think i am going to sleep well tonight! ds thoroughly enjoyed himself this afternoon! so did we. feeling all christmassy now. we left a bit early as ds is terrifed of father christmas and as he has seen him twice already we felt a bit mean inflicting him on him again but he still got a present before he went.

he's currently having a bath as we are all covered in glitter, glue and everything!

i notice on these soa's that people do that there is never an xmas budget blow out!!!-Mrs De is still after some jewellery for New Year but on this i am standing firm--NO means NO--some people accuse me of being unromantic but romance is for people who can afford it!!

Evening All

Went shopping at Aldi but ended going to Asda for a lot of things because Aldi had run out but I can honestly say
I AM DONE:j:D:j! Even bought extra booze for next Christmas (Beat the duty and VAT rise )

de1amo...... All that I have asked for is a dehydrator :cool:

Dinner tonight is a nice HM mushroom soup followed up with a cherry pie and custard ( I found a box of cherries lurking in the back of the freezer that we picked in the summer )

Don't like anything too heavy just before Christmas.

Have good nights all x

Looking forward to spending some time with just my own kids

We have left over pizza and sausages so might just have those for tea with some chips See what H says when he gets in.

I am ready for Christmas, apart from one pressie which is a CD compliation we're making for my dad, shall be doing that tonight (or I might sucker H into doing it for me )
Then this has to be wrapped and one other item and then you can stick a fork in me as I'll be done

I stuck this on my FB page but I love it makes me want to dance so I thought you guys would like it too.

I am going back out in ten, to Mr T's. Haven't managed yet, the traffic in Glasgow was awful, and DSIS had a friend coming for the evening so we had to come home. I will join in the drinks when I get back though, I will need them I am stressed to the max.

Evening all,

Travellers all here or accounted for, poor little DGD2 has a bad cold and not feeling the best although she was very proud to show us the gap where a tooth used to be and to tell us that she got €2 from the Tooth Fairy....DN thought that was very mean so reckoned she should keep an eye out for the fairy the next tooth she loses and haggle him/her up to at least double that amount!

Today has been busy...hoses and men with wet boots all over my house....water supply restored via hose so OH spent ages up in one attic (we have 2 just to complicate matters!) filling the water tank there....only one of the 3 toilets is working due to airlocks or frozen pipes somewhere, but at least the melting snow and flushing with a bucket is finished....no shower in operation but we have hot water in at least 2 bathrooms so washing is possible. Neither DW or WM in use so will be hiding dirty clothes all over the place and washing up by hand, am using DW as a drainer so no wiping necessary. We are going to cook and eat Christmas dinner in brother's...he is not having a problem with his DW or water supply!

Think that the season is going to be a quiet one, nobody is keen to move too far in current road conditions so we will be staying at home most of the time instead of visiting the inlaws as we usually do.

Kerry seems a little subdued for want of a better word....she was chasing around all day barking at birds who are trying to feed on seeds and berries in the garden so maybe she is just tired.

Hugs and good wishes to those who are not on top form for the season, keep warm and safe everybody.

Marie
