August 08 - We three kings of orient are, one in a taxi one in a car..

[steaknife]

...one on a scooter beeping his hooter, smoking a fat cigar

Apologies to the goodly and the good amongst us.

Godly and the good

Or even goodly and the god

Tis quicker

DD2 now waddling round in her grobag chasing balloons

Only for going down, surely?

and grinning [tinker]

Oh sorry, you need help getting out?

DD has stopped singing so I might try to get to bed without waking her and hopefully she will go till morning. Fingers crossed and all.

Night night ladies.

Not sure how my pooter fixing will go so might not see you for a while. I expect the tent christmas party to be in full swing when I get back.
Do we have a stationery/ary? cupboard for foolhardy festive snoggin?

Quick build me a snoggin cupboard, Sazz has ordered me a fireman. [overexcited meeping]

Hello emergency services

No, no absolutely not madam you can't have a hunky fireman

No, I don't care if its to lower your friend down a hole

No, I'm not joking, this is an emergency line and I will have your mobile cut off if you don't stop calling 999

sheesh, its like being at work

You're going to bed. He's all mine

Hope you get some sleep

Bloody jobsworth spoilsport

Glamis castle was lovely, in laws not so much it was -3 though [brrrr] Santa was lovely, and a I managed not to cry this year and the girls enjoyed the story telling and the carriage ride which was the main thing - not cheap but really really nicely done and not over subscribed so no waiting which is brilliant

No1 - lovely to see you back, sorry about the lurgy and there are still some tickets left for Pearly Jam

Steaky - glad your puter is back on form

oops sounds like you had a lovely LOVELY well deserved night/lie in

Red thanks for today's lesson, I think I may be off the day I have to deliver mine so as not to embarrass myself

sazz how is PapaSazz doing? loving the idea of the hamper btw my dad is getting a book about our local village, calendar of the girls, box of thorntons special toffee, tube of fruit pastilles (family joke) and thats about all I've got at the minute [meep] all suggestions gratefully received

well done on getting the christmas shopping finished ladies I've done and wrapped the ones that will be going home with the inlaws but apart from that the rest are hidden upstairs in boxes - will have to sort them all this week sometime

LWFH how are you darling? hope keeping well and cockroach free - has Mr Longway been shown how to post when Baby Longway appears

DD2 now doing various yoga positions

Glad to hear your day with the girls was fab dizz. Just block out the IL's bit
PapaSazz is back to his normal condition (effects of the cold and urine infection passed), but it is a pretty bad base condition IYSWIM, so he is convinced he will not see next Xmas so no point in any presents with longevity. The thing is no one really knows, or is telling at any rate

Can i have a book of your local village? . Only obviously once a recommendation oof the local cafe is included

Do you think we need to send out an IL rescue party for TS?

DD2 now reading Thomas and The Ghost Engine. Upside down

Now playing lego

Do you think she is playing me up on the 'i am truly ill mummy' front? [suspicious]

oh bless her, I think she thinks she's keeping YOU company!!!

fully understanding of the PapaSazz mentality and have no great advice for you sorry

FIL actually wandered off and left D unattended because he spotted someone he knew at home DH utterly furious and apparently going to have words tomorrow I am however more angry at myself as he has previous and should have known better than to think he was watching her am trying not to get too hung up on it all as they are here doing us a favour looking after the girls but bloody hell tis hard work and to top it all after 4 days of shitey late shits & a week of the PIL, my dad arrives on Mon and will no doubt be full of woes and hard done by tales - not sure my nerves can take it [meep]

No1 forgot to mention that Pearl Jam is in Belfast so it merits a weekend away - am NO we will NOT be staying with the inlaws

VG - I tried to get tickets for Dublin but they were all sold out - obviously a higher grungy/goth following down there !! how is Mamma VG? and is DS1 still doing ok at the new school?

btw I still haven't opened my secret santa - am I the only one?!

You may be right dizzy but she's happy as larry, i'm not too tired and i can't be doing with a fight into the cot
and hope she might lie in in the morning
at PIL's leaving D unattended. Just glad all was ok and DH promising a few words. You definitely are due to keep the DIL/D crown for some time

Oh, bless her little cottons. I just went to spy on what she is up to next door and she is trying to build towers out of wooden blocks. She had managed 5

I have never seen her do anything constructive before

thank you

I didn't manage to switch off from late shift last night till 1am, L was up at 3am and needed persuading to go back to bed and D was up UP at 5.45 its been a very long day - when we were on our way back from the castle I stopped in Morrisons and had a sleep in the car park

You are very welcome

LOL at Morrisons kip , but seriously you must be shattered. Go to bed now

I went to play blocks with DD2 and all she did was build a couple and knock them over when she knew i was watching . Back in teh cot now, no screaming yet, so will give her 5 and then i am off to bed

I can't am now too stuck on Shiney's thread tis like a car crash

I know. Or maybe her and BoF are making it all up, i can't believe a random bloke would text that . Very funny though regardless

right sweetie, am off as it all begins again tomorrow, hopefully later than 5.45

hope E sleeps well for you

not as yet
