Soappie - hope they manage to get to you today.

TAG - gorgeous kittens.

I've got a cold - I'm not impressed.Party went well last night - all the boys went outside and had a snowball fight as there was quite a lot of snow. We left at 9 though as DH had got to bu up at 2.30 this morning.

Right I'll go and find a list.

Have a good day all

Morning everyone Sorry I've been AWOL but I have been sort of lurking but for some reason the CBA and being busy seems to have got in the way. Wow I have nothing to do all year and then December comes around and I don't know whether I am coming or going, mainly going as I don't seem to be in..lol. When did I get so organised..:rotfl:

to Pigpen, Toots and Soappie for the list and stars. And a huge for keeping track of us over the year

Belated "Happy Birthday" to all those that had them last week, I am so sorry I forgot Hope you all had good days.
Soappie I sympathise with you not having any heating, we were in that boat last year in the middle of winter - ugh it's not fun. BG took about a week to get ours all fixed. Hope you can stay warm today and enjoy your bath at NN later.

3tabbycats, hope you have a lovely day.

I have been up since silly o'clock, well 6am when DH left for work, or should that be skated to the coach stop up the road..lol I have been productive though I have put a pink load of washing on, washed up, fed the cats and paid all my bills that need paying online. They don't need doing till the end of the month but the money was in there already so I thought I would pop them all through early

It's all icy and horrible here, and my poor veg box delivery didn't get through yesterday so it is being delivered today - unfortunately I am not in as I am going out with 'Toxic friend' today. I have been ever so good though this is the first time we have seen each other since all the fuss over Freddy the cat back in September. I imagine it will be very strange and strained

I have decided to drive to Bluewater today as it is undercover, the roads are clear that way and personally I don't fancy doing battle with any pavements anywhere else. I imagine the world and his wife will be there but hey ho, it's christmas so who cares!!!

Oh and for all those that saw my post on FB about my darling cats knocking over my tree and smashing some baubles, I now have a lovely decorated tree. Actually I prefer it than when I did it the first time, I have also tied it to the curtain pole this time. I can't believe they did that, they are both 9yrs and have never shown any interest in the tree before..until this year!!! Little wotsits!!

Monday Mayhem..

1. Make sure you have all the shopping you need to take you through to next week.. milk and bread especially! It is Bank Holiday on Monday so some shops are not open.. the big supermarkets are. - waiting on my veg and salad box and fruit box from my delivery guy..should be with me today ice and snow willing!! Decided to make bread instead of buying it as I have plenty of bread mixes in the cupboard!!
   
2. Make sure the last of the presents are wrapped I will not have people sitting up while 5am on Christmas morning wrapping!
3. Have we located stockings? - the pet ones are already hanging up..lol

I'm in....

Loving the list Pigpen.

Was going great guns yesterday on finishing wrapping, etc, etc, when I glanced at DS - red rash all over his face...on further inspection it was all over his back and tummy, so we ended up at the out of hours GP at 9pm last night. Poor little thing...he was really tired and we were kept waiting as an emergency came in...Turns out he has a viral rash and it's nothing to worry about. Bless him, he wasn't best pleased when we got home (he's only 9 months old....). Seems in better spirits this morning.

I'm off delivering presents to mum and dad later, but also have to go to the post office, get some eggs and pick up some contact lens solution for OH (why he couldn't do it on Saturday when we were in town is beyond me!!).

Cakes need to be iced, and pastry for mince pies needs to be made...something for this evening I think.

Right, hope everyone is well - hugs to all who need one.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't snow until I'm home tonight!
I can hear two children awake, so I think it's time for breakfast.
Take care all

Hi I am in again - did not do very well last week but as I will be hibernating this week due to the snow (apart from going to work) I should be able to catch up - hopefully.
Have a nice day everyone and stay safe

Morning. We have a little bit of snow this morning.........trouble is it's settled on ice so goodness knows what the pavements will be like.:eek:
Soappie - you jinxed me. My boiler was playing up this morning. :eek: In fact that's what woke me up. I switched it off and reset it and fingers crossed it seems to be OK. Big huggles for you to keep you warm!!!

Kitten update - (:o Sorry, you'll have to put up with this few a few days I expect:o)

They're both helping me type this this morning!:D They had a good night and when I came into them this morning to say hello the one on the right purred when I stroked her. Awwwww!!!

They're still not impressed with Sweepy dog. But, they've sat on the desk while I type this and Sweepy keeps poking her head up.They're beginning to tolerate her just a little bit. I have to say Sweep she has been very good, considering she's been spat at, hissed at, lunged at and batted on the nose by both of them. All she wants to do is play. I'll try and get some better photos of them later for you to see.

Mrs Chaos - I have a Stieff and a Dehaven teddy. The Stieff is a limited edition, 1990 replica of the 1908 Alfonzo bear. He has some damage to his gold top and no box but otherwise in good condition. 1 of 5000 made. The Dehaven one is called Little Patch. I think he is 1 of only 50 made. I'll need to double check that, but I wonder if he is worth more? They're both geniuine and I was thinking of selling them. But I don't want to get ripped off IYSWIM. Just wondered if anyone knew about them to give me a rough idea of what they're worth. I was thinking around £200 for each of them?

OK enough waffling from me. Today's list below. I might stick up a list of my normal dailies as well later. We'll see.
