The last one out forgot to start a new thread!

[blueberryboybait]

Morning, hope you all find me!

Me too

Obv only for SS though, have no idea what to buy my own family

evening all
one of you has really made me smile... i decided to buy something for my SS because thought it would be too obvious if i sewed something but i've been commissioned to make a SS present on behalf of someone else

Crispy - I am so organised I have DH's birthday for Friday sorted and wrapped, all the pressies for those living under our roof sorted but am bound to forget where I have put them all when I come to wrap them.

lordy - you lot are putting me to shame will have to get finger out!!

Bibi - I seem to have alot of time on my hands at the moment I have NEVER been so organised before so am sure I will forget something - possibly collecting the turkey and his pal!

oh i haven't got the ss present from me yet but i will do by the 15th, obviously

Cece Great news, fingers crossed for you.

Salta We were at an Xmas party yesterday and K was playing with a silver bauble. A younger little girl was desperate for it and kept saying 'share share share.' Made me laugh, you're talking to the wrong child there Missy! Although he did label all the pictures on some cubes for me so it is hard to tell if he atcually pretends not to understand a lot of things.

Well, I've had a funny evening here. I wrote a song for DH in the car, recorded it on the laptop sound recorder (kids had a v late tea!), emailed it to my composer BF and she wants to develop it for her a capella quartet to perform next year! Even DH loves it and it's so not his thing (it's kind of a 40s/50s jazz belter, Ella Fitzgerald meets White Christmas.) Will let you guys have first peek when it's got some more vocal parts. V chuffed with myself, it kind of wrote itself (will therefore turn out to be utterly plagiarised LOL.)

Well done on the composing silks, sounds great . I sent you a text earlier re the printer btw......

Posting by the 15th it is

check you out silky - can't wait to hear it

BBBB Who is the turkey's pal?

sorting things by the millions. tomorrow is packed from 5A until 7P. sitter here THANKFULLY for some of it. still have 80% of my christmas cards to complete, one particular THANK YOU note, the SS gift, all the IL presents (SURPRISE they are going to be here for Christmas on the 12th!). my droidx smartphone arrived and maybe i'll have it up and running by january. dh still not home from work but both dcs bathed and ready for bed. coffee and cinnamon roll for dinner. i might be hungry in a bit. shopping list in process. must remember to have dinner-something set aside for sitter to feed the girls. it's 8P....not time to waste. hugs. night.

Breathe TS, breathe, there's plenty of time!

star ouch for J, hope he is OK (and you are). It' a good job our babies are made of rubber...

cece I am v pleased that your DH's hearing wasn't a complete stitch-up; fingers crossed they get to the truth ad he's exonerated, plus gets a massive bonus as compensaion for hurt feelings

Am waiting for my train to leave Doncaster which it should have done nearly 20 minutes ago. Waiting for a train is much nicer on the laptop with a cup of tea. Absolutely shed loads more snow (well another inch or two last night but that is LOADS for Wakey) so not risking my newly mended car on slippy roads today

Hurrah, it's set off, only 25 minutes late, I can go to work after all. Why am I hurrahing???

Morning all

Fjorgyn - I hope it make it all the way in one journey and not lots of stops on the way.

Silk - his pal is a chicken inside a duck inside a turkey with various layers of stuffing inbetween he also had a gammon pal.

Made it with not too much bother, although can't feel my toes. My dishy colleague (my boss as from today, eek!) was on the M1 at 6 and had to turn back as it wasn't even gritted

Mmmmm to your turkey's pal bbbb, they sell those in asdas too

Hope you get to work Fjorn......and home again! The East coast has had a right dumping by the sound of it. I am off soon to slide to the gym & swimming and then a friends for lunch. We really should have gritted the end of the drive

PMSL @ TS. Xmas cards 0%, presents bought 20%, arrangements for visiting people at xmas 25% sorted. I am in zen calm denial about it all.....

Very poor show from your new boss Fjorn. I really think you should give him a dressing down

I remember as a child that one of our mum's friends used to send her cards on 1st December and we thought she was weird because that was soooo early. This year DD got a card on 29 November form one of her friends . We need to stop stressing, it's only Christmas

Crispy I like your suggestion [bad wife]

i think that we must be the only place in the uk to escape the snow only a tiny bit and lots of ice dd1 gutted..

got my ss and it will suprise you all when i said dh helped ...

lots of cooking and tidying here today and off to brave the shops in a mo

hope day goes as planed ts

fjor a dishy bosss

cece so pleased things went well for dh

Fuck me it's chucking down with snow now. Might have to finish at lunchtime if this carries on not that I do much work anyway

Enya it must be disappointing for your DD to not get much/any snow (but not my DD who is such a wuss she doesn't like being cold) but much better for grownups [old gimmer]

Right, time for more coffee and then maybe some actual work

Good show Enya's DH, so nice to hear evidence of him seeing you as a real life person at last. Have you looked into any more evening courses etc for the new year? Doesn't have to be goal-oriented, anything that looks vaguely interesting to you. Important thing is to get you out and about and be marked on the calendar as sacred as his outings and also having something to talk about that isn't home-related.

Hate Wednesdays, it's always a comedown from work and my mum, sis and BF are always out. Really need to get some more friends! Or do some housework. Christmas is coming along nicely here, 80% pr

esents done I think. We don't do Christmas cards for longlost ecowarrior reasons, cept for old folks with no email obviously. Really must finish the tree decorations I started in January! But have been knitting little red bells as a handbag project, will string them up instead of tinsel this year.

Have decided to farm out most of the shiny crap and just keep some for the kids' 3' tree in the kitchen.

and finally -

I wanted a [fbear]

tis snowing now .. but if it get bad dh will be collecting dd1 from school,i don't travel in snow ..

silks dd2 starts preschool three mornings a week in march so will definitely be investigating things... dh has changed so much for the better,back to the way he was, he still goes out every now and again but it it is good for both of us iykwim
