  • Crikey mum2one...been reading about the dreadful time you've had. At least now that's all over you will have a fabulous stress free Christmas and a busy one by the looks of it!
    I've just bought some new curtains for the living room and both pairs hang on the floor. I did get 90'' drop though, I'm rubbish with curtains! They were in the sale too and didn't have the next size down. Why can I never get a bargain!
    Bookcase still half done...I'm fed up with it already.

    I don't believe in the concept of hell, but if I did I would think of it as filled with people who were cruel to animals.

    Ive just made myself all tearful on another thread I started (kids stockings)

    Ive had a really up and down year since xmas eve last year when I upped everything and traveled 70 miles at 11.30pm to spend xmas with the in-laws, had to drag the kids out of bed, load the pressies...everything!! not a happy time, came home boxing day to deal with the **** I ran away from!
    My 27 yr old best friend passed away suddenly in January, cremated her in Feb, found out I was pregnant in March, was totally broke in April so both my girls couldnt have a birthday party, my birthday in May, friends I went out with decided to 'get high' so me stone cold sober (pregnant) had to watch them acting like complete idiots!!! June was quiet, July I passed my driving test, August we buried my friends ashes, September best friends brother left town, October was quiet and November my baby born!! Christmas IS going to be good this year!!!! Im doing it all the way I want it, Ive never been so excited about christmas before :D

    Jeez I know how to put a dampner on things.....sorry :o
