    Flying interrupted by my mother dropping off my nephew, so we have had a natter and a cuppa and she has now gone to do her last minute shopping. Flying will resume in approximately 25 minutes, after I feed the starving hoards.
    Need to give Max his dinner too lol.

    Thanks for the replies re MIL... suppose i should be happy im acknowledged even if it is in the wrong way... least its not an "out the box" one to me again like first year i lived with OH when he got a huge "wonderful son" one... and i suppose one day she may learn to spell my name right too.....:rolleyes: .... And as sick as this sounds at least its only signed off her..... when sarah was born she signed the congratulations card off her and FIL who had died 15 days previously which really upset both me and OH lots . :( Maybe she didnt do it on purpose and just "forgot" but i have gritted my teeth every card ive opened off her since.. just in case....

    I have to be super dooper nice to her over christmas anyway as to not upset her as it would have been FILs birthday on boxing day (ALL the best people have their birthday then ;) )

    OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh wellllllllllllllllllllllllll...........................

    Today i need to:

    Dress Sarah who is still in her pjs :o
    Take my AVON money to the post office to bank
    Buy a loaf of white bread (only have wholemeal atm doh!)
    Buy DD a stocking
    Buy my dad a present as i have nothing for him :shocked:
    Try buy some stocking fillers for DD/OH
    COLLECT MY AVON BOOKS
    go to mums to COLLECT MY AVON BOOKS UP THERE
    Dress my tree... cos its naked at the min:rotfl: :rotfl:

    Asda delivery here and all put away. I was a loaf of bread short but I had a pack of grapes instead......I think I've got plenty of bread anyway and the grapes were dearer so I won't bother to ring up about that! Didn't get any wine though, I find it hard to believe they've run out. Didn't charge me though and I don't drink it anyway;) Might wander over the local shop tomorrow and get a bottle or two, I've seen offers on over there.

    I got my spare kettle, I ordered Asda Smartprice and got the next one up as a substitute. Result!
