Morning all, my sister and BIL landed up yesterday so nothing much was done. I don't know how they managed to get up the lane but i do know they had bother getting down.

I need to go today and finish getting the pressies and get a good food shop, we're all down to MIL's for christmas dinner but i like to do boxing day.

Rhys been up again through the night, i think it's just his teeth. DD still barking so i'll need to get her dosed up. Lane needs gritted before we go as well as a good fire put on. Hopefully tonight i'll have all pressies wrapped and ready to go.

Mumto5 hope you get sorted quickly at A&E.
Lamewolf Happy Yule.

Right i better go and get everyone fed and dressed. I'm really hoping not to be too long today.

Morning all

I was up just before 7 and have done an hour's marking - almost all done. School run next, and then back home to make a proper plan.

Stay safe and warm, everyone.

Morning all. I slipped down the stairs last night and bashed my right hand on the bannisters. Pain is terrible, can't sleep. Very swollen. Need to go to A&E for an Xray.

Feeling very sorry for myself:(.

I hope you get seen quickly at A&E and you are soon pain free
