  • Really hope the eczema flare up goes away as quickly as it came :(.

    Totally get what you mean about Mr SA ‘helping’. I get so frustrated with how S...L...O.....W DH can be while I’m fleeing about at 90 mph. More of a hindrance than a help Xx

  • Hope you've caught the flare up. DD's always flares at this time of year. Her face is awful! Not helped by the fact she cannot leave it alone. Even school have had to tell her 100 times to leave it!

    I don't have wrapping paper :cool: So can't wrap the presents!
    Hope you've had a good day x

    Cold is much better and the flare up is a lot better too after smothering it in 10 balm (no idea where I got this from, I just had it, but it's brilliant).

    I now have sellotape after resorting to buying some, what's the betting I'll find a load stashed away now.

    Funny incident on the way home from work - a woman stopped me to ask for directions to a cinema, had just finished showing her when another woman stopped me and said "I didn't realise you were giving directions" then asked me where Joules was :) I need a tour guide hat :) I wouldn't mind but I've lived here since I was 10 and still don't know where everything is!

    Super busy day at work, normally I'm saying is it only Tuesday, right now I'm saying OMG it's Tuesday already!!

    And all of a sudden I'm remembering all the things I still need to get for Christmas but forgot :eek:

    Oh SA hope you are feeling better tonight. Sounds like you have had a busy DIY time , and poor Mr SA hurting his back.

    Am sure it will look lovely when it's all finished .

    Almost back to normal now thankfully.

    Can't believe DS is 33 today! 33 :eek:He spent his birthday at the clinic with DGD having her injections then they went to Costa. Told him welcome to the adult world.

    Realised today I still had to get small gift for DS and DD, then remembered have almost £30 in Advantage card points. So got 3 for 2 - third one is mine :) for nothing :)

    Almost a NSD until remembered we are almost out of bread and butter, neither of which I eat, so spent £2.

    Still not wrapped any more presents though and have now realised I need batteries for DGS's present.

    It's ever ending.

    I WILL be more organised next year (cue pigs flying past).

    Can't believe how mild it is, had to unzip my coat and take my scarf off. Typical Christmas weather.

    Work super manic again but can now see a light at the end of the tunnel.
