    I saw one mum who's LO is two weeks old furtively passing the rasp leaf tablets to a very overpregnant mum this morning! We're a fertile lot hereabouts, they're on numbers three and four respectively.

    Just have time for a quick couple of swigs of rooibos before heading off to get DD. I'd hoped to get some wrapping done too this afternoon but my husband keeps ringing me from his business trip so I've spent half the afternoon on the phone! I always get a busy about now and want to do loads and don't want to go off to school, but from January she'll be on the school bus so my day will be longer :D It's just DD and me this afternoon, both the stepchildren (who live with us) are off doing things til 9pm so DD and I are having fried eggs with home-made chips, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

    We have our tree up I'm a bit embarrassed to admit - I think it's a bit early but everyone else wanted to get it done last weekend so now we're fully lit up :xmastree: Nat had a bit of a moment buying new lights - in the end it only cost us about £35 for a good £50+ of lights but it wasn't In the Budget :naughty:

    Oh, DH back on the phone again, 'scuse me LOL!
    If you can't be a good example, be a dire warning :D

    MBNA charges and interest frozen
    Egg/DLC repayment agreement reached

    Feels like progress!
