    Triker I hope you all have an amazing holiday and DH isn't too sore, Happy Christmas xxx
    Mudbath that's a long time in Tesco, hope he's not being hassled by old ladies getting him to pass them things off high shelves (which is what happens to mine) Yes, get those ABs sorted asap! I am naughty, when the GP gives me them and I don't think I need them I stash them for if I do.
    Pigpen honey, usually sooty stuff goes within 48 hours so fingers crossed it's not tonsils giving you grief again (but it is going round :( ) Forgot to mention I did call Metro Centre shop and they didn't have kittens in bags either :(

    Well all shopping apart from bottles (which I need to make a space for when clearing tomorrow) is away. I didn't realise just how many 'biscuits for cheese' DS2 had threw in the trolley, 5 packs! He's a cheese junky, I did get asked if I was buying cheese for a family of giant mice!

    DS2 seems to have settled tonight, I am going to have to get him a tag rag or something I think, his twiddling with his/other peoples/dogs ears is getting worse but worse still he's now putting everything in his mouth, inc the poor dogs ears, licking them, urgh!

    DP when I said I had a lot to do tomorrow said he'll take the kids out, I did want him to offer to help but better than nothing and I will get more done with them out of my hair. I did point out he needs to be in for parcels :D when I need to do the other shopping.

    !!!!!!, all the presents for DPs family are still on my bed, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I want to just goto bed. Think I'll just throw them on the floor and wrap them tomorrow :D

    Goodnight xxxx
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
