Ooh, Frizbe, that doesn't sound good. I hope you can get it sorted for less than that.

Did you take the game boxes back to sainsburys?

I had a lovely day at the spa yesterday. I felt all grown up, and had a wonderful treatment, plus a whole day of me-time

I've had all my friends here today for mulled wine and mince pies, and tomorrow I need to shop. Not looking forward to having to take all threee kids with me on the ice though. My only chance of getting out alone is if the weather is too bad for dp to get to work.

Are we all ready for Christmas then?
(I still haven't got a main present for dd2 and ds)

CantSleepWontSleep · 21/12/2009 22:13

Oh get the TV Jas. I thought it was a fine idea.

Am crossing my fingers for Ocado being able to get here through the ice and snow tomorrow night, as otherwise we're screwed!

What did Sains say Friz? That is terrible really. You shouldn't need to check the boxes really should you.

CantSleepWontSleep · 21/12/2009 22:14

Oh bugger - just realised that I haven't sent your shoes yet Jas. Just as an alternative to posting them, would it be easy for you to pick up from Roydon Hamlet, or from mrm if I gave them to her on 30th?

Jas · 21/12/2009 22:24

I need to make a decision by tomorrow, as we are going to be away wed/thurs, but dp will have to buy it as there is no way I am driving on this ice, and I think the children would notice if I tried to put it on the buggy

Pick up from where, csws?? Not got a clue where that is. Is it your inlaws?

Also gt no idea when I will see mrm next. All my holiday arrangements have changed in the past week, and may well be changing again.

I'm happy to wait if you can post them next year csws. There really is no rush

CantSleepWontSleep · 21/12/2009 22:25

It's just past Nazeing. But we can sort out in new year.

Jas · 21/12/2009 22:31

Alot closer to me. I've probably driven through it without realising then.

I def wouldn't be able to go anywhere until the children are back at school even if dp is working evenings, due to the 2 seat van/three childre issue.

mustrunmore · 22/12/2009 08:00

omg Friz, what a mare. Thats worse thsn dh getting the wrong game for ds1 and me just ssuming he was sensible enough to follow orders

So, there's TONS od snow, but no text yet to say school is closed. I'm gonna see if me ans ds2 can do something in nursery this morn, cos we've got drinks with the head at 11, so its not owrth going home and back again (home for 9.30 leave at 10.30), and then nursery is only 1.5 hrs this afternoon anyway
Hoping school issopen as its last day and I have eight items of ds1's lost proprty to find!

Flame · 22/12/2009 20:08

for your gran Friz and for the games.

I went to wrap my sister's book tonight to discover that a big chunk of the pages in the middle are glued in halfway up the page and then the top sliced off

Grr at the GD Tabs.

Um, forgotten most other things. Oh yes, Easter sounds good - no idea where it falls this year, I have a wedding 19th March...

I am pretty much all wrapped, and about to put the tree up (finally).

I can't get a coil fitted until 22nd Jan, and she says no sex until 6 weeks after fitting I tried to book the fitting appointment at the same time as my swabs one, but was told I couldn't, and now I have to wait ages. I get pregnant too easily to trust any other contraceptive.

Flame · 22/12/2009 20:10

Oh and we are about the only place in the country to have no soddin snow

Frizbe · 22/12/2009 23:19

Oh Flame {{hugs}} for no snow, can you pop up to Winchester, apparently they have some? Couldn't you get the implant fitted instead? might be quicker on appointments?
re the book, wasn't the kids was it?
(was it from Borders?)

Jas, a day of wine and pies sounds lovely I think you should go with the TV idea.

MRM still at school I had no idea that anyone was!

CSWS, Sainsbo's here in my town.....I took them back this am, and they said 'no reciept, tricky' (I got rid of the reciepts to stop dh finding out what I'd got him, stupidly),so I said look its your stickers on the boxes, I think I did the transaction on my debit card, it will certainly be showing on my nectar card records, and if you do a stock check you will see that you have more discs than boxes!!! they said find the dates on your bank statements, so I went to the car and handily went back with my statements upto end of Nov (year end at work! so had 'em on me! much to their surprise) so now they're looking into it for me......to be honest I'm not expecting much joy, but you never know. I'm annoyed at myself for not checking the pile of stuff in the first place, but as the stuff on top was ok, I'd assumed it all was.......

Meanwile car stories....got a 2nd opinion today off my dad's mate (retired, used to have his own garage) and its the wheel bearings, so I went back to my local garage, informed them, and its going back in tomorrow morning to be repaired not such an expensive job after all, but at the garage, not had problems with them before, but not such good service this time me thinks......

