Triker - I guess you ought to mention DH's tooth stuff to the travel insurance people too - just in case.

Banana cake in oven cooking for bro's visit. Off to make pastry now for mince pies

Yes I am going to, it's just such a blooming minefield. Obviously I want the best cover we can get just in case, there are so many diclaimers and excess amounts you really have to research it carefully.

Plus I want an insurance policy which doesn't give the runaround if anything happens.

I can't seem to find any reviews anywhere of travel insurance companies, any suggestions folks?

Morning everyone. Bit of a rough night last night everyone's got the cold and hubby couldn't sleep but need to crack on today have loads to do.

Johanne hope your waters back on soon.

Lil_me big huge hugs, i'm sorry to hear about Megan.

Pigpen OMG hope everyone is alright.

iriedaughter hope you manage to take it easy today and get some sleep.

2 boys now up and in the bottom of the bed watching tv, DD still not well so back to bed for her. Hubby away to sleep well lightly sleeping anyway.

Plan today is to sort the kitchen and i'm gonna take a cupboard out and put the fridge in there and move the kitchen table, should look alot better as well as getting rid of half the clutter.

Plan for the livingroom is to move the furniture about to make it look abit bigger, oh i need to bring in the other chair incase visitors apeer.

If i manage to get that done today i'll be pleased. Right better get up and go to the shop or there will be breakkie.

Ds2 was in the bath earlier and i left him playing with his toys whilst i made the sandwiches for the Toddlers xmas party tomorrow ( the bathroom is through the kitchen so i could see him ). He's happily splashing around when he says Oh no theres poo in the bath ( in a shocked voice). I go in there and he's pooed in the bath:eek::eek:.
I showered him and the bath and put him to bed. He's just started night time toilet training so has a potty in his room as the toilet is too far away downstairs. I'm downstairs wrapping the presents for Toddlers when i hear a bang and he says Oh no poo. He'd only chucked the full potty over the stairgate:mad::eek::mad::eek::mad::eek: and it wasn't completely solid:cool:. Why he couldn't just call me to empty it i don't know.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Sorry just had to laugh at this one. Make sure you have that written down to tell him when he has toddlers of his own! I was so lucky it did not happen to us with ours, have heard it is not uncommon.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes I was at work and go shunted to a branch closer to home for the last couple of hours.

When I got to Mum and Dad's the kids had done a surprise birthday tea for me I had two copies of Mamma Mia on DVD, the sound track again (bought it myself way back in the summer!) and several bottles of wine Just had a wobbly moment when the kids had gone to bed, but all ok again now.

Caught up to page 55 and about to take Miss A swimming and then the dreaded MIL visit! Will catch up more later.

Thanks again for all the hugs and wishes xx

just had a letter from Spain saying i've won about 6 hundred thousand euros on a lottery i never entered!!, it's the third one i've had in about a year or 2, who do i report this to, so i don't get any more?
I have heard on the news, a while back, that some people actually try to claim the money and get ripped off!

Need to make a substantial breakfast for everyone, then sort out the picnic. We are off to get rained on today - probably at Tissington or Bakewell. Haven't been out walking for ages but thought it was something we could do that didn't involve telling them off every 5 minutes like shopping.

Waves at Hex who is nearby - and definitely getting wet...

My plan for today...

Finish work work (which I have started so all good) and e mail data to Assessment co-ordinator. Remove surnames from list first though (data protection ***winks at Greenbee and other savvy flyladies who know about this sort of stuff***)

Hack into son's account to check xmas list and tell sis what's on it - or text him and ask for an urgent reply.

Eat breakfast and drink tea

Make bed

Merge 'who to buy for' list with 'what I have bought' list and produce whole new 'buy this for this person NOW list'

Call into Post Office and tell Siobhan (clerk) that my devious plan to thwart the last posting date for 2nd class has worked ... at least one card posted yesterday (they were all local - I had run out of stamps) has been delivered because the recipient phoned me this morning to thank me for it! Try not to gloat...and it was a second class:money:stamp! She did ask me to let her know!

ETA go shopping :rotfl:

sick of looking at phones now, OH and DD are up, so i'm gonna go do something, see you all in a bit.........
