I need the last one today as I have been looking after a friends dd and my ds (my dd is at nursery which i still have to pay for even though I dont work school hols obviously:mad:)
I am truly knacked, the girl was constantly snitching up my son when he did something minor (IMO), he was bored some of the time even though we did sticky pictures (glitter everywhere, hoovered up once) , went to the park, made xmas biscuits (hoovered up again) decorated them ( 3rd time out for the dyson:rotfl:) I then mopped the floors, washed up as the dishwasher was full and doing it's thing. I am now sat vegging before i fetch dd from nursery and call at the chippy.

And excitement ---- my Next VIP slot starts at 7pm so the kids can have baths tomorrow night instead, they wont mind, I want my new rug and desk as my wooden floors are colder than the carpets I was used too:eek: I am actually wearing slippers (granny)
Oh and also my hubbies cousin became a dad today so I have some pink shopping to do tomorrw:j

Hope all ok, soappie glad you got heat , will catch up with rest later on xx

Wrapping turned into a mamouth task but I now only have my Mum and Sisters to do and the kids can help as there will be a gift each from all of them.

Pigpen - Pickle and Woody say thank you very much for their clean beds which they are enjoying (after getting hoofed off my bed - what were they thinking!)

Going to make some Tom soup now for when the kids get home in case they are hungry.

Monday all done, except I still haven't located the darn stockings. Today's list is all done too apart from the ironing (which is Mr Pink's job so it's up to him to sort it) and wrapping which will be done later this evening. Just poured a Bailey's and enjoying my half hour to myself right now. After the last two days I'm completely shattered so think I deserve it!

After that I'm going to see if I can book the ferry for dd to come home from university tomorrow. She was due to fly home on Christmas Eve because she was working right up until Christmas Eve, but I don't think it's worth the risk with the way the weather is now. I can't wait to see her and have all my chicks back in the nest. :j

Just finished dinner, sausage casserole and mash. Was lovely and warming.
Going to tidy up the dishes and S&S the kitchen. Will try and get the bathroom cleaned tonight too.

Like your style mudders, sometimes they need a little gentle persuasion;)

Valli

oh Kaz... what a story...well done you!

Mudders if I ever hook a third Mr Valli can I come to you for tips?

Been to town - was thawing nicely then went to Morrisons where a quee management system was in operation SA sent me from the queue down the shop to till 15 where second SA nearly flipped as I was queue jumping. Told here where I had been sent from and by whom so she relented. Please don't let me have to go back out there...
DD now making cheesecake from the co-op magazine and I have so many jobs to do I don't know where to start.
Car filled with petrol though and tyres checked!

Where is she at uni pink? Some places look like a complete nightmare.

Do we have anyone in Basingstoke? Sorry, my English geography is rubbish!
