New thread for a new month. Yeah I know I have done it a day early but never mind.

Hello!

Going Christmas shopping now and then to a Christmas Party!

Hello everyone!
Good to see you are all loooking christmassy!
SR - wasn't sure whether you had meant "baubles" the first time round but had become "bubbles" in a wine induced haze!! HAve a lovely time at the CHristmas party.
Feeling a bit more christmassy myself now after going to a panto yesterday. A (who, BTW is walking unasisted now - [proud mummy emoticon])refused to go into the auditorium and started screaming everyime she went through the door so she and DH missed it but (I gather) had a great bonding session in the foyer! At least DD1 had a ball as did my 2 nephews...oh no they didn't...oh yes they did!!
Mamama - hope you little man hasn't suffered any side effects from his jab. Are flu jabs standard where you are?
A has her MMR tomorrow so will see how she is afer that - not expecting much drama.
Mummyhill - how are you doing? Not working too hard, I hope. Glad your nan is ok for now. How's your FIL?
Hope everyone else ok? Who's keeping track of the number of sleeps til Christmas???

Hello .

Still not managing to be on here much am I?

Will you believe me if I said that I will catch up one day ?

Went to see Nan last night and have to say that she is going down hill. She has decided that she has had enough now. So I think that we are all waiting to see if she either pulls through or slips away quietly. She's not fighting it so I am very much affraid it will be the leter rather than the former, if thats what she wants we have to respect it iykwim.

I am doing 32 hrs rather than 24 a week till christmas. and am feeling physically and emotionally drained.

Will keep a brave face on for the kids though.

Hello!

Sorry to hear about you Nan MH - I hope she perks up - its difficult when they have had enough - wanting to respect their wishes but also feeling so very sad to face lossing them.
Hope the 32 hours pay well. Feeling very skint as the slimming business has really 'slimmed' out!!! will be better off in January with the new year resolutions!

Hello Idris!

Hello Jaamy - I may well have meant baubles - I was very very drunk

Just had a qick chat with wabbitt - she is fine. N has tonsilitus(sp) and C is doing well. She is hoping to get into uni at some point this week and post a hello to us all.

SR - All we can do is wait. She has been telling us that she wants to go for at least 6 months now, I think she has only really held on to see my niece. It is terribly sad but it will be better for her, she is used to being really fit and energetic, in the last few months she has been gradually deteriorating and has reached a point where it is difficult for her to even do her housework, getting in and out of the flat is a mission and she is becomming confused. She doesn't like being like this and would hate to have to move in with a member of the family and be a 'burden' a nursing home would be even more abhorent to her so if she wants to go then we have to let her. We all understand that she is approaching the end and are doing our best to prepare ourselves for it.

I am just glad I have mumsnet where I can let off steam without upsetting my mum and my aunt. My sister may read my posts but we talk a lot on the phone anyway and I won't say anything here that I would discuss with her in real life iyswim.

Morning
hope all is good with every one.

Nan passed away this evening. Will be absent for a short while. Love to you all.

Hugs mummyhill. I'm so sorry.

Best wishes Mummyhill - thinking of you and your family xxx
