Morning all :wave: (just!)

Happy Birthday AnW'sMum :bdaycake:I sent you a text earlier, but of course, you wont know who its from. I tried to pm you, but I think everyone had that idea. I'll email you

Rach - positive thoughts for you and the family (((hugs))) :A

macpep - do the families have to leave you at 1pm? How about talking to them about the change in DH's work schedule and you and the kids could go to theirs? Then you can have Christmas Dinner with DH on Boxing Day or 27th or whenever suits? Btw, where about in Scotland are you?

Feeling worse today. I'm not going to venture far from the settee, the laptop and Jeff Stelling.

Oh and pigpen, I think you should include juliejim as one of your helpers. She always keeps us right on everyones birthdays, esp in December there are so many I cant keep up. I know there is definately one other birthday this month, but I cant think who ;)

I have so far managed breakfast and a soak in the bath

positive vibes for Rach DH sister and BIL

Holly?.....are or have you got any of the go go hamster stuff???
Just been on the go go site here and there are people spending £200 pounds on them + accessories.....am I depriving my child with just a hamster......afraid to post too much over there.....I have done a little one....wish me luck xx

He he good luck, no thankfully Ds2 hasn't noticed the go go hamster craze yet. I'm sure you're not depriving her with a hamster, it's crazy what some people spend. My step sister couldn't find any in the shops so bought 2 hamsters and a couple of accessories from Ebay for £250:eek:.

It is my daughters birthday today too.. she is 9 .. Happy birthday to Mimi.. I rang and spoke to her on the phone as they are at KH's. I gave him a list of the dates he canhave them over the chirsitmas holidays as he is off 2 weeks as well.. apparently by offering him half the holidays in 3 day slots I am being selfish and not thinking o the children and he is demanding to have them christmas night and boxing day morning... I have said he can have them until about 1ish boxing day but he has to pick them up in the morning. I have said he can come see them christmas day but he is not having them christmas day he can go to Hell.. Apparently this is a prime example of me being selfish and unreasonable.. if I was being unreasonable I'd tell him he wasn't having them at all..

So, after a really bad night.. I have now spent an hour wailing and I feel sick and have headache and look a fright, we are meant to be going out later to OH's sister and I really don't know if I can make myself stop enough to get ready and pull myself together.. actually it is a good job I can just about touch type lol

I'll go snot in the shower and see if a cuppa and food helps..

All in all.. today is rather a mess!
