Don't kiddies say the best lines, little_sweetie, usually in their own well chosen way too....and sometimes the looks can say so very much more. :A We have our 2 littlies and their elder Sister coming to decorate the tree (and windows) later. I doubt the middle Grandsons will bother...all beneath them now at 16 and 15.

Hi Sue don't they just
Aw, I wish I was coming to help decorate your tree. I'm not allowed to have one
OH says it's a waste of money and not 'green' to get a real one and that artificial ones gather the dust. I think he's just a scrooge (Bah...humbug) I've sneaked in a tiny one ( about 5" high) which my DD bought me 3 years ago when we first moved in...teehee....
Hope you and T are well. Enjoy the Christmas spirit! :xmassmile

Welcome back LC2 :j :j :j (shes my buddy


)
Well its a definite yes on the Impetigo for Miss Lily,
but on the plus side only 48 hr exclusion from school (unlike the 2 weeks at DS's old school despite the Medical professions recommending 1 week at the time and him being totally clear of any leasions within 3 days :mad:) so she wont miss the school play OR the school christmas party 

(she did miss the christmas dinner, but we just havent mentioned it
)
£4 in the pot yesterday from selling a book on FB + 31 pence out of my purse. Need to go to the post office today so hopefully some more pennies later
