they do snow fairy perfume now!! shame its online only and not instore

order online and have it delivered to the store. Personally I think it would smell sickly.. the shower gel is bad enough but thankfully only lasts a short time. It is very much a child fragrance.

Freesat channel 512 - NOW Christmas :j

Christmas songs all day, every day :j:j

I now have a reason for switching freesat box on :j. Tend just to use freeview as DH and DS are great fans of Dave channel

Hope things get sorted for you soon.

I've got ds2 at home with the flu, he's shaking and shivering, says he 'feels like an icicle' though he has a raging temp...poor wee man, he's vegging on the sofa with his duvet which is very very unlike him...he is a wee fidgit!

So i'm on the laptop downstairs keeping an eye on him-can't be on bed rest whilst he's poorly. I'm using this time to catch up here and doing a few bits of shopping (just a few Christmas dvds & stocking items) i'm full of the joys of Christmas...think i might watch a muppet christmas carol with ds2 this afternoon :-)

Hope you have had a lovely afternoon with DS and that he is feeling better very soon.


FF - I think a meal at your place would be a good idea as it would probably work out a lot better value than eating out and could probably be more enjoyable as it wont be too long before everywhere is heaving.

Called at Mum's to do her hair on the way back from hospital and when I got back DH had a lovely chicken dinner ready for me (yorkshire puds, stuffing, the lot :happyhear). Off out now to visit s-i-l - will probably have to de-ice as cars were frosty when we came in at 5.30.

Take care everyone

I am going to lynch DD2... this one, who has never been a minutes bother has been a little $h!t the last few months... she has.. this week.. decided that for Christmas she wants a new phone and laptop so has dunked her perfectly functional phone in a loo and 'lost' her laptop.... shame she is getting neither!!! I am sick of speaking to her college tutor .. especially as she has somehow got the wrong surname for me so calls me something weird and random despite being corrected several times! And she thinks she can come and go as she pleases and that it is ok to feed her latest bf here for free.. I am very cross with her tonight.. I might eat all the chocolates in her advent calendar and put coal in her stocking!

Dd (16) has her moments. I just keep telling myself it is a hard age to be. Not a kid and not an adult, and she will grow out of it soon. It's just boundary pushing.
Sending hugs. xxx

i know what you mean i get the shower gel every year for my girls but as they are all now over 20 i think it would be a bit kiddie for them.

DD2 will grow out of it pigpen but its annoying shes damaging perfectly good possessions, she will learn quicker if they arent replaced.

off out now got a gold evening at DS2 school, - golf along the corridors and up and down the stairwells:rotfl:
all good fun.

Well, heard nothing about my "problem" today, know I will be told when the latest happens, even if it is only through the grapevine.

Anyway, got a bit of get up and go, bought 3 presents after work, was quite pleased. Then went to have a look at shoes when I had a major crisis, no purse in bag. My poor heart, there was only about £5 in it, but my cards, driving licence etc were in and the thought of stopping my cards and waiting for new ones did not appeal. Back tracked and joy of joys, one of the girls at a check out had spotted it on the counter and put it in office for safe keeping. I was so relieved and so pleased to see there are still people to be trusted out there.

Thanks OMO for the Mickey Mouse book link. That's my 3 nephews sorted, have managed to reserve in my local store. Just need to convince DH that he wants to pop and get it tomorrow.

Had an amazing time at the Five concert on Tuesday. Looking forward to the craft fair tomorrow night. Also looking forward to next week, they are turning the lights on in my village on Tuesday and always have lots of stalls and fair rides. Then the Coca Cola truck is nearby in Broughton on Thursday. Taking the kids after work. Finally I'll be putting the decs up on Sunday as it will be Dec 1st! It'll be a Xmas filled week. Really looking forward to having our elf come and stay again too! Planned lots of stuff for her to do.

My Tree is up!!!:D
My oh waited nearly a week after coming home from afghan to put it up. It helps that it is dd1s birthday tomorrow and she had requested the tree up as it's up on her sisters birthday (16th december).

He put his light up model village up on wednesday night and the tree went up last night!

I'm feeling very festive:):)

Ooh lovely! Can't wait to put my tree up!

I'm still debating between next Saturday or the Saturday after....next Saturday is technically still November and I don't know if I'll be fully 'Christmassy' by then, but I shall see! Xx
