Sainsbury at Straiton. Tesco in Penicuik was carnage and the car park at Lidl was a disgrace. No chance of me going anywhere near the Fort or the Gyle

The Gyle was no problem yesterday around 3.30, Morrisons reduced their turkeys to £5 and my friend got a huge organic one down from £39 odd to £5 oh and a 3kg bag of fresh pasta 9p from the deli counter (now bagged into portions and in the freezer) and we got fresh chicken in Tesco and steaks for £1 each

Merry Christmas everyone and thank you for the birthday messages. :T

Happy Christmas Everyone, hope your day is going ok, .


Did lunch for (I was told) 5, however the gate opened about 1/2 hour boefore eating time, and in walked another 12 of the 'extended family' :eek: as they wanted to have roast potatoes! major panic set in, sent one of the lads off on a moped to a supermarket to get more cold meat,:D luckly I had done several roasties, so everyone had at least one and cold meats or chicken, and thank goodness for rice cookers over here as that was used to ensure there was enough to go round, with cooking extra carrots and cauli, lack of chairs / plates/ cultery etc so people had to sit on the floor and 'camp out', use bowls and spoons.:rotfl:

But everone got something to eat and they all went away happy,:T:T GS(6) his father bought him a darth vader light sabra noisy thing! somehow the batteries managed to fall out :o after about 1 hour, I cannot imagine how that happened!!

Take care all, hugs xxxx

(Who ever asked I am in Thailand)

Extension is finished:D

I wont find out about hubby Feb.....But its not looking likely....Thats the horrible truth! He has lots of behavioural issues...Ie keeping his conveen on, swearing bad temper, throwing himself out of his chair, being verbally agressive loads but Its NOT his fault its the brain injury!!

Well, even if it is only a couple of nights a year it is more than you had hoped for inthe past.. At least you are conscious of yours and his limitations..

hope everyone is having a good day!

Children were up at... 2 o'!!!!ing clock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! little gits!!!

as a result they are now crying and miserable.. and I've been asleep half the afternoon.

Food is in for tomorrow.. chicken drumsticks, sausages and sausage rolls...

Off to make them tidy up some of their mess!!

Dinner demolished and very nice it was too, loads left over so I know what we're eating next week:rotfl:.

I haven't had a melt down, even though I had to do it all myself but luckily all the prep helped immensely.

Going to settle down and watch Dr Who in a mo.

Hope everyone else's day has gone well. x

Evening everyone, we were woke at 6.50 by














My sister and brother in law.....:rotfl:There worse than the children, we didn't even think they would be up as the roads are so bad. They had to leave the car at the bottom of the lane because there was no way they could get it up. FIL put the tractor in the hedge yesterday because it started to go board side down the lane.:eek:

Kids are over the moon with what santa brought, DS1 is bumblebee from transformers and DS2 is a storm trooper (the batteries will go missing tonight if they don't calm down). DD's bike is a nightmare the multy tool thing didn't fit and then they woke while we were sorting it, thankfully they didn't see anything.

It's been a lovely day here and it even snowed for awhile. Now i'm gonna try and get everyone ready for bed.
