    Afternoon CAFC - I'm merrily playing on the Grabbit forum and doing good deeds where I can. Still haven't managed to do anything more strenuous than make and eat a pot noodle (sticky rib, not bad but I put too much water in it) and the chances of me actually getting a tree base are minimal. Hopefully Z and I can get our collective act together tomorrow because it NEEEEEEEDS to be up when my parents arrive Monday night.

    I'm also going to need to deep clean on Sunday/Monday _pale_ but on the plus side we're going to lunch at my new favourite restaurant on Sunday with one of my good friends. And I am a bit pensive, because I would like to issue an almost-open invitation to locals to join us for Boxing Day lunch at my favourite restaurant, but there are some people who I would actively like not to attend (an off the wagon alcoholic prone to deep unpleasantness and her partner) and am trying to think of the best way to get all the people I do without the people I don't. I think perhaps a skip of that entire friend group might be the only way not to cause mayhem but :o

    I think I shall sit down and go through my local friends and send out a mass "anyone interested?" message while dodging the dodgy one and the people who might report back to her. Or else I'll leave it and talk to my friend about it on Sunday.

    Glad he's sleeping and I hope you can put your head together xxx

    Hugs kitkat, I would say bake the mince pies and no one will notice the mess ;)

    Hello :hello:

    Well OH and Squeak were poorly yesterday, then at silly o clock this morning i had too make an urgent loo dash. Feel better now but OH did tell work he was still poorly and take the monsters to school and look after Squeaks for me which was amazing of him, so I slept all day:T

    Hello :)

    Congrats again Bruno (I congratulated you on facebook too)-fingers crossed for easier BF-ing this time around for your wife.

    How is everyone else doing?

    I've got loads going on in my head, don't even know where to begin to talk about it all. Mom's ill yet again, sister's struggling with being a single mom of 3 (eldest causing bit of grief) and I'm trying to be organised for xmas. On a positive note, since I last posted on here me and the hubby have had our first lunch out alone (without the little man) since having Elliot! I have managed lunch and shopping with a couple of close friends (again without elliot)-which was lovely :) He's been really well behaved for my parents and my hubby when I leave him, which is a relief.

    Elliot's currently fast asleep in bed, he fell asleep in his puschair so when I got home i transferred him into his cot and he's so worn out he didn't even stir when I took off his coat and shoes! :) So I have just enjoyed a cake and have a cuppa here. Time to relax!

    keely.
    Mommy to Elliot (5) and Lewis (born xmas eve 11!)

    I'm currently trying to get Katie to have a rest/kip to help her fight her bugs.

    Picked up the prescription, should be interesting asking a 3.5 year old not to swallow the medicine straight away.

    I've just beaten all previous Aldi shopping records 54 items for £43!!

    Keely - glad you have some good times.

    KK - hugs, make the mince pies and ignore the mess it what I would do :)

    I'm feeling positive today as deliveries are arriving - Katie's dolls house has landed today
    Proud to be dealing with my debts
    DD Katie born April 2007!
    3 years 9 months and proud of it
    dreams do come true (eventually!)
