Morning ladies,

'The First Noel, the Angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!

They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!'

AnW's - You are working at the local branch today hon!!

Jinky the non-reindeer - huggles to you honey..
Triker - I think your DF plan is very organised.. Well done you
Jill - Your sons sweet letter to santa actually made me a bit emotional. What a lovely boy he must be... though I am sure you will tell me he can be a little terror when he wants, as they all can. :rotfl:You have done a good job on him as I notice he wanted a bag of sweets 'to share'. That is so sweet!

Toots - big honey

LadyL - I happen to love you girl and if I want to support you I damn well will, so shove over on the couch and let me sit down with these two family sized tubs of Ben and Jerrys (I don't share!!) and we can watch a weepy movie and get it all out of our systems!!
Rose - as always - nice to see you posting and I hope the broaches are going well.

Hi all....
This is really just a quick note to let you know that I'm still here! Have been completely overwhelmed this past week....I've even upset my dad, who has been trying to call me for the past couple of days. He does, however, call during the witching hour (despite being asked not to) and he doesn't realise I can't always come to the phone (esp. when I'm in the middle of bathing the children.....).

Anyway, I'm not going to let it bother me - I'll catch him if he calls tonight....

Flying wise, I seem to be taking one step forward and several steps back. I spent a long time sorting the bathroom yesterday (it was v. manky), but I find if I do that the rest of the place goes to rack and ruin. Seems like there's only one pair of hands doing the work....DD helps where she can, but she's only 5, so can't be expected to do too much - and besides, she plays with DS and keeps him happy. Now that OH is self-employed and working from home there seems to be a lot more mess....:rolleyes:

Sorry for the moan, I'll pick myself up in a minute and carry on. I'll crack on with the lists and update later....

Hope everyone is OK? Big hugs for everyone who needs or wants one.
Take care, and have a good day
D

Morning

Have been up an hour and managed to sink a mug of tea and make lunches. DH has gone off to work so I have to get DD up in a bit. DS came in from his dads about 615 this morning and has gone straight back to bed :rotfl:, typical teenager!

What does a mid life crisis feel like? Do women get to indulge in one?

I darn well hope so especially if it involves tall dark handsome young men

You know the real sad thing today, I put the lights on the tree before the SWs decorated it, one set is static and the other can be multi sequence or static. In the past I always insisted they had to be static as they would drive me mad when we were watching TV but I must have knocked the setting as when I switched them on tonight they were flashing and I thought they looked so pretty and not at all annoying and I felt terrible because I wouldn't let DH have them flashing.

I think its his way of saying he's still around, let them flash and think not of the fact that you wouldnt let him have them on but that he has them on now

Right I need to find a list as I have stuff to do today, although I am NOT going to overdo it. Downstairs still looks ok even though I havent done much this week so might just need a quick hoover and flick of a duster.

off to find my list
