Oh gods LW I didn't realise Yule was this Saturday..and I haven't got my log in for this year. Oh darn... Will definately need to get my act together so that we can celebrate then.. Wonder why DH didn't remind me?
Oh darn it DH has now finished the call, that means he will be down here annoying me by working. Oh and I have just realised I have to take his jeans up before he goes to the panto with the little darlings from his school. After 3 years as a governor this is the first time he has been invited to the panto with them and he is over the moon...lol

Love it!I'm only a few short for DS but have absolutely nothing for his birthday next month. I'll worry about that next month!
It's OH's birthday on Twelfth Night, and this being a thespy household it's a big, big deal here. The only thing I find difficult about it is actually gathering together any presents having spoiled him over Christmas every year - do other people who have family members with birthdays in January have a solution to this?
Hugs for roxy7699, Skinty and huge hugs for Natty, and some *coping vibes*.
I've just had a Christmas round robin email from a friend who is coping with eight people among her family and friends group who have cancer. Hugs to everyone who cares about someone who is dealing with it or is dealing with it themselves.Better is good enough.0 -
We have a gammon :T
I also have a nice box of Th0rntons chocs for DDs nursery ladies. And some cranberry sauce. For me
OMG I really need to do some work. Right a HH paid stuff for me to get the ball rolling...
Honey Bear, what a sad situation. As if it isn't enough dealing with one! How awfulBossymoo
Away with the fairies :beer:0 -
I'm fed up.
I don't know what to do about Christmas and Santa and KH and what is best for the children.. the older 3 are refusing to even go to his.. I even suggested we do the Santa thing a day early and have Christmas day on Christmas eve so they can spend Christmas day at KH's and come home for dinner about 5ish but the older 3 are refusing to go and OH won't add an opinion and I feel like I am just being pulled in 100 directions with no regard for my feelings..
I simply do not know what to do for the best.. I seem to be tying myself in knots and no one is even offering any opinion on what they want. No wonder I feel about as festive as The Grinch.
I might copy and paste that as my fb status.. see if that gets a response from any of them.LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -
And.. I bonked the cat on the head with an empty kitchen roll tube...
:rotfl::rotfl: I have to ask .. Why?
Glad to see baking on today's list as I planned to do that anyway. Can't do upstairs just now as OH is sleeping. Will clear table and window area in living room ready for the tree instead.
:eek::eek: Did I really just say I'd tackle the worst part of the living room.
Sorry to hear about Ollie cat, and the BD popping up to visit people. I'll throw as many sticks as I can while I fly today.
Have a good day everyone.

Piggers I say go for it and post it..
Regarding the three older pinks, if they don't want to go to KH's for Christmas Day would that be such a bad thing. Let them stay at home with you all.. Maybe it might shake KH up and he might realise the kids don't like going to him and look at why.. Or is that too much to ask of him..lolMortgage Free as of 20.9.17Declutter challenge 2023, 2024 🏅 🏅⭐️⭐️

Pigpen. ((((Big hugs))))
Sounds like there's no way everyone will be happy. Why not do what you want? If no one else will make a decision you might as well decide and get your own way for a change.
Or ... You work hard all the time, so pull a sickie.. Take baby, knitting and retreat to bed. Let the family sort themselves out.
