Ooops forgot to say, love your reiendeer Scattymam and your DD looks lovely and looks like she really enjoyed herself.

I bet you were really proud...

The new Head at our school said that Nursery and Reception (who normaly do the Crimbo play) were to young to do it so I haven't seen one with DS2 in this year. We were all really upset about it!

ah sarah our play was really basic but I'm glad they still did made an effort to do one - it's an important part of the curriculum to present infront of an audience - she was picking her lip at first and I thought she was pretending to be shy but she sharp gave it up when she started singing as you can tell by the photo - but later I saw she had a bit of dry skin on her lip - my bairn - shy! I should have known better.

Busy day today but tonight am going to finish wrapping and I want all my cards gone by the end of the weekend - I went to asda last night for my last shop and got some christmas goodies in - just need fresh stuff on monday but my dad's gonna help with that - just carrots and ready made prawn cocktails and stuff.

In my big bedroom task I decided to put curtains up as well - just gonna reserve and pick up cheap ones from argos - will do that later today.

I have to put a photo of my christmas tree on here too today, kick me up the bum if I don't

Hi All

Can I join in too please? I kept falling off all the wagons this year but I doubt anyone would notice cos I lurk much more than I post ; ) and I've got loads of ideas on here from everyone, so thank you all for your help even if you didn't know you were helping me : )
I have finished all of my part of christmas this year, not all of it neutral but some of it. I did use my hipoints to buy my friends birthday prezzy this year and went through quidco so free prezzy with free money back - I love that idea (just have to organise the house now cos it's a sty).
Last christmas job before the big cook is to help hubby with his prezzy buying tomorrow, which is early for him, he usually runs around like a headless chicken on christmas eve!
Happy Christmas everyone x
