  • Hi ammonite, roll on Christmas :)

    I certainly get more frustrated at the moment and I am finding a soak is the best way of calming down. I don't mean I am shouting and screaming,must I am less tolerant.

    Anyway, Mr T and the kids are cooking Nigella's chickpea and chorizo 'thing' for dinner.

    Have a lovely week.

  • Fortunately GG there were no piranha's about - sadly not much ice so very alcoholic - maybe that helped ease my mood?

    Well done on all your jobs by the way.

    13 weeks on Tuesday Tilly and the big man in the red suit will be visiting :D

    Me too, I'm just impatient with people and intolerant, no shouting just exasperated face!

    Great news about Hubby and the kids cooking dinner! I'm off to the in-laws for dinner which is always nice!

    running a lovely bath - which I might be persuaded to share with a caipirinha :T:T:T.

    A bath sounds like a good idea, I have a long week ahead so I might start it off in a relaxed way tonight.

    :eek: I may have to keep a count down, I have only decided on 1 gift so far, I may try and set a deadline for doing all my shopping.

    Oh My - 13 weeks is not long at all, I need to start getting organised!
  • Hi Ammonite, AJ, SD, you have prompted me to go and sort out my present cupboard. I have a few secrets to buy and I am going to make a big fuss about Santa stockings, as DD is growing up :)

    I have 3 things written down on my list: Spiderman Duvet Set, Pyjamas, Mike the Knight Helmet and Sword!!! I need to get cracking.

    I love making up Christmas Stockings and as this will be DS2's second Christmas I'll be able to add more bits and bobs in there.
  • Hi SD, that takes me back, they grow up so quickly.

    I am really looking forward to Xmas this year x

    I sorted the present cupboard out at the weekend and have a better idea of what I need.

    Me and OH had stockings last year as we are both a pair of big kids :D I'm trying not to spoil the baby too much as it won't have a clue what is going on and we'd be better buying stuff through the year for it....but I keep seeing cute things!

    Still got a fair amount to buy for Xmas but as I don't know what peoples what yet it is hard to start!

    Have a good day Til x
