[ImdreamingofaGROUCHYxmas]

Morning all, BBL with the links

hi girls,
Tea nice to see you back, with a list! Sorry for awful weekend, but it's only bedding and a house as i'm sure you keep telling yourself! Your mother !
OFM keep
grouchy thanks for thread LOL at potatoes
everyone sorry no time for more, DD is pestering me for play and tidy her bedroom!
BBL

Afternoon all just popped on to say hi. Having a busy day looking up info for my PGCE interview on Thursday as this is the only free day that I have so I have no time to stop but just wanted to stop by and say hi and hope you are all ok

OFM - The woman in the carpark was clearly a loon who either has no children (and therefor is a perfect mother ) or has/had children and feels guilty about her own parenting. You were quite right to point out to DD1 that she does not need more/bigger/better. I have been doing quite a bit of this with my DC recently too. You and your (sounds lotally lovely) dh are giving your children a lovely family Christmas with all the warmth, magic and sparkle that they could wish for . More importantly you are giving them this all the time (not just at Christmas). A similar thing has happened to me so I know how it feels but please put her thoughtless comments out of your mind. .

MC - keep concentrating
OFM - that is a list to be proud of.
Wendy - hi
Wolf - I don't have a tumble drier, it is a different world certainly - a world festooned with socks

Very pleased with myself [sad plodding emoticon] for bagging up some garden rubbish, and getting through day with relative good humour.
Bathroom is also cleaned!!
Beavers/Cubs play tonight. I am sorry to say I am glad that ds1 isn't it, at least I don't have organise his costume I have to stand backstage the entire performance leading the Beavers in song and prompting, and hoping ds2 doesn't play his drum out of turn.

wOAH, HARK ofmella Lawson there! I'm shattered just reading that list. You are a stunning mum.

I've made the evening meal (Ed helped, meatballs and spaghetti) just the pasta to do. It will have to wait as DH's bus broke down and the new one has just come. Ho hum. All bedtime routines done so it's pretty easy now

Cheery bye ladies
