[Macdog]

Get your buns over here....NOW!!!

Guess who's done ALL their Christmas shopping then!!

Took dd to see George Square in Glasgow today. All lit up for Christmas. She went on the Carousel (getting to be an addiction) and had great fun.

So cold and foggy today, been freezing my ass off all day.

Highlight of the day was some pipers playing the Hokey Cokey - complete with actions - in Buchanan Street

Pipers sound fab. I love the weather right now. I've nearly finished my Christmas shopping. I just need to find out if Blacks sell mapcases on line and I'm done.

I bought DD some party shoes yesterday as she hates her boots and as she turns 3, suddenly she is being invited to a load of parties. She absolutely LOVES them. these I went in to check on her last night and she had put them on and was asleep with her body on the bed, and her feet on the floor. SO cute.

But in a mauvey colour.

I've also written 80% of my Christmas cards and all the presents I DO have are wrapped and labelled [big fat raspberry]

Roast lamb with roasties carrots homegrown cabbage brocolli and beans for dinner.

pretty shoes

we're having meatballs and roast spuds

woke up to a power cut this morning
dd kept trying to blow the candle out

power on now, just getting her ready to go Toddlers - First Christmas party today.

You wouldn't believe how much better I feel now I've resigned

Bollards. Just walked into town with Ds who is still really sick. He was all snuggly and warm and cocooned and it was a lovely walk. Anyway I was trying to return a dress for dd in Debenhams without the receipt. Anyway it's bloody half price now. I've been through every bag, drawer, handbag, pocket and cannot find the bloody receipt and to top it all I forgot my purse, so couldn't even finish my Christmas shopping.

hate it when that happens

party went well, all the dcs were petrified of Santa, so cue loads of screaming

i had a mass wrapping session this morning, while ds2 was at nursery. looking at themm all in piles, its looks like ds2 has got lots more than ds1, but i have to keep remindning my self that hes has about £150 worth of lego in just 3 boxes which is a hell of a lot of presents, so for that ds2 has lots of things. hopefully ds1 wont notice dont know who im trying to kid!

have nearly all my cards written and actually gave one out too!!

i forgot ds1 was born on st andrews day. he has davis as his middle name though, should have had andrew really i guess. my grandad was scottish. how he ended up all the way down here i dont know!

not davis i meant david. when is st davids day? is it daffodil day? im going to have to search now...

1st march st davids day. yep daffodils and leeks are associated with him. we have no welsh blood though

theres no festive smileys yet

we have snow again!!
had to light a fire its sooo cold [brrr face]
3 days to go till the weekend.

ds1 is having 3 of his friends round for tea on staurday as he was sad he didnt have a birthday party, (his choice, he had the option of party or more presents)(even though really he would still of had the same presents)so they can have pizza and watch a film or something. just to keep him happy, then sunday we are going to get our christmas tree from the farm.
are you having a tree jenn??

we got black ice - not really as nice as snow

One of those days yesterday

dd took to screaming her head off, so bunged her in her buggy and took her out for a walk at which point the screams got ever louder until she was like an air raid siren going off.
Ended up in tears myself because I just couldn't get her to stop.
Brought her home and just as I got in the gate the wee bugger darling shut up.

she does have her back teeth breaking through so I'll let her off

poor macpup and mummy macpup.
the puppy has took to running up and down the room like a lunatic. some times he will take an alternative route of up the room and back again over the sofa. hopefully he will have worn himself out soon. he gets so over excited, by himself, we dont even have to do anything to him to be all excited.

have cleared corner ready for christmas tree, i usually have an old singer tredal base as the table in the alcove corner but i've had to move it now. it was bloody heavy. dp has wanted me to get rid of it for year, but i refused. i also have an old mangle in the front garden that i put plant pots on the top. he wants that to go also, but they arent going anywhere!!

Charity shop had sledges in today. Bought dd one. All we need now is snow......

Are we the ONLY place in the UK with no snow????

...

weve no snow either.
ds ill too. cough cold.
had no sleep past 6 nights.
slowly going insaneeeeeeeee

Whaddaya mean GOING insaneeeee

we got a 6ft fibre optic tree today half price in argos. i reserved it yesterday as they only had 1 in stock.
ds1and2 put it up and soon as ds1 got in from school. ds2 is beside himself with excitment and loves the lights everywhere.
he was dissapointed when we got my parents and they had no xmas lights up.

1 day left till the weekend!!!!!!!whoo hoo!!

we have no snow either, its just bloody freezing.
anyone have a woodburner? were thinking of getting one with some of my back pay if/when we get it. as we have no gas to the house the storage heaters are useless.

Am knackered.
went to look at the Woolies sale - came back with loads of clothes. dd just at stage of moving to next size, so would have bought them anyway. Got jeans, t-shirts, PJ's etc as well as trainers

Been away for HOURS
