Hey ladies.

Had a busy weekend here, had dps' sister down here on Thurs/Friday.. wen shopping into Glasgow - she bought C a pair of Timerberlands for his xmas.... sooooo cute. My parents up Friday night/yesterday.

Dp and I took C into town last night as there is a Winter Wonderland type thing in one of the main squares - ice rink, huge xmas tree, fair ground etc. I took him on the horse carousel... he absolutely loved it, shrieking with delight all the way round. It was very special as it was dark but all the lights were twinkling - the sort of thing that memories are made of!!

Had a quiet day today - watching footie, then off out for Sunday dinner - very much in the festive mood.#

Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow.

IMBM - lol at your tree - as caz said, Christmas is for the children

Cbeebies was FAB J was a bit unsure at first, tearful and clingy, but after about 10/15 mins he was well into it We had excellent seats, 4 rows from the front, and at the end of the row, so J was dancing, singing and laughing his head off in the aisle. Was a bit in awe of Mr Tumble (think he got a bit star struck, lol)

I am We are really looking forward to going again next year when W can enjoy it too

Off now to enjoy some mint Matchmakers which dh picked up earlier.....he has his uses

DippyChristmas · 16/12/2007 21:05

Glad you DS enjoyed himself, runny!! - did you not take the opportunity to personally assisinate Mr Tumble while he was in close proximity!!!? (Evil one!)

LOL @ your Christmas tree IMBM Fab!!

I am covered in paint and glitter glue - Mammouth art & craft session with older DD's today

geordiemacminxpie · 16/12/2007 21:16
