they can next do the op!
EHM Hope you and Ellie are ok.

Forgotten everything else now lol!

[TheGarishlyTwinkleyMadHouse]

BWB Sorry you are feeling blue - is there anything I can do

[TheGarishlyTwinkleyMadHouse]

Well didnt put mums decs up, but they are all down from the loft - she has years and years worth, so I am taking her shopping to Aldi in the morning and then she is going to start sorting what she wants out.

The rest I can see if I want - I have already claimed an old small plastic santa and then her nativity (as mine is very small and I will keep for my future DIL), then my bro will take the rest for the club. In fact he is going to help her put up her tree tomorrow.

DH put the boys tobed and the washer on.

Tesco not yet been delivered.

I need to get some pressies for MIL and FIL and also a little bit extra for mum.

[Bewilderbeast]

BIG WAVES to everyone else!

Went Xmas shopping this afternoon, bought some of those tall plastic drawers from Poundstretcher for dc to keep their art and crafty stuff in (ds is mad on Mister Maker, so going to label them 'Doodle Drawers') and some craft stuff from Wilkos to go in them. Got them home and the bottom of them is all smashed up Oh well, dh off again tomorrow morning as it is ds's nursery concert, so will bob them back.

Still have several major presents to buy, starting to panic!!

[TheGarishlyTwinkleyMadHouse]

Swanriver What do you do?

Well me and the boys are bathed
All fed including DH
Boys are now in Pj's ready for bed and very bad tempered

I need to go and help my mum with her christmas decorations, as she has called and asked.

So DH is going to do the bed routine and the tesco delivery and pop it all away

I need to pop and get some more wrapping paper, so will call in at the Tesco's near mums (next town)

[swanriver]

Bianca, was your wreath easy enough for beginners like me or did it require something called oasis?

EHM hope you're OK after the shock of the fall. I fell with ds in my arms when he was a baby and had to send dd round to get a neighbour to help me up again - poor ds was screaming (but fine - I saved him but really hurt myself) and I was v shaken and bruised.
Good luck with the viewing - isn't it typical that it happens as soon as you've started a clear-out?!

[EHM]

luda hope you have a nice bath.

[EHM]

bianca our post man sometimes posts things through the cat flap. Also when ellie was a baby I answered the door whilst she was breast feeding. My mother was mortified when I told her. Don't know why he's not her postman

Thanks for all the tips on presents for my cousin yesterday.

tort hope you a feeling ok today & keeping your chin up.

Thanks for the thread dyls

We have had a viewing today, after months of nothingreceived phone call from estate agent after 5pm last night. The night before we had emptied out loft into the spare room to ebay, 3 buggies/1highchair/1 travel cot/& several other large itemsWaiting to hear from estate agent.

wendy accepted your friend request on FB

Feeling like crap again, still snotting & have sore throat again. I may have to make appointment at doctors

Ellie & I fell on ice yesterday, or my legs went beneath me & I was carrying ellie. so I fell on her
Preschool leader checked her over she was ok. My shoulder & beck are sore today & ellie has big bruise on her knee.[sad

Right I've rambled on far too much & forgot what I was going to type to everybody

Off to make a cuppa.

[FiveDollarShake]

Afternoon all

Bianca Our postman always opens our door to deliver letters and parcels! But we havent a letterbox. If we're going out we leave the window open a fraction and he throws them through there on to the kitchen floor !

Just got back from seeing the DR about DC's.
DD has got to be reviewed again in Feb because she's not sitting up . Also they think her ankles are different .
Im not too worried as she also asked me if my DC's ate lots of carrots...because of the colour of their skin (olive!). .

Then I went to pick up a repeat prescription and nearly fell over when the receptionist told me I had to pay 10 euro for it ( not the drugs just the paper!) Then had to go to pharmacy and spend a fortune on antidepressants.....the price was enough to make anyone depressed I can tell you!
Ive been looking into buying them online from canada/usa for a fraction of the price...does anyone know anything about this ? I might start a thread asking.

Right better get on with tidying etc.

Afternoon all

I am back from soft play - boys have run off some of their energy, but no doubt will have loads more later

The fudge is kind of a waitrose receipe, but I use vanilla essence for one lot and coco powder for the second lot and swirl basic receipe

[AndaGrouchyBahHumbugtoyou]

HELLO ALL

By heck, it gets busy here

Quick rant alert...How Dare DH get ratty and narky in the morning about Ed messing about when I am the one who gets up, makes breakfast, does the morning routines etc etc while he gets up 45 mins later and fiddles with his phone or plays sudoku I am getting so sick of it I'm going to ask him to keep out of our way if it upsets him so much.

Had a friend round for coffee and chat this morning and I've made a b atch of crazy choc choc chip cookies. Done tomorrow's lunches too

Going to do reading friends now so Cheery bye ]fgrin]

Our postman just opened our front door to drop a parcel in Not sure if I think that's acceptable really....

Hope you're feeling better today Tort x x
Enjoy this evening Charlie

My dd is a belly dancer in the Xmas show and ds is a chicken Their shows are next week - I'll be the embarrasing mummy who crys

I have both kids off school poorly today - I never knew a human body could produce so much snot until I had children - disgusting!
We have watched The Snowman and are half way through The Santa Clause
And I have made my own wreath for the front door [proud]

[ludaslovinallthelights]

awww charlie Hope you have a lovely night watching the concert My DD1 has hers on Friday. She is a Pink Lady from Grease!! Not very xmassy, but she is very pleased anyway! DS hasn't been able to go to school all week so he isn't in the school play (not that he minds!) We'll all just go and watch DD1 instead

Well I feel a bit more human now I've bathed! I have a very small and neat little cut, you can hardly see it. The surgeon did a brilliant job and it has healed up really well, still have the stitches there but they aren't really needed by the looks of things.

Tort I hope you feel better today...I can totally sympathise with you I hope they can sort you another appointment very soon. Have they given any indication?
