    HELLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    I feel like I haven't posted in days :( been having some ipod problems loading safari and everytime I open my laptop I get a whingey baby so I just keep it closed...

    Hope everyones good, still havent caught up, but *hugs* to those who are ill, with ill LO's, having bad nights, or just anyone needing hugs :)

    OH is back Friday and I miss him loads :( feel so lonely, especially now T in tucked in bed, and I am sat here watching desperate housewives all on my ownsome :(

    Xmas shopping is going terrible, I think I may just give up, everything I order is either cancelled, card declined, missing in post, arrives broken 3 times :eek:, is in stock then mysteriously OOS :mad: so I have been worrying myself up about it and seem to have made myself feel quite ill... yes nuts I know but I always seem to get ill over xmas... sorry excuse self self self post... I'm lonely!

    Although I have one xmas present bargain; the laptop I use at work has been replaced (due to funding) and work are selling me the old one for £40! It needs wiping but my dad will be over the moon with it!

    Big hugs to you it's rubbish being on your own.

    OH has gone to bed now and I'm watching QI.

    Squeaks woke me at 3am the other night and the night before that I was up at 4am cleaning sick (nice)so I'm shattered now.

    I've not had so much bad luck with the xmas stuff but 2 blinds we ordered haven't shown, so my kitchen window(which faces on to the road and is 6ft wide) is clearly showing the mess in there to anyone who bothers to look night after night :o

    I hope you feel better for writing about it KK if not actually talking :grouphug:

    Hi Kitkat..wondered where you'd been! Sorry you've had such bad luck with your xmas shopping :( I haven't minded it so much this year but found it incredibly stressful last year so I know where you're coming from. When OH is back at weekend can he have T for a few hours so you can pop out and do some RL shopping? It may not be as mse but will definitely be less stressful. Or if there;s anything you're struggling to find can you post and we'll help source it?

    Thank you :) I made the point of giving squeaks a bottle at 10pm tonight, she didn't finish it but hopefully that will help!

    How are things with you? I didn't read all the way back so I'm sorry if you already said, had my friend round today so not had time :rotfl:

    She hasn't actually bought them yet, which is probably why I am getting a bit panicked about telling her, I think she said she was buying them straight after christmas...she is probably waiting to see if they go into the sales:money:

    Oh....What do I do...

    Thank You Ethelsmum, very helpful firsthand experience post. I am also worried that I will be torn between spending time supporting her and spending time with my kids, and helping dh to keep contol of them haha x

    what if you were to go with her? or could you helpfully point out that weather in gretna rather unreliable so perhaps a shrug or pshmina might be appropriate ;)

    Morning

    Sorry you are having a rough time KK. Hope you get sorted with presents and stuff.

    Another day tackling roads and trying to get work done. I'm really tired of this now :o

    Got a lunch job and I'm taking my Mam with me. She's really excited about so I'm looking forward to that.

    Have a good day all xx
    Here I go again on my own....
