    aww bless. On a positive note, DD improved very quickly once she had the medicine, although she really didn't like the taste and I had to bribe her with sweeties. By day 3 she would be stood with mouth and hand open at medicine time :D

    They have been little boogers at bedtime, both sent to bed in disgrace. I've spoken to them both since to tell them why. DS was upset, but naughty mummy said he needed to learn his lesson. So there he stayed. They were getting very unruly. I'm guessing tiredness played a part as they both went very quiet very quickly.

    So. My last eb@yable had paid up, so have addressed package ready to go. And I've written all my crimbo cards :T ugh hate that job.

    Next job to get things ready for morning, then hot water bottle, cup of tea and bed!!! Ooh better find something for Benny the Elf to do...

    My son passed his theory first time last week..hope he can do the same with the practicalxx


    Maybe. He would have passed had he slowed down. Can't think WHERE he gets the speed bug from :whistle: I mean, it's not like I didn't tell him the tricks of the trade I learned on the speed awareness course:whistle:

    Still, I shall be driving him past your OH's place of work again soon - only gone and got himself a GF from there!

    DS will be 4 in about 8 weeks and DD is 2. She doesn't really get it tbh. They were with my inlaws sat, but he brought their advent calendars on sun, left them a mini real Xmas tree each yesterday, and this morning was found sat in front of the tv surrounded in half eaten biscuits and crumbs lol. I was at work early but MIL said they thought it was hilarious. He's currently scaling the wall trying to get at DS's advent calendar. :D I have actually got a little ceramic bath for storing soaps in that's just his size... Hmmm

  • Hello all!

    Managed to get a lot done today.

    Glad tomorrow is my bedroom as that needs doing. Will strip my bed as I get up.

    I'd love to copy and paste and cross off what I've done but I find it hard to c&p on my iPad.

    I have the toddlers carol concert in the morning so will crack on in the afternoon.

    Love, hugs and spoons
