well, told dd's their ss's arent coming & they were understandably gutted! so i have decided to cheer them up...dh said i couldnt put "the christmas tree" up until dec 1st...soooo....i have just transformed our hall into a mini winter wonderland, blue lights around doors and mirror, blue & silver tinsel around picture frames, and a few snowman & snowflake sillouttes dotted around...but no christmas tree!! i know its early, i know dh will do his nut when he gets home at the weekend, but ive been wanting to decorate since nov 1st so i think its a brilliant compramise! i cant wait to see kids faces in the morning...now just wondering if its too early for the elves to make an appearance lol!

Another craft ruined :mad: Just attempted lip balm and my beeswax and body butter separated! I'm not impressed as spent a fair amount on ingredients and the little pots too

I cheat. If it isn't from a shop it is home-made.

Melt some petroleum jelly in the micro, and add some coco powder.
Put in small pots, and let it set.

You now have home-made chocolate lip balm.

pinknfluffy28- A shame your step DDs are only interested in the presents and your DDs being disappointed. Enjoy your winter wonderland! x

Hi everyone. Feeling a lit bettr after my third trp to hospital yesterdya. Sac has passed and everything looks on its way ack to normal. But the best bit . . . . the nurse/midwife ws so lovely kept sayng you know it isnt anything you hve one it isnt your fault this has happened. Of course I do know this but she is the first to say this to me nd actually treat me like a human being rather than a non entity!

So today I sat and did 4 hampers and also made tags and packed the ikea santa brown bags from Ikea for my ds nursery teachers. All while watcing Christmas 24 with a mulled wine tea. HAve tosay I watched Christmas cottage and Christma in Boston and ended up crying buckets at both such a whoose:o
