Wouldn't you think they'd let up in the last week of term but no....

[debinaustria]

Today ds has 10 words to learn and copy out 3 times, sentences to copy, 5 times table to learn (again) - apparently he told the teacher I didn't have time for him!!!!!! and reading.

Then this week he has another times table test, a reading comprehension on Thursday, and Deutsch test - dictation on Friday. I was foolishly asking him before if they did anything special on Friday being the end of term - oh yes - another test!!!!!!!

Prefer my own too - that's what makes me laugh about ds1 & his "your homemade gravy" when it's synthetic packet Bisto browning.

Am off to the winery buying a present for bil (any excuse) so am wishing all those in the deutschsprechende Umgebung and beyond a

Frohe Weihnachten and may your bells be jingly and your Gluehwein gluehend

And your mil stay far away. Must buy more gin too.

That reminds me I must get some more drink - I think it does help the bah humbug to relax abit. Have a nice German Christmas finknottle, hope your MIL behaves.

Hope you have a great Christmas admylin and Finknottle. We're off on the 27th. Isn't it TOO cold here at the moment? Way too cold!

Frohe Weihnachten to all the Austrian and German crowd out there, where ever you're celebrating. Have a good break and please no one dismembers their MIL without checking here first!

Have a nice time sssandy - are you off to somewhere warm? If dh has a brilliant interview on the 28th he might come back in a good mood and take us off somewhere too.
