We had that thick snow a few weeks ago Nicola, not so much un after a while. Hop Terry gets home tomorrow. Is it a hotel he works at?

LOL Basl, it was my dad, brother and sister. The Dark Side don;t do social gatherings much.

Dunoon · 21/12/2010 11:42

Morning!

Having left it quite late I am now getting slightly more organise and am out shortly to post cards and two last parcels. Also want to get some emergency food in case we don't make it to Grandma's for christmas. And crackers and stuff.

Not as much snow as I thought it would be, think it must have stopped fairly early and yes seems to be melting a bit. DP got train in to London fine.

Dunoon · 21/12/2010 11:45

Nipper not picked up yet.

horsemadgal · 21/12/2010 13:19

Yum at Dunoon's mince pie Xmas Grin
Gah to Nipper not being picked up Xmas Sad

basl · 21/12/2010 13:20

Glad to hear your getting organised Dunoon. I have to say i have no idea how on earth i would manage without my dh. Now this is not a relationship issue it's a nightmare when you can't drive and have a littlie. Just been to pick up Olivia from school and Daniel is so tired the now with all his acting up at night. He cried all the way to the school and all the way to the post office. I pushed both them as far as i could in the classic [bless the classic] then Daniel had a screaming hab dab in the post office. Everyone was staring and Olivia sat in the classic and refused to move. Daniel wanted picked up and snot flying everywhere.

I think the stress level was about 110% and i was so near to tears. The normally nice lady behind the counter was so not impressed by this screaming which made my lip treble in true basl style. Eventually got home and now they are happy as ever.

Olivia explained "Mum i needed the loo and i have got on party tights, it was so cold am sorry!!"

Feel awful now and must of looked a real stress head. What a red face. Well done and dusted now and lets move on. Xmas Grin
I said in temper "Well thankyou both very much! I will never be able to show my face in their again!!" Olivia replied "Ahhh just stuff them mum, Who cares " Xmas Shock wish i had her care free attitude.

bless her basl! she's such a little love really isn't she. They both have. Since luka i think i have such more understanding into why/when the strops come. He's such an intense little boy, and tbh most of the strops are justified really.

Oh sod the p.o woman just like olivia said.

It is hard work sometimes not being able to drive. I've ended up not going into next town today as just too stressful for me atm. Terry is off as of tomorrow. We have big food shop to do first thing, then i have flu jab, then he's going to come into town with me on bus/train and we will have our tea out.

Boys all currently entranced by 'Night before Christmas'

Then we are going to softplay later to burn off some energy before tea. And you never know i might get to sit down and have a coffe Grin

I am currently wanting a nother buggy!! i need something light for the bus like today i i just don't think i could squeeze luka into micralite now and don't want to dirty it up in this snow. The nipper is just not practical to fold and take on a bus.

basl · 21/12/2010 13:54

Oh a buggy challenge i like them. Xmas Grin

Well he is currently screaming his head off with tiredness. I really think i am going to have to tackle this sleep problem he has again. Slept so well at my sisters but always with the crying for mummy at night.

Nicola no idea on which pushchair you could get. You have had all the contenders surely. XT again? bjcm?

basl · 21/12/2010 14:16

janx · 21/12/2010 15:31

Afternoon ladies - am off from work for a few weeks and only one dc at home! Ds is still at nursery so managed to do quite a few chores with dd...only just posted my pressie to my fiends in Australia Xmas Blush...they won't get it for ages, but just havn't had time to do it. Got a card from post office to say they have a parcel for us - which I think is from the same friends. I really miss my friend - she has been gone a year and our kids grew up together....I actually met her through mn - which we always joke about like it was online dating!

5ElvesMooningSanta · 21/12/2010 15:35

Afternoon everyone Xmas Smile

DS2 at respite today, so me and DS1 went to the pictures. Went to watch Tron Legacy (zzzzzzzzz) but he enjoyed himself having quality time with me. Shops re really busy so the DVD I said he could have will have to wait as wasn't prepared to stand for an hour in HMV. DH now away to get DS2 and DS3 trying to build mr potatohead.

Basl, Olivia sounds such a cutie.

Nicola, you will have to try a BJCM with you new baby. It's a definite must!

5ElvesMooningSanta · 21/12/2010 15:36

I've met loads (well a few) of long term friends from the internet, it is quite the norm these days no?

nicolamumof3 · 21/12/2010 15:49

Really not keen of the look tho 5in. Cannot wait to use superlite again will of course be keeping nipper as well. Can't decide whether to hang on for sale of volo or just get one??
