Susan! Hello!

I'm really pleased to see you I've missed you.

Did Alice have a lovely christmas? How was the goose (IIRC? I know you were having some nice meat...)

Thanks. I've missed you all too. Yes, Alice thoroughly enjoyed herself. She's really into presents now and keeps wrapping random things up in bits of paper and giving them to us. I think this is probably the first Christmas or birthday where she has really understood beforehand about presents. She managed to give away my present to me though because the day she went to get it with OH, she said to me after he'd gone to work, "Did you get some cups Mummy?" I don't think she's quite understood the suprise element yet. Yes, we did have goose and it was lovely although bizarrely unfatty so we didn't get enough fat off for roasting the potatoes but it saved a bit of work so we weren't too bothered.

We're good thanks. Since OH wouldn't be working at this time of the year anyway we've been able to enjoy the snow. We've also been able to do quite a bit of shopping (and get sales bargains) without OH getting stressed by it as the shops are all really quiet because of the snow. But for some reason Alice prefers to go out pulling the sledge instead of riding in it.

Susan, our goose must have had all your goose's fat - we bought extra for roasting potatoes and didn't need any of it because there was so much fat it was really quite disturbing.

But it turned out ok really - my mother attempted to sabotage the dinner by turning up the heat and burning the meat and potatoes, so the extra fat kept them relatively soft.

Well done Seth!! :j He was obviously waiting on you putting him in his own room to do it. You could probably have done it months ago. You must have been keeping the poor boy awake!

Thats what OH said :rotfl: plus he clearly likes to sleep in the toasty warmness, which explains why he'll sleep for however long we stay in bed for if he's with us but wakes alone, the heater was on all night! I'm going to have to go out today to try and get a safer and more energy efficient one. Might just walk to Argos and hope its not too big to go in the buggy basket, or too heavy if it doesnt!

And sorry I worried people by disappearing without saying anything - I just got a bit stressed out by the whole thing about people not being replied to but I didn't want to make a big thing about it. I think I've recovered now though.

We thought that might be what it was after your last mammoth post before you abandoned us - its great to "see" you back and to know you're ok!

Jas has never liked sitting on anything in the snow, she much prefers trying to go on her scooter or bike in it !!!

Ladies and gents, I just posted a Grabbit that would be great for those of you with older children - but perhaps not those of us with littlies
