PInk hope your friend feels better -what a horrible thing to happen. And that you can get dog sitter if needed. You are a lovely friend

HOpe all kids and mums have a lovely time tomorrrow!

Was just musing re what 2010 has taught me -and its to trust my instincts - they really havent let me down!

Got to go and attack veg and fruit now!

Back in a few days!

Hugs to all dumplings!

Lovely posts from you all. Goo and Starting have said all the mushy stuff better than I could. This thread is so lovely.

Nice that AF dropped by wasn't it.

My friend came home from hospital yesterday but needs to go back as the pain is so bad.

No luck with pet sitter. Fingers crossed she'll be able to sleep tonight. Thanks for asking.

Off to bedski to watch telly.

Hope all the quiet ones are ok, Getting, mumfun, Armbow et al.

Waves to Mumfun, hope you have a lovely xmas & that 2011 will be a great year for you & for all us Dumplings of course.

Pink, hope your friend starts to feel better soon & doesn't need to go back. You are indeed a v kind friend as was said already

Patience, glad you're having fun with dc's, it's great isn't it . Bless the innocence .

Ok I know I have a date with a figure hugging size 10 Phase Eight dress shortly after xmas but I've just said F**k it I'm a Dumpling & can eat myself silly if I want hense I've just sat down with a huge bowl filled with half trifle & half pavlova . Dumplings must find their pleasures where they must

Happy xmas all.

Despite best endeavors I fell asleep mid peep show and have gone to bed.

That's naughty Starting. It was mince pies for me .

Lol waves to Happy & Merry Xmas right back at you

Merry Xmas everyone kids in bed presents arriving at half 12 ........2 very excited little people ,have moved 2 baby annabel s so they don't wake up and blow my cover later x

Waves to AB,Cloudy,Maybees et al been a mad bad and dangerous year ,but have a day off from the drama 2morrow,light a candle if you can just to remember fellow dumplings across the world and from times gone by ,remember the best revenge is living well and don't ever let the bastards grind you down,eat well if you can then go into UR metaphorical chrysallis (or under duvet )and re emerge as a beautiful butterfly ,to fly free on UR journey of rediscovery .

Hmmm woke up with xmas thoughts.

Time for christmas music? No back under the duvet I think.

Oops missed your hello Starting. Nice post Patience, lovely thoughts for all.

I know it will be a funny old day for some, so post away you lurkers, no doubt there will be plenty popping in from time to time with xmas treats (interestingly my phone keeps on changing treats to twats but they will not be allowed today).

But early for tunes but may start with the pogues later.

Oh, and while I remember, thanks for popping in AF, I wonder whether anyone else will drop in?

Too xcited to sleep ,but good to know there is a Xmas day party here Happy ,will come over later (hope everyone feels welcome to have a rant /mince pie /trifle ,whatever feels appropriate)
ps Saw the pogues live at the Barrowlands the year that came out.

Happy Christmas to all you lifesavers, and all other sufferees. Thank you for your kindness over the last 6 months, I aspire to get where you are, Getting, Patience, tea, starting, pink and Googoo. (sorry if I have forgotten any of you).

I hope everyone can have a passable day today if not a good one, remember it's only one day. Love and hugs to you all, and once again thank.

Merry Christmas!

First one that I've had a lie in! Waiting for the girls to ring me - then they'll be here at 12.30.

I feel good today - and I hope you do as well. I'll be around to see what you wonderful, beautiful, fabulous ladies are up to.

Happy Christmas to lots of amazing dumpling ladies.so proud to be a dumpling! Love you all hope everyone can find some peace today in the true spirit of Christmas. Xxxxxx :)

Merry Christmas .

I know we will have the best day we can whatever the situation we are in we are dumplings

Happy Christmas everyone, lots of love to you all and remember that whatever crap is going on in our lives there are women out there who are a thousand times worse off than us.

Lets all count our blessings today, as everyday.

Better start cooking now. xxx

Merry christmas everyone :o

Hope you all have a great day and arent stressing too much

Couldn't get on last night dongle was playing up grrrr

Realised last night it was my first christmas eve in all my 31 years that i have spent alone, didnt really bother me tbh, X rang with a stupid reason last night, kept it short, then this morning DC woke up so i rang him to come round and his phone was off ended up after 10 mins having to ring XSIL to let him know, then when he gets out the car he's slowly walking to the house having a cig, chatting on his mobile, was glad to see DC were a priority for him, he spent the time with a face like a slapped arse whining about everything and all i could think was thank god this is the last time i have to do christmas with this miserable bastard, it reminded me that he's always the same at chrimbo and we have had many rows because he didnt want to get up ect am so glad i'm out of it :o

hopefully will be back later am at DM's today but home tonight

Afternoon all.

Sov, what a prat your xh is grrr.

Blimey this cooking takes forever.

Playing Bob Marley, Jamming, great song.

Happy - good song.
Well, hope everyone is surviving the day. My boys have had great day, then exh (all huffy) arrived to pick up boys as I haven't brought my car. My Dad wouldn't let him near front door and it was all a bit stressful. This morning quarter past eight got text from exbf, which I'm sure he sent to all people in his phone but felt I should reply with Happy Christmas as it is Christmas afterall. Then felt very upset and despite finding it very hard to cry normally, I managed to cry secretly for about 2 hours on and off. How crap is that? Don't know where that came from. Anyway, had a G+T but can't really let my hair down as I'm at my parents' with my granda and his friend and it's all a bit posh really. Roll on tomorrow when I'm back at home!
At least I've survived and boys have had a great time - they loved their pressies - woo hoo! Younger one has worn his spiderman suit all day haha!
And on the plus side, looked at emails today and CDman has sent me a lovely e card...not all men are crap afterall. Cheers everyone - chins (and tits) up today - just cos it's Christmas!

Happy Xmas to all dumplings! Pink, you are so wise.

Busy, busy day in the critter household. Juggling xp and older dd and ds was almost too much. It was like some silly xmas sitcom farce with one lot going out one door while the other comes in stage left. I was the piggy in the middle and quite a literal piggy as I have totally stuffed myself. Hope you are all stuffed too.

Have to say that it has been a very good day and I totally feel the spirit of xmas with peace and goodwill to all men and women (except two ).

Very chilled day,managed not to fall out with anyone,,been to church walked the dog then over to my parents, made full use of every adult for toy building childcare etc all cool

Absolutely loved my first Christmas at home with the kids, my first ever Turkey cooked by me was yummy, as were all the usual trimmings, all served by 1.15pm, kids were great today and are now asleep. Fabo :-)

Brill Tea and Patience, has been good here too. Kids even did washing up.
