Pink.

Hi toots,

You haven't let anyone down! You are a star yourself for all that you do on this thread. :A

House is clean, most presents are wrapped (although I still have a few to do), trifle is sorted, veggies are prepped, gammon is cooking and the table is ready to be laid after dinner tonight.

Thank you all so much for your help this year and I hope you all have a great day tomorrow.

Hubby just phoned in a grump, he has a streaming cold and went to Morrissons on the way home to get ibuprofen for himself and calpol for LO, stupid blooming people refused to sell them both to him:mad: They said they couldn't sell them both to him at the same time

Evening folks

Hugs all round, hope you are all well, and all ready

2 hours to go here, till Christmas day, the fireworks are already going off, bearing in mine I am in a Buddist country, the 'girls' still want presants

Been lounging around, got a bit bored, SO I have been painting white wash on to the walls of what I think is going to be a classroom for a local orphange, got the kids busy washing the tables and chairs all aged about 5 to 8 years old, the class room is going to be for pre school aged children 2 to 4 or there about from what I understand, I then with a German lady, set the room up with 8 seats to 4 tables pushed together, I have no idea what so ever how pre school kids here, learn, but it is a start, it seems that have loads of toys and games for the kids in boxes never opened, so the other lady and I are going back in a couple of days time to unpack the boxes.
I also managed to scrouge a ceiling fan from the local hardware shop to give the kids cool air, and the hardware shop is sending an electrician to wire it in free of charge, provided the nun in charge agrees to puting his sign outside the orphange! I feel sure she will agree!!
The kids there are wonderful, seem well fed, clean, and again only have a few clothes but all are cleaned and well ironed, they just seem to lack affection.

Cooking roast chicken and veg tomorrow, with Mrt's xmas pudding I brought with me!

Hopefully catch you all tomorrow
