Three choices in life; Give up, Give in or Give all you've got!!

Thank you Beanie, Pooh and Sparky.

Today has been full on but enjoyable. DS1 had a class assembly first thing so we went to watch that. It was on Pearl Harbour and DS1 played a fab part as a soldier. Proud Mum moment! Just wish he was like that all the time thas he's being a real hormonal pain in the behind again . We went from the school to the Metro Centre for what was supposed to be a quick shop but ended up being 3 hours. All good fun! Tonight DH and DS1 went to see DS2 in his evening performance of his nativity play and I had an hours silence. Pure bliss. The way they allocated the tickets was odd, you could only have 3 across the two performances, so I went alone yesterday and they went together tonight. It seemed the safest option!!

Today's roadkill haul was 1p! Not as good as yesterday but I'll take it :rotfl:.

I seem to be drowning in competition entries at the moment, what with normal comps and then advent ones too. Hope it's worth it and I win some prizes !!

SA, I think I will have throttled DS1 by the time he's 29!! He may not see 12 at this rate! If I hear "It's so Unfair!!!" One more time .....

DH went out with his Mum today while the boys were at school, so I pottered round the house enjoying some alone time. Popped to the post office, did some ironing, wrapped some Christmas presents and made some soup. Loved every minute of it.

Went to DS1's school Christmas fair and only spent £3.00 which is rather good.

Found 9p roadkill . I think people are too busy charging round at this time of year to stop and pick up what they drop. Their loss is my gain .

Maddie, my iron levels were at the low end of normal when I was having all those tests recently, so it's a possibility. I think it's more that I never truly rest or sleep properly. I've always got one eye or ear open!

Sparky, a fiver!!! That's brilliant! My roadkill run has come to an end, nothing to report today .

Last night DH was very jerky in his sleep and woke up at 2am drenched in sweat. He's been quite 'switched on' today though so I don't think it was a full seizure. He's normally on another planet the day after.

This afternoon we took my Grandma out for coffee and then for a bit of shopping. We watched Home Alone tonight after we picked the boys up, a very cosy and MSE Family Fun Friday .

I'm going out with the girls tomorrow night, but I've not been allowed the night off work (having previously been told I could :mad:), so I have to work until 7pm and then my friends are picking me up in a taxi from there. I'll have about 10 minutes to scrub the pizza stink off my hands, get changed and sort out my hat hair :eek::eek:. So tempted not to go out but it's been 12 months since my last night out and I know I'll enjoy it when I get there. That's what I keep telling myself anyway!!
