    Hi everyone

    Just popping in to wish you all a Merry Christmas, the train lights went up for 1st Dec and the rest was put up last weekend so we are feeling all festive here.

    Pockets of CHAOS all around but I refuse to worry about it all, worse things happen at sea and all that. The kids have held a surprise party for my birthday today, W had a door policy :laugh: fortunately my name was on the list, in fact I had a VIP ticket :D He breaks up from school tomorrow, Miss A broke up last Friday.

    Hoping you are all well and looking forward to Christmas.

    Don't let him mess you around, sweetheart.



    Minion has destructed the clean kitchen and taken up residence on the new futon. She is right on the edge of trouble now.

    Morning all

    Belated Happy Birthday AnWsMum, I glad the lights are up, Happy Christmas to you all.

    Popping out to look at a car this morning which a friend of a friend is selling. Idea was to get it as a learner car for DS1&2 but I think the insurance is going to make it unviable.

    I want to finish the tidying of the family room and kitchen today and get DS2 room clean. Also need to go and buy a birthday present and card.

    Time to get a wiggle on.

  • And WHY am I wide awake at this time of the morning? Having not quite managed to go to sleep at all overnight? :mad:

    Morning All

    I've had a bath and the WM is on - well it's just finished actually. I need to go to the PO today at some point and SW tonight but my mum says she'll keep the kids longer tonight so I can do some wrapping. I want to try and get the downstairs done this morning so I'll see how I get on. I also need to write some more Christmas cards.

    Penpen - you're on my lists but as penpen do you want me to change it to your full name?

    Have a good day all

    Hugs
