    Phew - seasonal stress or what, DFw?

  • What's Christmas without the obligatory seasonal meltdown hey:rotfl: (or is this just me :eek:)

    Nsd yesterday and today. :T

    Hubby still ignoring me *rolls eyes and carries on*

    Panto tomorrow afternoon and also need fresh stuff for xmas day :)

    Totally not looking forward to boxing day and beyond. Wondering why we always have to do the travelling with the largest family and everyone else stays put. Guess I'll just have to look at the positives like free food (totally wiped out by cost of fuel but suppose no cleaning). Doubt kids will be happy either leaving presents behind :cool: wonder how many we can squeeze in the boot?!

    I totally understand about the not wanting to travel, I've already said I'm not going anywhere this year

    Hope the panto went well.

    Do you HAVE to travel? We used to do all the visiting over Xmas until we put our foot down and said no, it wasn't fair on the kids having to leave their presents so now we visit on Xmas Eve and stay at home all day.

    Do you get to stay over or will you have to drive there and back in one day?

    Hope it goes as well as it can do:cool:

    Maybe this time next year you'll be in your own place - then will be the time to announce that you're staying at home and relatives can come to you! ..So enjoy not having to host / cook / clear up this year; there's always a positive! ;)

    :xmastree: Merry Christmas DFw :beer:
  • Merry Christmas all :xmastree::xmassign::rudolf::santa2: hope you all had a good one! I've nearly lost my voice and am tucked up in bed hoping to beat the bug as we've got all the road trips ahead of us yet! Kids were up at 6.30 so not too bad, not as bad as the neighbours anyway! Thanks to our paper thin walls I heard them up and about at 5 :eek: I went bk to sleep till dd came in :D

    Anyway hope you all have a good few days of eating, drinking, being merry and all that shizz and I'll catch up with you all when I return :)
