Hope Sugajen and baby Suga are doing ok? make sure you get some rest hun....bigs hugs to all your family.

furrypig I've not tried any of the ideas of that website yet, although the Linen one sounds pretty good............I love the smell of christmas!!! but I have saved it in my fav's and will have a good look over the weekend!! I just thought I would share it as I know everyone on here is Christmas mad too!!!

Well I din't manage my printing yesterday as my ink ran out :eek: I spent half an hour filling the things up, got covered in ink :mad: and then had to get the kids from school so will have to do my printing today.

Still not found that little torch, I'm so mad now as Im sure I put it in the christmas pressies to Wrap box :rolleyes:

Well I must get on as I only have today, got to go to mums tomorrow and get Xmas decs out of loft for her and fetch the presents that I have stored at here house, then on sunday taking the kids to the local garden centre to see father christmas (who is arriving on Chitty Chitty Bang Bangs Car) might have a look at the Christmas stuff too.

Hope you all have a nice morning

Well I've managed to cross a few more bits of my list this morning, and done a few things that weren't.

Just finsihed Painting the Bathroom, giving it a spruce up for christmas, Got some Lino left from the kitchen so will be putting that down when the paints dry. Took another box of stuff to the charity shop so its getting there.

Got to get cracking on my printing though, I just find it boring LOL, and there is so much to do. May do it tonight while DS2 is as my mum's house, can get DS1 to help me organise the piles.

Still not found that damn torch, and I've put the mountains of clean washing away now.

Anyway I better get on, while I'm in the "I can be Bothered mood", Got so much going on this weekend today is the only time I'm gonna get anything done, then will have to go shopping on monday after PTA meeting at school. then Tuesday OH is taking me into Manchester so gonna get to see all the Xmassy things Yipppeee!!!

Take Care
