  • Evening! Another day of behaving food wise. And I had melon & yoghurt for pudding when everyone else was cramming down steamed jam pudding.


    The FCC virus seems to have spread. The Bloke emptied his cpra out of the cupboard under the stairs today :eek:

    DD's room only had a pair of dirty socks on the floor :eek: :eek:

    Shifted the furniture around in the living room, so I get a better view of the TV :). The cat still gets to snore beside me whilst everyone else is relegated to the less comfortable seats :D

    All I have to do is the landing and my room.

    Oh, and

    1. IKEA
    2. Collect Fresh tree from nursery
    3. Do tree & deccies
    4. Presents
    5. Food
    6. Panic

    [rearrange as applicable]

    Can you believe that there is not one delivery from Ocado to my house available for the whole of December? Oh well, I'm half a mile from the market/butchers/fishmongers/meat market, so it's not a disaster (and will probably prove to be much, much cheaper).

    Can't use Mr T's because they don't recognise my address on their database and won't amend it themselves (it's not allowed for data protection) so they can get lost. I'll spend my money somewhere else.

    At least the house finally seems to be getting under some kind of control now.

    Thanks to FCC [mwah!]
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Morning All

    I've got a load of ironing to do so I think I'll do a HHI in a min and then hopefully DD will be up and we can go and walk the dog. I've got a binbag of stuff to go to school with them as it's their Christmas fair tonight. I've also got stuff to sort out for Beavers for tonight and also for next week as the KS1 Christmas play at school is Monday night so I'll have to be there and it clashes.

    Have a good day all
