    Cooeeee

    Hugs all round.

    Those with kids or anyone in the 'know', adopted gs came back from school, in a mood, as it seems, his team from cubs, didn't get in to round 2 of a quiz they were having about Father Christmas, bearing in mind I am in Asia, Father Christmas is not really high on the agenda here!! they failed on 3 questions.
    1. Who's birthday is on 25th December. He accepted his team didn't know this.
    2. What does father Christmas drink, his team answered sherry or beer, both of which were wrong, it seems the correct answer is orange juice......now I have never heard of this OJ indeed, am I out of touch??
    3. Name all the reindeer.........they managed 2.

    But he is most cross about the orange juice answer, and wants me to tell the leader that she was wrong! so what does FC drink?

    Daily stuff done
    Tree up finally, small dog kept knocking it over, so it is now up on a table out of the way.
    Swimming done.

    Take care x

    Father Christmas most certainly doesn't drink OJ! At least not when I was growing up...it was sherry, brandy or whisky with a few biscuits and a carrot on a pile of hay for the reindeer!

    Pixie changed and watered.. doing lunch for the 2 naughties who were squabbling the second Squeak got in from nursery!!


    Going to do a speedy HHC in the kitchen while their food cooks, see if I can get a wash basket emptied! OH can help.. that'll equate to a 45minC.. he is very slow and I get twice as much done as he does.

    More gifts bought but DS2 has had the best gift of all today, an offer for LSE - I said OMG 10 times in a row whilst trying to drive him to school.

    Back to reality and to the paid stuff now.

    Today I want to:

    Cut DHs hair
    Wrap last few presents
    Hoover skirtings
    Mop floors

    Sleep for more than 4 hours in any 24 hour period...! Poor sleep pattern!
