    Morning all

    Merry Christmas to those going away today :D Hope you all have safe journies.

    Hope everyone else is ok, healthy vibes to those suffering, hugs to all.

    Have A & W's cousin here this morning, so far they have all watched the Nigel Gresley thingy from last night, W was in raptures about it! Now watching the Polar Express, cousin and W are telling me the story with Miss A saying 'ssssssh don't tell mum' :rotfl:

    Not done much so far apart from empty the DW are partly refill it. Need to sort some laundary today, decide what we want to wear for Christmas Day and make sure it is washed and ironed. Might have to scale Mount Washmore and Iron Mountain to complete that task!

    Keep thinking of people that I need to print school pics of A & W for, thank goodness I have a stash of spare ink, might be needing it.

    I have decided just to go to the coop of bread, milk and butter for two reasons, 6 into a 5 seat car does not go! and I hate crowds in the shops at the best of times. A walk down the village with the 5 scallywags is the best bet ;) Just waiting for SC's 1 and 2 to arrive.

    Have a hug GnB I think he is being rather unreasonable, I would be tempted to leave your post on the screen so he can see for himself how you feel. Maybe reading it back he will see why you are so fed up.

    Rach that is terrible service from the council, I hope you have had you bin collected at some point in the last 5 weeks. I would be ringing the Enviroment Agency and/or Health and Safety as well as your local rag and MP just so the message really does get home. Would be tempted to withhold council tax payment as well as you are obviously not getting the services you pay for.

  • rach thats shocking - I would still write to your MP - and yet another Dh not going to get a visit from Santa - hugs honey!!
    G&B hugs for you too honey - you are so tired that all that way in the car is not going to be good - another thoughtless OH - strike 2 off Santa's list! Tell him if he wants you to go then he has to help you get organised.
    fingers crossed Triker!!!!

    rach - thats awful. They MUST do something.
    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.

    Have re potted my aloe vera - where there once was 1 plant , there is now 6. They aren't looking too good at the moment but hopefully they will soon pick up. Made a terrible mess in the kitchen soil got everywhere but hopefully I've picked it all up now.
    Have decluttered livingroom and washed up. Will do another HHC starting at 11 if anyone wants to join me
