Oh bless you. Sounds like you did do too much. Another lady who needs rest. Hope it was a good one.

did you win the mashed potato debate?? We tracked Santa on Norad too, and we always leave Rudolph a bonio...stems from a time when we had a dog and no carrots, now we have carrots but no dog, but I'm tied into buying the bonios anyway.

hehe.. I won the mashed potato debate as in I just never cooker them. Cooking for 8 adults and 2 kids while 7-8 months pregnant with high bloodpressure and a screwed pelvis so what I said goes.

Dh said by 7pm it lookied like i just had thighs and toes, my legs swelled that much. DD1 is being somewhat challenging, I have legs up on sofa so Dh is handling it and i am having to bite my tounge not to interfear. He lets her away with a fair bit more than I do in some respects but alot less in others. My mil is repaying meal from yesterday by doing gammon tomorrow for us...

DD1 has improved after a giant poop. DH has done 3 loads of washing including guest bedding and the christmas table cloth and napkins. My BIL stayed last night, he doesn't get along with his dad any better than I do and TBH that was why I had so many for lunch anyway. BIL wanted to come to us for lunch not his parents because of his dad (BIL gay, FIL openly homophobic). My BIL split with his long term partner in october after 7 years so difficult time of year even although they are still friends but the ex wanted to move to follow his work, BIL has a decent job an a future where he lives and alread moved there away from friends and family for the ex partner. TBH I think they still love each other but both to stubborn to make a compromise.. anyway BIL only told my husband he was gay about 18 months ago officially, he knew because he told DH about 12 years ago while drunk then vomitted all over the place, anyway this summer BIL decided it was time to 'come out' FIL was a total rude offensive obsecene bigotted idiot, DH nor BIL will answer the dad back but I am not as shy so had choice words for FIL. BIL now point blank refuses to have anything to do with him but FIL and MIL still together after 40 years and she is nice so I am stuck in the middle.

Anyway this isn't a rant about the inlaws BIL got up with DH to sort the kids this morning to let me sleep being nice men they are.. St Stephens day brekkie for kids, choccy buttons, ribena all washed for with some pringles then a jelly with squirty cream.... MEN!!!

I still haven't though of that - we really threw a lot out and it is just lying on top of the snow!

Hope your legs are better today. Lol at the brekkie, hope you don't suffer for that later today.

legs not good, BP not good, i'm confined to sofa today back to day assesment/MW/antenatal ward tomorrow for CTG and bloods. DD1 got a doctor set for Christmas and she is apparently making me better. I am mummy patient and need an operation.

Hope you are managing to rest and all appointments go well tomorrow.
