Morning all zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

:grouphug: for all you late night people and yay! at potential new babies. Glad Mooki enjoyed her holiday and hope Jasine stays off the nebuliser.

Today's project involves buying gifts for a 7/8 and 10 year old boy, taking out more of the crap I've cleared out (mostly papers) and probably taking Husband some nice food.

I know NOTHING about boys. I'm going to send them each a bag of chocolate coins and beyond that I have no idea.

You're sounding a lot more positive Mel. How are you feeling now?

Weezl, if you're around lovely... Remind me again how you make Fergies fromage frais... and what do you freeze them in?

sorry Kristal, I'd gone to bed to watch x factor! My last batch was onken full fat yoghurt with a can of cooked apples (asda) and a little cinnamon, steweed and then all combined together. 1 can of apple made enough spicy apple puree for at least 1 kg of yoghurt. HTH?

I've been tidying and searching for things to throw away in the Great Declutter While The Great Clutterer Is In Hospital. And then I meal-planned Christmas, created a shopping list and ordered everything but the fresh fruit/veg from Tesco complete with £5 Quidco and £10 WYS £50 code.

what's WYS?:)

Now SS, I've a bone to pick with you! (eeep don't you hate it when people say that!?) Your sig has been saying since the summer that you're all done for christmas, and then you keep telling us about more pressies you're getting! :rotfl:

Mend well vibes for the great clutterer :beer:

re: potential new babies, is it really bad that I thought, 'ooooooh If I have the same gap again I can be PG with Sami and Kristal again'?

Maz, Another PG runny egg eater here . How are you, why did you have to see consultant t'other day, and sorry if you've posted already but have they said what kind of birth you're allowed?

Susan, I was going to post this yesterday, but I didn't know if you'd see it cos I know you don't come on on a sunday. I'm ever so sorry but due to a mix up between me and my mum about who was going to the post office, I discovered the parcel with alice's pillowcase in it whilst tidying yesterday.:eek::(:o. Really hope you haven't been fuming with the postie each morning. I think I can get there on tues after fergie's Drs appointment. Sorry again....

WYS= When you spend

I wanted to get Christmas done before Molly was born so I wasn't rushing around, but it occurred to me in around September that my contract will end next year and it's going to be hard to find something else. So I've been organising all the gifts for next Christmas while we still have two good wages coming in. That and since my grandmother passed away in April my mother's been having a really hard time getting excited about Christmas so I wanted to take as much of the strain off her as possible.

The Great Clutterer was supposed to have surgery this morning but nobody told the nurses, who brought him breakfast. Last week that meant that he wasn't getting surgery that day so he just ate it, and as he finished the doctor came in to make sure he was fasting before surgery :rolleyes: So hopefully it'll be this afternoon.

How's you?

weezl74

wow! That's super-organised of you! For the boys, I have some books which the fairies can send.... Mel, this also applies to you for your older 2 cos I know things are feeling tight financially for christmas your end...

goes to look at the titles...

eta: frustrating about DH breakfast!

Thanks Weezlie, but I have it on good authority that these boys don't read

Morning all..

Purposely got up early today. Nurses coming at 11am, then going to visit a friend this afternoon

Who's got an advent calendar ready for tomorrow? My Grandma bought ours, Malteasers for me and Transformers one for OH - big kids, much?

Apparently they lack the attention span for reading. I think it's so sad.

Edit: morning elle I don't have an advent calendar but I did send my brother a Playboy one. He liked it, apparently - I wonder if he's opened all the little windows already?

Thanks Weezl I shall get hubby to pop to Asda for canned apple on his way home... We bought a kg of yoghurt in Lidl yesterday but it really does need something adding to it... What do you freeze it in now?
