The last one out forgot to start a new thread!

Morning, hope you all find me!

Lordy, have to say I'm glad K isn't the only one doing the proper 2yr old thing.

Had a great day yesterday, crackodawn swimming lessons, family trip to library and got the kids' passport pics done, K's is hilarious as they gave him a biscuit so he has a v self-satisfied smirk (apparently under 5s get relaxed rules on smiling.) Then we took tea over to MIL who's still fairly immobile after foot surgery and got a bit depressed as usual about how flippin autistic FIL is and how they are each other's carer. I just wish we could convince them to sell up and buy a flat/bungalow/house with downstairs loo here so I could fit her in my daily routine (ok they only live 10miles away .) They are just not considering the future, as if this foot surgery is going to stop her breaking her hip one day.
Rant over, is just me avoiding the task of building DD's new wardrobe which has been sat in its box for weeks.
Have a nice day y'all.

Brrr its cold in my house/8///

O is helping me type so excuse the odd digit here and there.

Did anyone else drool over watch the Take That documentary last night

L conked out on the couch and E and D playing nicely.

Heating on here and we're all still in pyjamas

didn't see the TT documentary - DH and I were watching The Hangover again for some mindless laughs!

We too are having a proper winter Sunday: DS playing with his toys, DH on the sofa watching Deal Or No Deal, me cooking jacket spuds and (home made) baked beans. It's parky out! Had a nice walk in the park this morning but was very brrr.

our fake but very beautiful christmas tree is up. the girls and i will decorate it this week. it really looks just lovely with only lights. i am planning for a very crazy week. dh will be out of town most of it. i have a green school initiative meeting on monday. i have a playground expansion meeting on wednesday. hopefully our troop meeting location will be solid by then too. i spend last night planning part of the first meeting. i might start on christmas cards this week. they are back from the printer and look great. dd2 has a shot due this week or next. i should double check that. time is slipping away from me today. meeting family in a little over an hour for late lunch. the sky is grey but the autumn leaves are very vibrant. the reds look the prettiest today. a deer is running across our neighbor's yard. FOCUS! i have to stay on track and quit sitting here gazing out the window, typing a long post that has no relevance.

Sounds nice bb star and ts

Had a great afternoon - took boys swimming and their electronics were down so I couldn't pay by card and had no cash. The lady let me in for free! Then when we got in the changing room I realised I had left my swimming costume at home adn was just telling T we would have to go home when one of the mums from school said "oh, I bought 3 costumes with me, would you like to borrow one?" How lucky was that!!!
Now home and starving, just waiting for our cooked dinner courtesy of dh.

Might name change back to CC...?

Wardrobe done! 5 hours of slog and a little lifting/tightening from DH, plus many cups of tea from DD who has decided a brownie needs to be able to make tea. I'm not used to this much caffeine!

The kids have played really nicely here all day too, together and apart. Much Dr Who and Sarah-Jane roleplay and DS1 has been playing with 2 wooden dolls called Noah and Olivia-when-she-was-little - "They appear to be at the circus" he says. Kurt has been happily ripping up polystyrene all ove the living room...

evening
DS in bed half hour early tonight. i may well regret it in the morning but i figured it would just mean dh can see him for longer before he goes to work

arse, my early bed plan is really backfiring

mine till running riot here too

someone has nominated me for something. now who was it?! and what is it?! I never check the email that MN uses to keep in touch so I only just found out today

LOL hippy. DD2 was sent to bed in disgrace 1/2hr early last night and luckily (after some protestation) didn't affect her waking and she slept through for the first time in weeks

Bloody hell silk 5hrs . We have a new wardrobe arriving next week - it had better not take that long. I did have a snigger about MrSilks doing some 'tightenings'

Went shopping today and bought this dress. I have nowhere to wear it to as work Xmas do is a lunch, but DH has said he will take me out for a meal so i can wear it. I fear it is a tad dressy for most restaurants though?

Nice one on the free swimming cece

TS/Star your days sound lovely and homely

Computer keys sticking here, so shall try anmd solve that and return later

Yes we are trying early night in bed - as in not cot - and it's not going that well (I lurk here you notice...)

LOL Bibi it can't be the FPG for you again can it? Hope it's to win a car or something.

Urg they are calling...

I doubt it Ursula I doubt it very much!!

I nominated you for a custard tart in the noggin. Can't believe they actually paid attention.....

Sorry, this is the dress. Mine is a very dark teal colour

it's absolutely lovely Crips

Yes, but where does one actually wear it? . And what would i wear on my feet

ooh I had some lovely navy shoes - not sure if I still have them, what size are you?!

LOL, thanks bibi, am 6.5, but the dress is teal colour. WOuld that work?

Gorgeous dress Crisp, I would totally wear that to a restaurant :) You could bling it up with some silver heels or go for black patent courts.

Also got these boots for DD1. Lets hope they don't rub the skin off her little toe like the last Hush Puppies ones did...

gorgeous dress crisp

congrats bibi

hiya star

good luck ursula

crisp - I'm an 8 so no use and I hadn't realised it was teal sorry go with silver or gold depending on accessories OR vamp it up with purple or hot pink

hippy - am not convinced it isn't a 'congrats on not topping yourself this year' nomination but thank you

am off to sniff your FB page photos, in between setting up the online shops for T and KnB

Ursula - congrats on the big move, I'm still putting it off she was in again with us last night
