oooh yes these do look fab, i have bought a mini one for tate or luka (not sure yet who's having what you see!)

back from school xmas fair horrendous, why do i do it? every summer every xmas...madness so over crowded. i left pushchair outside so was frightened i was going to lose one of the boys.

maxybrown · 05/12/2009 16:01

Cor, just got in, feeling quite jolly, now crying a little. So sad It is good to share it though Basl and co. I keep thinking about that poor boy at DH's school and his family, I can cry at absolutely anything at the minute too!

Well. I went over to my folks, mega early at 8am and was there for half nine, really quiet, lovely.

Nicola, cardigan arrived thank you, tis really lovely, pic didn't do it justice, thank you.

I love those sheepskin boots, gorgeous!!!

Thanks for payment Sal [smile[.

We went to town today it was shopping hell . Got last few bits for dd, stuff for me and hunted everywhere for a really small across body bag for me for purse, keys, phone, lippy etc insted of shoving in changing bag. I could find nothing!! I've been scouring ebay after an 'animal' bag same as what I have but smaller but can't find any so just bought a tiny DKNY messenger bag insted

Dd and I have just eaten too many celebrtions chocolates so much that don't think we will need dinner and her dad is coming over in a bit expecting to all sit down to eat dinner (I love this and he hardly ever does it so better russtle something up) Might just do sausage, mash onion gravy and peas

StrictlyKatty · 05/12/2009 18:09

Hahahah Nicola I don't even spend £70 a week normally! Trying so hard to save for DH's present. Got wrapping paper today, oh the joys of wrapping!

basl · 05/12/2009 19:31

Evening ladies, juts checking in and a big sorry for depressing everyone. We have all had a lovley day today. My nephew is still poorly but we have put the christmas tree up and decorated the house with paper chains and cut out snowflakes We watched the wizard of oz and scared the life out of olivia. My sister has called and having the time of her life and never let on her son was not too well. They have had a great day and now all bathed pj's and goodies to watch the x factor. Feel much happier tonight now my nephew is feeling a bit better. Just made me think about my other nephews who will be missing their mum. Oh and dh broke the news to my parents that i have bought yet another pram and they looked gobsmacked. What's up with you they said? I just smiled and said i haven't commited a crime you know.
Daniel has burst out his grobag so we had to let him sleep in iggle piggle fleecy sleepsuit and he slept all night.

5inthesleighbed · 05/12/2009 19:50

Basl, no need for apologies. My FIL passed away last year, and last christmas was awful. It's comforting to know I'm not the only one iykwim, and its always good to share.

I've seen the ones on Ebay, but really don't want to pay over £50 for one. Never going to get one really am I?

DS3 hates sleeping bags Basl, and I just put him in fleecys all the time now.

I'm still after a cheap three wheeler, want one with air wheels.

nicolamumof3wisemen · 05/12/2009 20:31

well SK thats not 'normal' for me either! but xmas and generally having three boys is an expensive business!!

Basl i did the same with all mine once they were over about a year and could have little cot duvets anyway, slept much better, is it fleecy one from mothercare? we had that last year gorgeous.

oooh hope tom passes his TKD he will then be red belt and he's only 10yrs old!! would be v.proud one belt away from black.

Had a lovely afternoon, boys loved seeing their uncle again, i wondered what they would be like as they haven't seen him for a year. But they adored him

janxmas · 05/12/2009 20:53

What a mental day - was really busy at work with an event - then dashed down to John Lewis to get luka;s brio collapsing bridge- tills not working so big queues - madness on public transport, smelly tramp next to my on bus...and then get home - power cut in our flats - dp really unwell with this flu - everything is electric in our flat..its raining so we get in the car and get fish and chips and then back to flat...dd is now hysterical because she thinks its never coming back on...trying to find candles - luka taking the opportunity to climb on everything cos he thinks we can't see him..and then after three hours it came back on....just in time for x factor

5inthesleighbed · 05/12/2009 21:02

How mental Jan! At elast it came back ion in time for X factor

Nicola, hope Tom does well. DH now teaching TKD after getting his black belt. Glad the boys enjoyed seeing their uncle again.

nicolamumof3wisemen · 05/12/2009 21:23

wow mad day for you jan, x factor good tonight tho eh?

Thats great for your DH is DS1 still doing TKD 5in? Tate is doing it now, he's been doing it 6m loves it. they do a special tots class called Tigers all about self defence, stranger danger, fire safety is really really good class.

janxmas · 05/12/2009 21:30

Is it just me ...or is joe really dull?

nicolamumof3wisemen · 05/12/2009 21:33

yes he is. boy next door type isn't he?

um but how good was olly first song

janxmas · 05/12/2009 21:36

I like Olly but i don't think he is much of a singer - i am rooting for stacey (we eastenders need to stick together)

5inthesleighbed · 05/12/2009 21:45

There is somethng about Joe I don't like. Think its the huge teeth. I should be supporting him, him being a local lad and all, but I just can't.I want Olly to win, ahve had him down as winner since the auditions.

Nicola, A is still in TKD, he is yellow belt. Its the grading tomorrow, but he has had a few issues with confidence, so it has been put back until April, which I don't mind.

I've been on the wine tonight. Love a nice bottle of red.

Divatheshopaholic · 05/12/2009 21:48

hi all, for some reason i could not sigh in all day
just finished watching x factor and heading to bed

nicolamumof3wisemen · 05/12/2009 21:52

Im going to bed soon myself too. i like to stay up for DH but he gets in late now they're busy for xmas parties. Was about 12 when i got to sleep last night then luka coming in at 5ish was not good!

StrictlyKatty · 05/12/2009 22:01

I heart Stacey! She's just too cute for words
