Happy christmas everyone

Our heating packed up last night!arrghhh - luckily we bought a new oil heater on thursday! The guy lives in the village so he has been round this morning to fix it - was very straight forward - love that man!!! love love love

I have opened my secret santa - is super cute pair of pyjamas with trees on - very very cute - ernie can wear them tonight - will take a pic and post into profile later. Thank you babybots!

Lovely morning - too much stuff - have hidden half the pressies in the garage - they don't know hee hee - will take them out later and sneak them into the lounge!

Got some lovely pressies - clothes, handbag, perfume and my smallprints necklace - very pleased!

Right - off to sort ernie out - he is overtired now and still in pjs - needs a wash and warm clothes on!

Glad you know who your SS is Jenny and she has been in touch - I'm sure she will have bought something.

Have a wonderful day everyone xxxx

Hello everyone!! Happy Christmas.

I am very late, it was bonkers here so couldn't get on.

I LURVE my knitted soaker in lovely plum colours, and the girls are delighted with their extra gift too. I haven't tried them on yet, will post pic as soon as her ladyship's mood allows!

I am so pleased it fits and is ok 4, that is great. You can swap if it isn't suitable you know. I know it isn't strictly fluff but it is a fluff show off . Hopefully one of the girls will fit it in the summer. I thought now it would be lovely with leggings.

Glad everyone is pleased with their ss, and that Jenny has a bedpoke one on the way..

Merry Christmas everyone!

Some lovely secret santa pressies!

Success here so far, Jasper Conran perfume from the kids dad, Connor got some sheepskin boots and a handknitted peruvian cardigan with beautiful embroidery from my mum. Lewis main pressie was a wooden garage and Elliots a kid tough camera (and the batteries lasted til 2pm!)

Dinner went well, as in nobody complained anything was under/over cooked lol.

They are quietly watching Numberjacks Xmas special now. Some photos on fb of Connor in new Snugglepants.

I was myjob . I'm just glad you like them...I was worried about them not being girlie enough (as well as the sizing obviously as I only had my chunkster to go on sizewise)

I don't have a clue who my SS was...will need to do some detective work

I did myjob; they look good on
bumble up half the night last night; thankfully DH did mosyt of the sitting up with him though! I am on tbhe early shift, but my back has gone again so I'm in a lot of pain, and the kids' perfect mood of yesterday has degenerated into fighting and tantrums this morning not helped by them raiding the chocolates when I went to the kitchen to make a cup of tea

gtg split them up again!

My wooly pants were done for the same length of time myjob and have been fine, but that yarn seems a lot more dense so may take more of a soaking. I haven't had a chance to get mine lanolised at all; will wait now until they need a wash, but he is wearing them as pjs over a sposie and is still in them today so that wash will be needed sooner rather than later.

Soooo frustrated with the OOH service; it used to be fab round here but now takes an age. Before, if you phoned you would be straight through to a nurse who would put you straight through to a doctor who would make you an appointment. Now, you get someone who takes details than arranges a nurse call back, who then arranges a doctor to call, wh then arranges for someone to call with an appointment. We first called at 10am and have only just got the appointment through! DH is taking him and i've told him not to leave without a prescription for ABs, more calpol and more ibuprofen!!

Just checking in here too - mine have been a bit crazy today too! My sister's bf arrived from the US and the boys went wild! Moment's peace as dh has taken ernie for a walk while I tidy up a bit.

Have eaten all my choccies Was so stuffed by 6pm last night, watched harry potter for a bit then went to bed at 10pm! Woke up at 9am hee hee Bliss!

Haven't got round to doing any photos yet but may do some work tonight as dh needs to do some and we basically have visitors til 3rd January (apart from 29th) so need to catch up on stuff.

My sister opened my stock cupboard and suggested I get some storage boxes, I said I did have storage boxes and directed her towards stack underneath the mound of bags and longies Def job for next day or so lol And a stock take would be a good idea.

Baby bots - we need to meet up at some point soon - pretty hectic here - 29th would be okay but am going nowhere near the Mall lol! Have invited Jabula round to collect some bits and drool at the fluff mountain - will let you know when and maybe we could have a mini christmassy meet up??

Right - feeling motivated to sort cupboard out! Catch you all later

4CALLINGBIRDSandnotout · 26/12/2009 21:01

Just a quick check in

I have been well and truely spoilt this year with make up, handbags,clothes,bath products a digi camera, and have had a fantastic couple of days.

The kids have been brilliant with a couple of late nights and early mornings yet no tears or tantrums, they have been angels and have loved their presents so i'm really very safisfied with my lot atm!

I really must make an appointment for a smear test though as have had some worrying symptoms again, so need to get it checked asap. I must steel myself and just get it over with!

My brother in law and sister in law and 4 nephews are coming to visit the inlaws tommorow so will head over there again tommorow. I need to hit the sales soon to get the dd's nye outfits.

Octohohohoho · 26/12/2009 23:02

Babybots · 26/12/2009 23:23

Evening All!

Daisy i hope you and bumble have a better night!

Octo - Dh is off till after new year and We are going away tomorrow, not back till Monday Pm so might have to give 29th a miss. Let me know times etc though and if im fed up with Dh's company by then i'll escape your way , Would Deffo be up for a meet up although not in a major rush having a bit of a rest at the moment. Oh by the way love the monsters bags and pink birds... [hmmm i must not have more!]

Right im just poping in quick got to get on with packing - going to Norwich in the morning to BIL's overnight. Just packed up our nicest nappies to take!

Octohohohoho · 26/12/2009 23:33

Hello Babybots!!

Yes - very yummy - my fave by far is lorenza - very stroke-able!!! Fluff heaven.

Easy when to meet - will email jabula. Any day will be fine - just have lots of visitors apart from 29th. But can have a fluffy hour!!

Hope you are having fun

Vx

Octohohohoho · 27/12/2009 00:06

IttiBitti are £10.20 on craftynclothy - wow!

Octohohohoho · 27/12/2009 10:10

Morning all!

Just getting more work done before FIL arrives - may even venture out for a walk!

I def need storage boxes - need advice though - would you sort products into sizes or patterns? Which is most effective way of finding what you want? I normally do by pattern so can see them easily - but if in sizes just need to look through the one box iyswim??!! What would you do?

swampster · 27/12/2009 10:49

Sizes, deffo.

4CALLINGBIRDSandnotout · 27/12/2009 10:54

Morning all

I'm trying to tidy up but keep the kiddies new toys accessable for a while but it is bita of a pita! Everytime i tidy up enough to run the hoover round i turn around and the floor is covered in animal rescue vehicles!

Octo i'd sort by size i think.

Babybots so you are in my neck of the woods today then! I was born in Norwich and my brother still lives there, i live near w
Swaffham

Another busy family filled day today, i really want to try my heated rollers and new make up out before we go anywhere today though, and i havent even bathed the kids yet!