Flame · 23/12/2009 08:43

Tempted to drive to Winchester - have a friend there. More rain here.

No to implant, can't do hormones - the coil is a copper one.

Book was for my sister, so not too much problem. Meri said as it is a publisher problem the shop should just change it for me.

[ @ your car.

mustrunmore · 23/12/2009 09:59

Sorry Friz ans csws, I just realised I didnt say anything about your Gran/GD . But you know I mean well.
Friz, there really isnt a day goes by that I dont think of my Nan. She was just so cool. I think I'm becoming more and more like herein many ways as I get oldr too! (not that I'm cool)

ok so school was open but closed at 1pm not 2.30 due to the ice, so there was no nursery for ds2 as it starts at 1. He was a bit upset. But we still went there anyway to get my christmas pressie from his teacher . Xmas drinks in the staff room were postponed till New year tho
ds1's teacher is sorted, as they still had tons of food left fom the party on Monday!

Lazy day tody as dh is off, so he's gone on errands with ds2; me and ds1 are milling around here, he's doing some crafts.

Frizbe · 23/12/2009 21:02

Oh don't worry MRM there are lots more things going on! Sorry your drinks got postponed, bummer....

Flame, darn, I forgot about that...'snip' dh then, its the only way mwah hahahahahaha

So what's everyone been upto today then?

I've had kids to play,fetched car from garage (got apology, apparently it should have been picked up on MOT check and staff have been spoken too!) been to Meri's for natter with other mums n CAKE! yummy, hairdressers for girls, home for the plumber (my heating broke last night, he came last call of the day to sort my thermostat out and said 'don't pay me till next year, just in case something else goes wrong! fingers x'd it doesn't and yay for not paying him till next year and lets face it, I keep him in business, as this system generally breaks twice a year......due to being fitted by cowboys in the 1st place..) I'm ready to go back to work tomorrow for the peace and quiet!

Flame · 23/12/2009 23:09

lol @ keeping the plumber in business

The plan is for me to be snipped, but I want to wait at least 12 months (want to be at the 12 months feeding stage before I mess about with anaesthetic if at all possible). I know I never want any more pregnancies, so it is for my own peace of mind iyswim. DH can get snipped if he wants, but I know there is no way in hell my mental state could handle another pregnancy.

mustrunmore · 24/12/2009 09:39

Flame, I always think its a shem they didnt do me while they were in thewre getting ds2 out! Dh prob wouldve got snipped anyway cos he's so so so adament never to have any more offspring. But uif ut'd been me not him, I wouldnt have to hear 'but its not as bad as when I got snipped' every time one of us is ill

Friz, our plumber lives a 3 hour drive away. Dont ask!

So, we've got a friend popping by this morn so the kids cab exchange poundland gifts then we're off to see Daddy at work cos he'ssgonna let the boys do some of the switching off (they close early today, so we should be out by 3.30pm). I made packed lunch, and it was supposed to include some far-far tubes as snacks, but ds2 appears to have scoffed them all for breakfast!

V proud of myself for already having bought next years xm,mas cards in the half price sale

mustrunmore · 24/12/2009 15:52

So, dh finished shift at 3.30. But he'sstill here cos the boys have 'helping'

Frizbe · 24/12/2009 18:33

Just finished work here, am shattered! bath for me hopefully will revive me....
Cards already, well done MRM I'll be off to get mine next week!

Flame, sounds like a plan, although it is a very major op for us women, so make sure, you're sure.

Merry Xmas to you all if I don't get on here tomorrow to say it! enjoy and don't get too stressed out by it all (if you can help it)

mustrunmore · 24/12/2009 22:55

Not just catds Friz... Boots half price has started online, so I've got ds2's bday and dh'd bady and a few other bday things sorted

Phoenix · 26/12/2009 14:58

Flame · 26/12/2009 15:00

mustrunmore · 26/12/2009 15:01

6 year olds in Ben10 masks are creepy
3 year olds on xms day are a pest.

Phoenix · 26/12/2009 15:04

Aren't 3 year old's always a pest or is that just mine?

5mth olds are boring on christmas day Just like any other day for him.

CantSleepWontSleep · 26/12/2009 21:21

You were too late telling me about the boots sale mrm - the leapster2 game that I would have got for dd was already out of stock (she got leapster for Christmas).

Good but tiring Christmas here. Off to bed v shortly.
