    Evening all

    I forgot to update my list last night and didn't get a chance to log on this morning. Yesterday I did most of my daily stuff and cleared/hoovered the floor in the living room.

    Today I did DW and WM/TD this morning, but not much after work. I called at costco's to collect some things for DS2, so I've got most of his presents sorted. Then DH and I met in Meadowhall. He bought me an amber pendant and earrings for my birthday on Thursday :D and we picked up a few other things.

    Since coming back I've put DS2 to bed and read a few pages of the thread. DH bled DS1's radiator and the pressure on the boiler fell. Instead of waiting for me to find the instructions, he tried to fix it and now the pressure is so high that I daren't use it. :mad::mad::mad: Should be fun tomorrow morning without heating/hot water... Why couldn't he just wait a few minutes? :wall:

    MIL is still not very well. She started taking Warfarin last Friday and has been ill since. I'm not happy with the support she's had, so I'm going to phone the GP tomorrow morning to see if he can do something.

    Busy day at work tomorrow, so I best get myself off to bed.

    Good night. :wave:

    Hi everyone!!

    DP in a bit better mood, phew, I left him in bed so that worked. Unfotunately DS1 back to being ill so he's home for the rest of the week (off on Friday for staff training anyway)

    We've managed to get the base viv casing built today, ordered the runners & ordering the glass tomorrow. DPs just siliconing them up now. Think my idea will work & it will look ok.

    Got a poo loads of stuff to do tomorrow so I best get off to bed. Sorry bit manic trying to sort DS1 & try to stuff done to read through. (((hugs))) for you all xxx
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Mudbath - I thought I was being very subtle sending hugs to your reindeer Jinky.. I didn't want you to know that Jinky the reindeer was moonlighting at my house while you were sleeping..HSwhistle.gif

    Hip is still really painful. I guess maybe the cold got to it but I have never known it this painful before. My OH has to pull me up out of the chair. I am sure it will ease soon.

    Just to get us more into the Christmas theme.. with no apologies for posting the same carol on another thread!

    'Hark the herald angels sing
    "Glory to the newborn King!
    Peace on earth and mercy mild
    God and sinners reconciled"
    Joyful, all ye nations rise
    Join the triumph of the skies
    With the angelic host proclaim:
    "Christ is born in Bethlehem"
    Hark! The herald angels sing
    "Glory to the newborn King!"'


    Off to find my list..

    Hmmm...not quite going to plan! I spent most of yesterday making a sock monkey (decluttering a pair of socks..;))! ;)My first attempt so I used an old pair and presented it to Lazy Lab. When I came back from the school run there was very little left but Lab has been snuggled up to the remains all night!

    NO more excuses, serious flying today!

    Hugs to all in need extra ones for Toots and Lady-L :A:A
