Thanks all

Trying not to dwell on it today - yesterday i seemed fine but today im really teary and think it is hitting home now that they have gone.

Ben is keeping me busy though - he had some little like mecchano toys fro Christmas last gone that he wants to build and has been asking for months but i put it off so think today i will get those done with him.

Also have a family friend (he was at one point going to be my step father) popping in later so hoping that will distract me too having company although im not even sure if he knew i was pregnant.

Do have a mountain of cleaning to do as well. Need to get bedding changed and there's a stack of dishes too get done. No idea where it all came from but it needs doing! :mad:

Anyway
I have been cracking on with my mums cross stitch - note to self i will post a picture today!!!! I've done a lot more of the chopping and changing between colours so now its just a case of the big block bits and then looking to get it framed up but there is a local farmers market and one of the stalls does framing so will use them and keep it local.

I had started saving money away in a terramundi pot for the baby things we'd need but have decided to rename it as our Christmas food shop money instead so I've put a few pounds a week away in there so that should take care of the food for us. Am aiming to have about £70 by Xmas so that's only £15 a month aside which is do able adn with the £40 we usually budget in a month that is a fairly big shop for us as there is only 3 of us and the dog/turtles.

Ben has also decided he'd like a bike and a camera as his only Christmas presents but since he loves taking pictures we will get him a digital kiddie camera - think they are about £50 and boyfriend is an avid mountain biker so he knows a good family run shop in Abergavenny that he will get Ben's bike from that he can pay for it in instalments up until Xmas so that should be ok too. Those are his main two presents then though so he will have a few other smaller bits and pieces but they are his main ones.

Main goals for today though are
1. to get some more cross stitch done.
2. Post picture of cross stitch :mad:
3. dishes
4. bedding stripped, washed and dried.
5. Dig out Christmas card making bits and make a list of what I've got.
