    Good morning all!

    I didn't remember about updating my list last night until it was too late and I was curled up in front of the TV with DH.
    I've tried to pare my list for today down to the absolute essentials - I'm sure there will be things I don't get on to, but I'll do my best. DS2 has had toothache on and off since his dental appointment yesterday, so I'm not sure how the day will go. He's asleep at the moment.
    MIL won't be coming for tea tonight, because of the weather. DSs are disappointed, but they'll see her tomorrow and I won't have to worry as much about the state of the house.

    Have a good day, everyone. I'm off out (on foot) to get bread and fresh veg, now that DS1 is back from his paperround. No chance of keeping up with the thread, so I'll try to read back before Sunday evening.
    Lots of 'coping with stress' vibes coming the way of everyone in need.

  • Message from GreenBee -

    arrived after 7 hours!!

    Boring journey but some spectacular scenery on the way. Will try to log on later but currently being put to work making beds and sorting out decorations.



    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.


    Snowball says too far away, working hard to bring it forward.
  • OK - am now on my own - HHC anyone?

    I'm aiming to hoover through and clean the bathrooms.

    Boo!

    Only me :D Where has this week gone already? :eek: Can't believe it's already Christmas eve. We have been running round like loons but think we are just about sorted. Got the dentist this morning as Miss A lost part of her baby tooth the other day, we are going as a precautionary measure as I don't want to be trying to find a dentist over the next couple of days. Then we have to pick up flowers for DH which we will take tomorrow and this evening we are popping 2 doors down for a buffet tea before bed by 8.30 in preparation for that special visitor in red.

    I don't think I shall have chance to catch up at all, having last posted DAYS ago! In case I don't get back on I hope you all have a lovely Christmas, for those travelling please take care. xx
