Thanks cheery

Back to normal today. DS was poorly yesterday so I had to cancel a training course. We spent all day cwtching on the settee watching DVDs. It was actually quite nice. Thanks to technology too I got a lot of paperwork type stuff done on the iPad with DS sat on my lap. But he's much better today so he's gone back to nursery as I've got my last schools session for this year this afternoon. As much as I love doing it, I'll be glad to finish to have a rest. These past weeks I've been pretty much working full time, coming home, picking up the kids, sorting them out with tea, baths, kisses, pj's etc putting them to bed then coming down and sewing til gone 10-11pm, going to bed before getting up to start sewing again at 5am to get a couple of hours sewing in before the day starts. Phew! All dresses are made now though. I finally sent DD's school play costume in today too. Only 2 days past the deadline which is actually good for me only dress left to make is a lovely pretty one for DD for her dance medal presentation night. She deserves a nice new pretty dress to collect her medals in, after all the work she put in for her dance and drama exams.

No money news today. DS and I are having a quiet 5mins before a busy rest of day.

DH and I were talking about putting our Christmas decorations up on the weekend. Problem is, we usually put the tree on the gas meter cupboard which is in one of the alcoves in the front room. This year DH's massive (compared to our last one) TV that he had for his birthday, is on there now so no room for the tree

Cue lots of "well where are we going to put it?" "I don't know, where do you think we should put it?" " I don't know" etc etc then DH suggested it go in the dining room. I don't want it in there because we only really use that at meal times. One of the best things about Christmas is relaxing of an evening with the curtains closed and Christmas lights on. So I'm having a bit of a sulk as I can't imagine our front room with no tree

Cheery_Daff

Ooh, I can't imagine the front room with no tree either! Can you move the tv?!

:eek: if I want a divorce yeah! :eek:

Seriously though there's no where for the TV to go unless it goes on the wall and I'm not keen on that!

starnac

Maybe I could suggest that the TV goes in the dining room for advent??? :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Oh we are having very similar conversation - oversized TV bought in Boxing Day sales last year ( no smash and grab like B Friday:eek: - that was just horrible to watch on the oversized TV!) OH just calmly walked into T*sco and picked it up - it was a planned and almost saved for purchase but maybe not quite so big.............!

Anyhow we bough a new piece of furniture for it to sit on - no TV on the wall here either - but where the tree use to go it will obviously block some of the TV. Anyhoooow we will remove a piece of furniture ,into conservatory for the duration, and I think it will be fine

I like the tree in living room too:)

I'd LOVE it if our tv went on the wall Currently got a giant (non flat screen) one taking up half the living room :rotfl: Mr Cheery wants flat screen and maybe one day we'll cave in but we don't have a wall to put it on!! :eek: two walls have giant picture windows (we used to be a shop) and the other two are opposite the windows, and Mr Cheery refuses to put tv on them cos you can see it from the street...

So unless it's stored flat against the ceiling and lowers down on a robotic arm when we want to watch it, it's staying where it is! :rotfl:

starnac

Ooh a robotic arm. That sounds like the perfect solution. Have you tried the arg0s catalogue :rotfl: :rotfl:

I've been invited on a Christmas night out tonight. I really want to go as in my job I have no one else to have an "office" Christmas party with but from what I've seen on fb the last two years they have all got so drunk most of them don't remember getting home! Now I don't want to get that drunk and I definately couldn't cope with the hangover from that with two young kids and a husband who is working all weekend. But I also don't want to be sober in amongst all that so I'm thinking of giving it a miss. Doesn't sound like fun from either side slightly gutted as it would have been nice to socialise

Night in with a cuppa and a reduced box of hair dye for me instead I think

You could always pop out for an hour or two Starnac, and if it all started getting a bit rowdy you could sneeak off? That way you'd get a bit of festive fun and a drink or two if you want one - nobody's going to be completely sozzled at the start of the night after all!
