Wow mum2one, what is it with that school! I blame them... If they hadn't started it with taping off your house like CSI this would never have happened. I hope that heads proud of himself(not) .
That's the trouble with these 'perfect families' they think they can do what they want and organise witch hunts. Well good on you for going to the police, personally I would have gone for all of them. !! And let them swear on it over Xmas whether your going to take it any further.

I hope your both ok including ma and pa hoodie... Hold your head high girl


On a positive note well done on your takings , that's what probably riled them up. Lol jealousy.

Sorry about what happened after too with the medical centres... It all comes at once doesn't it..

*waves to Angela!*

Well done on your stalls mum2one. Shame yours wasn't so good rufus.

mum2one - OMG, what a nightmare. I hope the police can sort something as the school are obviously useless!!!! Big hugs to you and the hooded one!

Well I'm shattered! Went to see Phantom of the Opera last Thursday night, had a Xmas do Friday night, then worked a murder mystery Sat and Sun night, and then ran a Kids Xmas party yesterday in work!! Now just need to finish tidying the house, make a massive castle birthday cake for DD for Sunday, one more murder mystery Saturday night too...then once DD's party is done on Sunday, I can relax!!!! Phew. DH has wrapped all pressies for his side of the family - I haven't done any for mine yet, but I have over a week from DD's birthday so I'm not panicking.....

Hope all your preparations are going well!!

Oh, and while typing this I've just had some fab news that two very good friends of mine have just gotten engaged!!! YEAY!!!

A bit of an update of the school saga, - from the sounds of it I have put the frightners on the head master, - had a letter from him to say that he will fully co-operate with the police, and deal with the other members once the police have finished.

Miss Hoodie gave us a bit of a fright this morning, her lips looked she had botox, bless her, but luckly a Piritron did the job.

We have gd news, we now have Miss hoodies xmas prezzie sorted, was going to be the 3ds - but got talking to a friend who use to work in sales and when the 3ds 1st came out there was so many complaints about vision, and you have to hold it at certain angles to get the 3d, and the best bit theres built in warnings saying after 30mins stop and wait 30 mins b4 replaying... so I explained to her that I won't risk any damage to her eye sight, so shes ok.

So her surprise is another ballon trip, - (grandad hoodie has to go as well!!), and having the tickets delievered in a box, so when she opens it out pops a ballon with the tickets on. Plzed - just need to get her Olly Murs CD then a few stocking filler s

Awww that's a lovely surprise pressie for Miss Hoodie. It's great that she accepts the info about the 3DS.

Great news from the headteacher. Lets see if he stands by it!

Hi,

Hope you dont mind me joining? Being reading here for the last few weeks but never managed to comment before my break was over!

Anyway theres some great ideas here and Im already starting to use some for next year.

We are getting a tin this week to start saving for next year (has to be a tin otherwise we wouldnt get too tempted to open every so often! We usually get £1 tesco tokens weekly to help towards christmas but weve just decided to put everything in the tin so we are limited to one shop (plus I love my farm shop more and its cheaper!)

Looking forward to hearing more ideas

susan42

Hi weeclick, more the merrier

good idea about putting money in tin, theres so many different shops to choose from and they all got different offers

Mum2one, im going to scream (aarrrrrrgggggggggg) that headmaster should cooperate, it was him that started it in the beginning

As regard the 3D thing, colin has a 50 " 3d tv, he has a thing about tvs lol and I cant watch it as it makes me feel so ill. When I`m in the room he has to put it on 2d. So I would have hated for you to waste your money and then find Miss Hoodie cant use it.

Well OH went out with dog this morning and dog was like scooby doo on ice ,I was killing myself laughing. Then Colin went down was trying not to laugh but it so funny. He was ok apart from a few bruises. I gave him an early xmas present and hes sat on settee with a jigsaw .

I did tell him to go back out and warn the neighbours but he refused. So I just used all my salt, on the path as our neighbours are old and dont want anything happening to them

So be careful all...stay in keep warm

mum2one

Susan - would offer my magic hands but not sure what part of his body Colin hurt, hope he's ok, and having fun with the jigsaw.

Weeclick - A big hi, def sounds a brill idea with the tin, nice surpirse next xmas.

We checked the weather for lapland and for next Wed its forecast a warm!!! -9C glad got thermals. Give u a laugh Miss Hoodies thermals were £14 a pair, I got mine for £2 a pair brand new off ebay!!

Miss Hoodie and grandad hoodie off to the football match 2mor! so a peaceful afternoon is planned!

Hope everyone ok and wrapped up warm! xx

mum2one

I have just ordered nanny and grandad hoodie there joint xmas prezzie - a steam mop!! he moans since having the wetroom he gets on his hands and knees to do the floors, so this help him!!

They do have a nice prezzie each - he's got Whisky, she's got knickers (its what she wanted!!), yes my mother has odd tastes! xx

susan42

Mum2one - I don't see any problem with knickers.. I hate buying them. Seems wasted money... Lol . OH loves socks, he loves having socks and shampoo. OH got a steam mop and he says its ace for tiled rooms, but he been using it on wood flooring and I noticed its damaging the flooring so baned it on that .

Have you heard from Mary? It's odd her disappearing like that .

What you all upto? Must all be busy for Xmas ... I haven't anything to do.. It's all done which is odd. I'm just pottering away in the craft room.

I got OH one of those wagjyi jigsaws. First our elf bought him a 54 piece one .. Well being a man he didn't read the box and launched straight into it to tell me there was something wrong with it! When I explained they're jigsaws with a twist he got the idea and did it.

2 days later Otis sugar socks (elf) came with a 500 piece one. Never known OH to be so quiet. He tells me all the time how he's getting on He did mention thank gosh it's only 500 pieces as its hard . Well hidden in the cupboard is a 1000 piece one ....

mum2one

Susan - I had to smile at the jigsaw - will he be escaping on Xmas day to do his jigsaw. I've brought dad a jigsaw - steam train from down where we go in Devon.

Leaving mum instructions on what to wrap, she can't go to wrong, as dads got Whisky and a tool kit, then keep an eye out for parcels, finished last of internet shopping, a certain young lady keeps writing new lists for Santa.... No more... after being mad and buying an americam print oneies....

No news from Mary, not like her not to be about, keep fingers crossed. xx
