How cute is your little Elf in her new hat msgigglewick? So, SoO0Oo cute :rudolf:

Picked up OH's card shuffler this morning for his poker night hamper. It turns out that it was only on display for for a few hours at £1... pricing error :mad: but having already set my sights on it & having other items all ready, I paid the £4.99 they wanted.

Just been one of those days ~rolls eyes~

Still, 1 more pressie closer to Christmas :xmassmile

Hi all Hope everyone is well. I have been disgusted with myself as I have no energy after being ill twice and have not even dusted in two weeks-I have hoovered. I normally give a wee dust every few days. I cleaned the bathrooms yesterday so at last am getting there.
I had to go to a meeting at my Mum's home so popped into Next and treated myself to the Hare that stands up. It is a bit large but I like it. I have not been shopping apart from this for ages so must make myself get out tomorrow. I also bought my Christmas cards.
Congratulation Nana on your weight loss. I am sticking to it but have only lost 4 lbs. I wanted to get rid of a stone by Christmas but I think it will be next Christmas.
Thanks to who ever mentioned the Christmas stag tee shirt from Bon Marche as mine came today and I love it. I can not wait to wear it at Christmas!

Been raining here all day. Am now dry and curled up in armchair with fire on watching The Polar Express. Dd is curled up on the sofa and Mia is curled up on her bed.
Could stay here for the rest of the day, but another walk will be needed in a couple of hours. I'm telling you all if I don't have the best legs ever by next Christmas I am going to cry. My thighs are killing me. It's not so much the distance it's the speed we walk. Her pulling is better now as I was given a longer lead by someone at work, but she still walks at quite a pace.
I just keep thinking -no pain no gain.

OMO tell your friend to get lost. I think people should be able to enjoy Christmas the way they want to and as long as you, your children and Mia are happy so what!!!!!!
Have you thought about a Halti for Mia as this could help with her pulling. She will not like it at first but will get used to it and it will let you and her enjoy your walks more.

Thanks mrsmoneypenny. Been a difficult couple of weeks but thankfully had lots of help from DH and our family. My mum is helping by giving me a break from my toddler each day which really helps as he is getting bored stuck in with me ;-)

mrs-moneypenny

marcodog, hope you are fully recovered soon, take your time and try not to do to much. Certainly don't beat yourself up or feel guilty for being so ill you dont feel like doing anything. that is your bodys way of stopping you because you NEED REST TO RECOVER

Argh! I just accidentally deleted all of my post!

FeistyFidget - I now follow your shop on facebook and I wish I lived closer! If I'm ever in the area I'll be sure to visit!
freespirit66 - I did indeed make my Christmas pudding wish it is an awesome old cook book, of course Mrs Beetons cook book was good to start with but add in Great Grandmas alterations it is the best!

I popped into sainsburys today, came home with advent calendars yay! Not had one in years being at uni, and leaving it too late, so this year we got in early. Do always have to share mine with dad though lol.
Also had a sneakly little reindeer find his way home with me they have cute little wooden ones, medium and large sizes reduced large was 3.99 instead of £6... think we might be going back for a medium one over the weekend
And best of all I am back good and proper I finally have my pretty pretty laptop back in full working order yay! I can type without holding each key down for a hour to get a letter lol. Just to get the spare one fixed now.. urgh

Thanks Mrs M. She's due around 24th November but is convinced she won't go that far and tbh, looking at her I think she might be right lol. We're all around this time of year in my family. Starts with me on 1st Nov, then Mum on 28th, then DD1 on 4th Dec, DD2 on 1st Jan and then my sis on 18th Jan and DGS1 on 23rd Jan. Odd ones out are DGD in May and DH in Sept.
