evening all
Natty...no worries lovely; I just mentioned incase it had gone adrift in the post.
Well, we didn't get finished until gone 1am on Christmas morning...next year I will be organised!! But, bumble did a four hour stint so I at least had some sleep. But, I have tonsilitis and felt pretty shit all day yesterday and today...and bumble has gone nocturnal. He didn't settle until 5 this morning. DH and I are at each others throats as we are both ill and tired ans struggling to cope with the older two....who are also grumpy with cold, teething and overexcitement. It's now a competition to see who can hold out longest when one or other of them start crying .
The Wii is great though, DD loves her new bike and the dolls house she got from the PILs, but the biggest hits of her toys have been the box of Little Robots duplo that DS bequeathed her and a pile of loose change and a money tin that cost £1.50 in Poundstretcher!!
MIL was her usual self. I told her ages ago we were having lamb.....she told me "I don't eat meat, just a little chicken" (everytime we go out for lunch though she eats a big plate of roast and all the trimmings ). so we tried to get some chicken, but none to be had when DH did the shop so he bought a turkey crown instead. Came to serve up the food "turkey, mum?" asked DH...."No, not for me, I'll just have a little slice of lamb" . He started trying to talk her round...are you sure etc etc etc.....so I jumped in and told her that we'd only got it because she had said she didn't eat meat when I mentioned lamb. She ate it!!! she drives me potty. DH just laughs it off and says "ooh that's mums for you" but she is particularly contrary. Still it was a good day; I was determined not to let her spoil it for me the old witch.
Now, if we could only sort out the nocturnal baby.
