    Howdy festive strangers!

    Inhave had an exceptionally fab christmas. Christmas eve, ds1 dressed as santa. He waled passed our lounge window so two little ones would see him. Bless him. He hadnt done belt tight enough and his trousers fell to his ankles, he ran behind shed to readjust! Ds3 just caught sight of him in the corner of his eye and all he did was gasp out loud snd then pretend to be asleep on the sofa. I asked him what was wrong but he wouldnt answer. He peeked his eyes open and craned his neck, then shouted, i saw santa. We told him not to be daft, going along with our little trick. He got into a panic and thought he wasnt going to get any presents as he was awake!

    I pretended to go outside and look. Reassured him i defo couldnt see santa. Ds1 had readjusted himself and was back in action. He stood behind me and waved at the other two boys through the window and shook his sack at them and then did a thumbs up. Ds2 spring into action and it was like our very own panto. Hes behind you.. We just pretended we couldnt see him! Ds3 pipped up that we either dont believe enough or santa is invisible to old people! Hes 4!

    santa trotted off and disappeared. Boys were so amazed. They an upstairs to get their big brother, who ad by jow whiped off costume, he came charging out of his room and told them hed seen santa getting into his sleigh on the drive! Completely made our christmas. Now this is one of those times when big age gaps work to our advantage! It was pure magic for them.

    On the other hand, they were so not impressed with the micky mouse phone call after that!

    You are thinking on the negative side. Think of the positives.

    A. You have got rid of him

    B. You have the car

    C. You can go glitching and wombling:D

    my OH has gone out in the car:eek:

    A. won't be able to get to T's without it and I have 100s vouchers that expire today:mad:

    B. I can't go glitching or wombling. (I could walk to A's, but too lazy)

    Here's the positive:

    C. At least i've got rid of him :rotfl:

    The class rating refers to the sustained transfer rate for data. So the higher the number the higher the transfer rate. Your camera has to be able to match it though!
    Google 'memory card classes explained'

    Hey tweets! Sorry about all the misspellings. Cold fingers! Ds1 hasnt believed in santa for too long. His dad told him when he was 7 that it was all made up rubbish. I was devastated when he came home and told me. He was a star, i was really proud. Tbh, i thought h would moan but he revelled in it.

    Hope he ok laaCaz and docs look after him try not to worry i know its hard.

    Not many people know on thread but my mum rang me new years day 2012 around 9am and said she had rang emergency ambulance. I got to her flat and ambulance arrived just after i got there. My mum had suffered a mini stroke.

    Still not forgiven hospital she was sat in a wheelchair for 5 and 1/2 hours in A&E this was after ambulance driver said it sounded like a stroke. So much for adverts on tv get seen quick. :mad:
    When we got to see doc he apologised and replied something like they had to see to all the new year revellers first :mad: i had to leave the room and go outside where i cried my eyes out before going back in.

    One of the teachers from school i work at came in while we waiting she was in and out in under 2 hours trapped her fingers in chair while drunk and broke 2.


    did you complain . in writing/ person to the hospital manager/ helathboard? i think the way you were seen is unexceptable , and for them to basicaly say a drunk is more important than you mum is totaly out of order and she came in emergency - this is so wrong , everytime iv been to hospital we are told at the reception desk at A&E that all amblances are emergencys and will be before us ,

    im sorryy for the way you been treated its wrong and not exceptable :mad:
