Morning All..................
I am on the verge of a brakedown absoultly everything that can go wrong has the cats have broken the christmas tree so I have had to order a new one as there are none in my local shops and I really don't want a real one... DS3 is being a winge and asking for his munt of a dad in a wingie voice which is grating on my....... I have no food for christmas and no way of getting any! I have the money but with 2 small boys one of which is winging constantly I really don't much feel like it!! Also the fact I don't drive doesn't help I have a shopping trolley but you can't fit much in to it well not a full week's worth and I object to paying £8 for a taxi 5 mins up the road! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr and breath........ lol and there was no sugar left this morning for my tea!!! I am full of cold and would have loved to have had a lay in but as I had my sister's children last night i had a very very late night... which nding with me threating to beat them if they didn't stop chucking things around the room and go to sleep.. this was at 1 am!!!!! I had to get up at 8 as my dad was collecting my nephew at 9!!! I really could have done with that layin.. to top it off I had my ds3 and neice in my bed so what little sleep I did get wasn't very good I feel like I have been sleeping on a knife edge! anyway enough of my misery............. [EMAIL="IT@S"]IT'S[/EMAIL] CHRISTMAS LOL
on a plus note I did get to primark yesterday and got merMAz so fab coloured tights... just need her address so I can send them!!
Hi Jet and big hugs!
If you had your sister's kids then she should have yours while you do the Christmas shop and have an evening to yourself.
That was a lovely thing to do for someone else (Primark) you need to start being kind to yourself now.
..Linda xxIt's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.0 -
morning all
Happy Weekend before Christmas!
I am having lunch with friends today, got to wrap presents first tho!
have a good day
Love Buffy xxxNevertheless she persisted.0 -
Also - can you go out and collect some blown down branches, spray them gold (cheap spray paint) and hang lights and baubles form that instead of forking out for a tree? the kids could help you to gather small branches - These look gorgeous when decorated!

Jinks I did think of doing a online shop but as ususl I left it too late and there are no slots left...... I would mind but there was slot on thurs and fri but i didn't have the time... Oh well we shall just have to wait and see whats left in the shops hehe it's only a roast after all isn't it! And i have brought the boys presents just gotta get a couple more for my dad, sister and friend oh yea and naughty nephew.
Linda she will have them if I ask... an evening would be lovely i could get the presents wrapped!! but I doubt ds2/ds3 would stay as when the mood takes them their right mummy's boys lol I love buying for others although I do still buy for myself a little to often..... it's shoes that get me!!! I just need to grow some more legs so I can wear more than one pair lol Oh them branches look great wish I had seen that before i had brought one! still I was going to need one next year anyway and it was reduced £99 to £25 so not to bad!

Jet, sorry I didn't really read when I posted(!)
re Christmas tree, no Woolies closing down near by? mind you it is a scary place so maybe not. are you sure you can't fix the old one? or use half of it or something....?
re food shopping, I hear you on the pay for a cab thing. I can't drive either, am going to do it next year tho, but not telling any one. well except everyone who reads this!
pay the £8 and make sure he helps you with the shopping. I have to say I love my cab drivers they are so nice like that.
hope you get to have a nap at some point...?
