toots xx

Yip, she's teething and she has three teething toys that she absolutely loves BUT....sometimes when she just NEEDS a cuddle and no-one is paying her any attention then chewing her bed is the thing that she has to do. She's now sleeping and doing her obi-one-kanobi (sp?) impressions.

On the flying front;
DH has;
- sewn up the hole in puppy's bed
- got the children showered, washed and ready for bed
- changed the children's beds
- taken puppy for walk
- written a list to go and do the food shopping tonight

I'm almost tired watching him:rotfl: xx

I also need to wrap but am lacking motivation. I have to do it though as i'm out tomorrow night and i don't want to be doing it Christmas eve.

juliejim

I've finished my book - it started well but got a bit hard-going at the end.

DH has gone to see Chubby Brown, kids are in bed so I'm now free. Tired though so I don't know whether to get into bed, sit in front of the TV, do some more wrapping or do some more tidying!

Evening all

Pigpen - glad the cleaning went OK. Hope everything else is starting to work out. And please don't be ill - you don't need any more at the moment.

Moam and Mumoffour - cards received today, thank you both very much!

Greenbee - hugs re: Grandad, although it sounds like it was a merciful release. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Valli - (((((hugs))))) Appendix is lower right so I would call NHS Direct for advice, or out of hours. (That is the final result of the Opinion Poll of all 562 Flyladies!) Don't wait to see if it goes away. There's also Norovirus doing the rounds, so best to check it out, especially as you have young people in your house. Hot water bottles are not good for appendix, but brilliant for most other things.

I can't find the MSE group on Yahoo!

DS has been a Star with the painting again, while I've been washing, drying, swishing and swiping. Last coats will go on tomorrow, then we can finish dusting and vacuuming. Then - finally - we can put the Christmas decorations up!:T But........... my sister called tonight and said that, if she is organised enough, she will come down tomorrow instead of Wednesday! :eek: I told her if she arrives too early, she'll be given a duster!

Since i last posted i have put chilli in the slow cooker, made a chicken & brocollli dish for the freezer - both dishes needed for the 28th. The DW has been on twice and will be on again before i head to bed, WM emptied & reloaded, just waiting on the tesco delivery to come will sort that out and then probably heading to bed.

Hi everyone.

It's just taken me hours to catch up - you need to stop chatting so much lol.

Today I've cleaned the whole house except the kitchen and downstairs loo which I'll do tomorrow. I've also swapped the family room and the dining room over. Tomorrow I just need to change the light fitting in the dining room and do some ironing. Must not forget to take the turkey out of the freezer - we're having Xmas dinner on Christmas Eve because we have to go visiting on the big day because nobody ever bothers themselves to come to us:mad: .

Just had a phone call to say that the sale of our villa has just gone through:j - only 5 weeks late:mad: .

Hugs to everyone and I'll see you tomorrow.

toochoosey
