Cinderella,(Misson style) was fantastic yesterday, the kids were brilliant. Willow did really well and remembered her lines! I bet the kids were all tired today as they had to do a second performance at 6pm.

Rainmac I'm glad to hear Melissa is ok, it must be difficult to find some me time with 3 children and another one on the way.

DS1's play was on Tuesday, they did a show at 2pm and again at 7pm. I was 'lucky' enough to go to both

Don't think Mel will mind me saying but baby number 4 is a pink bundle

DD hasn't mentioned that yet - but now spends ages doing her hair when this time last year it was a fight to get her anywhere near a brush - luckily I don't do it right so I'm off the hook.

Childcare is a nightmare over xmas - fortunately I work from home 3 days a week and the Bank holidays are mondays this year so I only have xmas eve to sort out as I'm off new years eve so we can go see OH's family - she usually goes to the out of school club but it shuts xmas eve until they go back

I find it hard to concentrate when she's here and I'm working as she permanently seems to be hungry although she does keep me supplied with coffee and makes my lunch

Know what you mean about the concentrating. Luckily my boss has 4 kids and knows exactly what it's like so I normally work 8-11.30 (whilst he;s still asleep / happy to lie on the sofa watching tv. Then I take a long lunch break 11.30-2.30 to try and tire him out. then back to work until 6pm for me whilst he makes something / plays on the wii, etc. Not ideal but what acn you do - there is no childcare for his age group such as holiday clubs over Christmas as far as I can tell.
Have been busy crafting this evening but daren't post pics as I think one of the receipients of my gifts reads my blog.

oooh a little girl for mel . She'll be spoilt rotten when she appears especially by the boys.

Just signing in for the nightshift so may not make too much sense - please bear with me.

Mary Op - hugs for you & Mr Mary what a horrid thing to happen especially at such a busy time of year.

rainmac - thanks for news of Melissa I've missed her and we don't count how many cards you make to come on here - just value each others friendship - I bet she's excited about a girl after 3 boys.

Padster - Well Done on your DT post :j

Artydoll - congratulations on your win

CT - just realised that you meant you have to secret Santa everyone not just one of your colleagues:eek: Gift cards deffo the way to go, you could get different one for each person, and if you had time, disguise them in different shaped boxes or a sour cream container?

Brain just about given up now - off to bed - not sure I'll sleep though

Mary Ouch for Mr Mary, it's fingers in ears and.....la la la la la! if he starts complaining. I dunno! Men'll do anything to get out of helping with the Christmas shopping, mine could crawl under a snake with a top hat on his head just to get out of going to the supermarket.

Padster, Well done on the new DT position, don't forget to send us the links as I don't remember that one.

PepPop & flourgirl, a double daring cake dive into those two yummy creations, I've been rushing around so much the weight is just falling off me (not!) I'm sure I need extra padding
