    Mudbath we've got an elf coming too ( well actually it's a gnome but i'm hoping Ds2 won't notice;) ). I can't wait for it to arrive, when's yours coming? Ours will be bringing advent calenders with him so will probably arrive on the morning of the 1st.

    I feel a trip to the pound shop coming on .....

    List for tomorrow
    - find an elf
    - find things for elf to do:rotfl:

    So far I've come up with baking, decorating the house, visit the Christmas fair in town, go to the pantomime, go to the school fair (I'll end up carrying elf in my pocket because they will just be TOO embarrassed, watch Merry Madigasgar (sp?), go for a drive to spot Christmas lights, DS teach elf playstation.

    Can I just say that we already had pantomime tickets...I haven't bought those especially for the elf! Mmmm hope he doesn't need his own ticket.....ohhhhhhhhhhh I could make him one :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. The sad thing is I haven't even been drinking! Stop encouraging me!!!:T

    Dailies and bedroom done. Inside of cupboard doors painted. Its very wet and windy here today.

    Froddy You have taken the hardest step and arranged counselling. Take care.
    Toots DD is brighter and looking forward to xmas. Once I have finished the kitchen cupboard doors thats the decorating finished.
    Soappie. Im keeping an eye on things at mums home. There is a few new staff and have had to explain mums routine when Im there. I was told to take her in for lunch a good half hour before lunch is served. So explained that I take her for a cigarette just before. Her clothes and rugs often disappear even though they are marked.
    AnWsMum. Hope you are all feeling better.
    pigpen. The poor pud sounds like he has been in the wars. I would love another but Jake would hate it.
    Mummyof5 Hope Ds is ok.
    Dusty Hugs.

    Just catching up on one of the soaps then going to do some wiifit.

    I've knitted my very own yuletide gnome.. Tree went up today so he will arrive tomorrow. Mine is green with a white beard and grey boots/hat etc. He currently has no arms or legs attached lol.

    Children bugled off to their dads for a few hours.. I told him not to bring them back too late as they are at school in the morning.. So, no doubt he will bring them back stupidly late so I don't have time to bath or deflea them and they will be shattered tomorrow and then too tired to eat their dinner, then too hungry to go to sleep and mess about and set us up a week of misery!

    I'll sort next weeks list shortly and then I need to empty the vacuum as it is bursting and vacuum the landing and what I can upstairs. I need to get the tree stuff boxes back in the cupboard.

    First job.. bed sheets!!

    pre-first.. one for Triker..
