Hehe nah don't worry! I hope we can sort something as well. We were thinking of moving Christmas to another day and going down and having it with the family but I don't think it will be the same. I don't know when he finds out what he is working. I guess it will be when he moves from training to his shift.

Right I'm off to bed now, its the other half's birthday tomorrow and I know he will wake me up early like a small kiddie hehe.

We managed to mov xmas one year..hubby had to work days, and we didn't want to not see children open presies..he had boxing day off so we moved it...kids never noticed .I got two advent calenders each and when school broke up swapped the callenders and we were a day behind.....just watched films with them and baked on the "real xmas day" ...kids going past house on new bikes almost blew my plan though!!

:rotfl: That's genius!! I would never have been able to carry it through!!

Addictedtolush - your boy is gorgeous - he has a similar hair colour to my DD2 - we call it 'auburn' or 'strawberry blond'!!

Been a busy week so not much achieved except yet another meal in the freezer!!

pinkladymel - maybe we fell off the front page because we are now all so organised and there is nothing to discuss! (NOT!!)

No list from me until the weekend - there are no spare hours this week!!
