Re the card. A lot of rot if you ask me, never heard of it in my life. What next Congratulations you are trying for a baby??????? I'd be waiting to the baby is here and they shouldn't be that bothered if they couldn't be bothered to let your DD know.

Funfairs list of daily dreads
(not in any sort of order!)
If all else fails


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.
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? :rotfl:
4. S&S the kitchen
5. S&S the bathroom/s and loo's
6. Change any bedding you need to get washed before the fat guy arrives.. and I do not mean the OH/parent/ etc
7. Make sure your timetable for christmas day is sorted and everyone knows their tasks.. who is spud peeling? MeWho is stuffing the bird etc..? The butcher
8. Catch up on the laundry .. ironing is tomorrows job! Started today:T
9. Spend at least half an hour doing something for yourself.. reading.. relaxing.. goggling... remember you are important too.
10. Dust round the whole downstairs
11. do a crazy HHC decluttering downstairs

Kitchen all clean now - just a hot spot to deal with

SSL All these cards are simply created by the manufacturers and then people feel the need to buy them. In the past that was what the blank cards were for, sending a message if you felt like it not because of some commercial pressure. I hope she resists - I'll set up a facebook group Rage Against Cards!

Because, that would involve him (KH) seeing her (DD) and that takes time and effort as he lives about 5 miles away. She has only seen him once since August and that was for parents evening. He took the huff because she forgot his birthday :rolleyes: In retaliation, he sent her birthday card on her birthday, so it arrived a day late. I've kept my mouth shut for years because DD doesnt want me to make a fuss and make things worse. Oh and also DD forgot SM's birthday and then forgot their wedding anniversary. To be fair, she wasnt invited to the wedding (no one was) and was told about it the following day. *sigh*

Evening all. I'm shattered, kitchen floor cleaned, yet more washing on.

oh SSL !!!!!! a congrats on your pregnancy card - how bloody stupid...
I'm with Jinky, Tooch, FFP and Carlsberg on that one.
What would you send someone unexpectedly pregnant - 'I'm sorry you got caught' ?
Dusty's right - start it I'll join in! It's flipping ridiculous!

Mind you she could always send a
Congratulations on (a) your pregnancy and (b) making sure baby's half sister (ie me) was the last to know card...I knew my dad had good swimmers
love from One He Made Earlier!

and can I be there to watch their smug little faces?

rach

SSL - I agree with everyone else and have never heard of it. !!!!!! what will cards be for next?!

DH got home in 45 mins and reckons he passed about 10 buses on the way! He's not grumpy at all and was glad to have his dinner almost ready. We're going to snuggle under blankets and watch the next few episodes of 24 tonight. Might go and get my pjs on in fact

He's just doing some online money bits (monthly cashflow, cc bills etc). Think I'll go and make a pot of tea.

No - no immersion on the tank.

Oddjob - may you have a wonderful Christmas and a splendiferous new year xx

I'm back from NN's all bathed in beautiful hot water and roasty toasty for a while at least. BB spent the first half hour just curled up on NN's lap warming through! Poor thing... If any of the other neighbours saw me though, it would have confirmed the fact they think I'm mad. I went next door wearing the dressing gown on top of everything and the beanie hat!

Chatted with DD a bit as she came home before I went. Seems what happened last night was she left about 10pm and then got stuck on a snowy hill in the middle of nowhere. She called her friends who were still at the venue and they drove out to find her.

There was no way, in the end, that she (nor they) could get the cars up the hill so they had to reverse back down and then follow a really long way home which included gritted roads but also some ice. At least they went in convoy. It was 2am apparently when she got in and she said she'd never been so pleased to see a hot water bottle in her life. She's disappeared off to her boyfriend's to get warm there!

Ham is smelling lovely so I'm going to peel some potatoes and stuff
