    evening all
    were nearly there - the day weve been waiting for all year. my dd is here with me and shes sleeping over. im thrilled to have her here but also really sad as shes grey and dirty. ive stripped her clothes and theyre in the machine. she has a nice fresh bed to sleep in. shes had a small meal but she feels unwell with really sore throat and aches and pains. shes under a blanket now and just had some paracetamol. i dont know whats going on in her head...is she ill or just depressed.
    my little boy has had his christmas eve bag. really annoyed as the dressing gown was age 9/10 on the label but when he opened it it was age 5/6. dont have the recepit but will still be taking it back.
    weve been to our friends and it was wonderful. how she decorates her house at christmas is really lovely. we sat under the twinkling tree and the kids were all happy and playing and i felt happy for the first time in ages.
    hubby getting a sleep as hes been busy at work today. ive been doing cleaning and bits and bobs. i have no pressure tomorrow as he does everything. i will be greeting and doing drinks.
    a sincere thankyou to all who have followed my story. as i look at my dd i know there is more stress and trauma to come but things are slightly easier. i cannot wait for the new thread to start.
    happy christmas to all my friends xxx

    Wuvvies that is such great news :) xxx

    Great news Wuvvies, hope you have a great day tomorrow. X

    Had a great day of prep, I ended up cooking the turkey and slicing it its in gravy now, ready to re heat tomorrow. All I need to do tomorrow, is the roasties and everything is ready to go.

    The kids are bathed and watching Elf they have been tracking Santa all day.

    I'm going to have a couple glasses of Prosecco once they are in bed and watch 'Its a Wonderful Life'

    Merry Christmas to you all. Hope Santa is good to you :D :xmastree:
