Afternoon Diary,
Wow where are these weeks going?! I cant believe that weve got 4 weeks today until Christmas absolutely cant believe it!!
So this week ive been busy as per usual! Dont know how I ever fit in working full time tbh. Monday was my full day, DH not collects the girls so I came home to tea on the go.
Yesterday I went to Mr M's straight after work. Spent £70 :eek:! I did buy the selection boxes that were on offer and some nappies and wipes for my nephew (due in Feb!!). Other than that no big extravagances! Then I had my nails shellec'd and they look lovely if I may say so myself ha!!
We had the roast beef from Sunday as hot beef sandwiches for tea last night with hm chips and onion rings and they were delicious! So tasty!
Today after work I did the wrapping of presents ive bought so far, then I went along to DD2's open afternoon at school. Love being able to go along to these things without worrying about the number of emails I would come back to like I used to.
Tonights tea is chicken, bacon and leeks in a creamy sauce with roast potatoes and veg, cant wait its a yummy dish!
Ive still got some Christmas shopping too which im hoping to finish next week once DH has been paid on Friday. I know what I need to get though so almost there.
Think thats all from me, hope everyones ok xxMummytogirls x0 -
Hello Diary,
And another week goes by! Nothing too exciting to report, just plodding along. Almost done with the Christmas shopping now, just a few small things to buy and then im done. Ive wrapped everything we have got so far.
Going to put the tree up this weekend!
Just got up to date with the bank accounts, nothing to report on those really.
The living room is all finished now and it looks so cosy and lovely for Christmas. Im so impressed with it, I LOVE it!!!
Dont think ive anything to report anyway. Hope everyones ok xxMummytogirls x0 -
Hi Mummy,
Make sure you leave plenty of time for putting that trampoline together...took me ages and my fingers were in bits. Mind, you have a man in your team so will probs be a doddle.
I love beef and gravy bun...nom nom.

Afternoon Diary,
Just popping in for a quick catch up! So I went out last night and expected to be absolutely hungover today and a wasted day but im fresh as a daisy!! Im still in my pj's just cant get dressed! DH is just off out with the kids on their bikes so im chilling. Because I thought id have a wasted day I also planned for DH to cook tea so hes just put the chicken in now!!
Nothing else to report really, just having a chilled NSD preparing for tea.
Livvy, oh no doubt there will lots of swearing and carrying on from DH when he puts the trampoline up!!! I know what hes like haha!!
Right off to catch up on others diaries xxMummytogirls x0 -
Evening diary,
All sorted nice and early tonight so im having a rare evening on the laptop.
Had a busy couple of days, yesterday was payday.. yippee!! So went to Mr M's after work. Had a coat to take back for DD so ended up buying them some clothes out of that money. Then straight after school had to take DD's to the hairdressers so didnt have a minute. Today its been DD1's nativity at school so thats another afternoon gone.
Went to the butchers after work and spent £30 on turkey (for Christmas now in the freezer), joint of beef, mince and chicken. So both days have been quite spendy.
I made hm chicken goujons, wedges and beans for tea and it was really tasty. Going to do a pasta bolognaise bake for tomorrow's tea.
Tomorrow im on a course until lunchtime and then il be meeting my cousin as I usually do once a week.
Think thats all from me, only a few more get ups until 2 weeks and 1 day off :j xxMummytogirls x0 -
Good Evening Diary,
Just sat feeling quite smug that im all sorted for Christmas! This time next week will be Christmas eve how exciting!
So since last week weve had DH's christmas do which we stayed over at the hotel, was lovely! Went to a free event at School for the kids Saturday which was lovely and even better that it was free.
Sunday DD2 had a party so that the afternoon taken up.
Today I went to Mr M's and did a little (£69!) top up shop until the shopping comes on Sunday. I did spend £15 on a few presents so not too bad really. I just need to do this last bit of wrapping tonight and all sorted.
Just 3 more get ups until we break up, cant wait.
Dont think ive much else to report really. Looking forward to Christmas but also the New Year to get back organised again.
Hope everyones ok xxMummytogirls x0 -
Hi Mummy,
I love January for getting organised.
I have almost finished wrapping my pressies too, just a few of DD's left to do but they are up in the loft so I will do them whilst she is out on Sunday.
Did you enjoy DD's nativity? Did you cry?

Merry Christmas all!!! Hope you have a good one!
DH just outside building the trampoline! I'm sweating in the living room that we don't get rumbled haha!! The things we do eh?! XxMummytogirls x0 -
Good Evening Diary,
Hope everyones had a lovely day. Without sounding like a miserable cow here my day has been 'ok'! DD2 was very spoilt over the trampoline and started stamping up and down that she hadnt got a drum kit! I just do not know what got into her but im very disappointed and deflated. The kids have bickered all day long which in turn has made DH miserable (he reckons he isnt by the way!) and im just like why do I even bother!
I got some lovely gifts but I have to say ive had happier Christmases when we were skint ha!
Hope everyones had a lovely day anyway and heres to a better day tomorrow! xxMummytogirls x0
