OFM - hope you start to feel better soon.
MC - hope your LO feels better soon too.
Wendy - hope the sparkly funeral goes well and the day is not too draining .
Tea - Love your blog (except I get terrible house envy at your lovely home ). I can't believe you've got all the decorations up already . I am no where near that stage yet (panic panic).

Scatty Thanks for the lovely comments. I love this house, didnt think I would. It was bought as a stop gap when we relocated back to the north east until we find the cash and the motivation to build. It is the smallest house on the estate and right on the edge of the village. It has become a real haven since being ill.

Anyway list for today

Toddlers
Clean the kitchen
whats for lunch and dinner
sewing
ironing
write christmas to to list

Swan The marble run is excellent, you can only put the parts on one way up, so building came really easy to them. Such good value for £25 as they will play with it forever. They were very sad to see it returned to Father Christmas!!

Empty DW
Put away
Make a batch of Suzywong's brownies
Make rocky road crunch
Tidy away

More Ed caring

Tea I try to avoid an overly commercial Xmas but as Ed gets older it does get harder.

Being hassled, must go bbl

Hi everyone,
Thansk for the nice thoughts and healing vibes for my mum. Hopefully she can see the consultant today and get this sorted. My sis and her DH are life savers BIL is taking mum to a hospital 3 hours away from where they are so she can see the consultant there instead of wating for the one at the hospital she is currently in to come back from holiday next week.

scatty thanks for the thread
simply maybe you need something like a time lock on the wills website so it does not allow you to enter until all the christmas cards are done
OFM good luck with the long to do list
Tea your home is really lovely it makes me miss having our own home to decorate as we like rather than rented ones we have been in for the last 6 years.
swan oh dear wailing ds not a great way to start the day

DCs are both have colds for the umpteenth time since september, but no fevers and perky too so have sent them to school.

My list today
shower
make beds
dishwasher
load of washing
ironing
fold clohers and sheets and put away
lunch
dinner

Done - ordered cards from Unicef and V&A
slight moratorium on cards now as they won't come for a few days
still need to do kids' ones though

boys are playing Draughts upstairs - holding my breath

breakfast cleared
think I will venture out to slimey terrace now
OFM - how did saltdough decs go the other day? Is it something I dare try at home?
Wendy - re: cherry jam, I used it as a cheesecake topping, not in a cake as such. Might be nice rolled up in pancakes too? Or in a jam tart?

Oh dear sneezles and snuffles descending here too. Atishoo.

morning all

I have succumb to dd's illness and feel terrible. DD on the otherhand seems to be coming out the other side and has much more energy than me today.

Think DD is well enough to go to nursery today so may give this a try if nursery agree

Off to read the thread and catch up

Afternoon Ladies

Ed is going through the bbc schools website. It's keeping him happy and quiet

DONE

Make bed
Put grey bin out
Make Ed's bed, It was full of books
Tidy the Ed room
Put all the books back in the bookcase
Put dry laundry away
deal with phonecalls

Off again

we've made xmas biscuits (already eaten by ds1 and his friend) but dough was quite plain..and not too sticky so might tryit again in greater quantity - I loved finding all my xmas cutters in the xmas box, bell, reindeer, stocking and stars in every size

played old style Happy Families - a game of ruthless cunning and tongue twisting
tidied up a bit
bit of piano
talked to two friends on phone

glad Ed is feeling a bit more himself Grouchy
we have the books in the bed - they all read themselves to sleep except dd who needs cat or human company

Swan - there were over 10 in there! he's a book worm. This was in there, I think your DD might like it! It is a cracking book

indeed she might!
just swept terrace, now bagging up the slimeypiles
3 green parrots quarrelling in tree next door, we live in tropical climes here

swan If you live in tropical climes, can you invite me to come and sip pina coladas?

leo and overflowing I've not been on the website at home since last night. I've been to the library itself to use their computer which is much faster!

Right. Time to write some cards.

Sympathies Ruby.

Today:
Recycling - done
feed dc - doing
DC to gymnastics (ask about tickets).
Buy food
laundry rebooted

DS very excited about school play, had to step into the breech and be a cow at the last minute!

I won a prize in raffle - lots of soap. DD very pleased.

I WAS having a nice day, until I decided to get the kids to write their Xmas cards.
They can't spell any of their friends' names or indeed the word Christmas.

Hi everyone,

My DS just been called to Headteacher's office today to read a book from Stage 5 of Oxford Reading tree (he is in Reception and all others still on stage 1 or on learning phonemes so he is advanced) - he was very pleased to be finally getting recognition, I think! We are very proud of him for just doing his best, of course.
