    happy Birthday Piggers.

    I have had a lovely time -with my family and have had some lovely gifts. I have watched Hotel Inspector today and thought of Honey Bear - Astor Hotel...

    DD has gone to her dad's and will be back tomorrow. Light fitting in DR still cannot be switched on but that's not a disaster.

    I flew yesterday (honestly) and did some washing/drying so the jumpers could finish off on the maiden while we were out...

    left the cats locked in and remembered to put a litter tray for the young cat in the bathroom as the young cat is so well trained she knows where to go. Unfortunately she only used it for number ones - number twos are in the bath if she can't get out.

    Thank you Honey Bear

    Sorry, was rushing earlier, forgot to say
    Happy birthday Pigpen :D.
    (I'm not poorly, the outbreak was among patients and other staff). We night staff were really vigilant and obsessive about hand hygiene and barrier nursing. I've only had the bug twice, September 1999 when it first appeared and October 2003 when I started my mat leave for having DS. We have a good immune system in my family due to me carrying it around with me.

    Phew. And relax. :D

    Kids in bed, visiting done, guests all gone home. I have a humongous cup of tea and the sofa and remote to myself :T

    The house is a tip :rotfl:

    Went on Vodafone chat today and was sent to the store. Which is in a rather large shopping centre. On Boxing Day. It was just mental. At least with all the guests I didn't have to take the kiddies. So they sent me shopping for an hour while the instore tech tried to start the phone, but it was no use. So they've sent it off to the fixing place :(

    Bought nothing in the sales. People were just demented. Were just picking up any old thing regardless of whether they wanted it or not. Only the price tag vs rrp seemed to matter. Still, got some more milk and fruit from mr s so we shouldn't need to got out till after the weekend.

    I'm not doing anything tonight - so tired.but tomorrow will need a rehoming / decluttering session. And DS wants to make gingerbread. DD bed is back in her own room but the rest of her furniture is all over. Basically the house needs putting back into place.

    Is it wrong that I want to put the tree away :o it feels dusty with all this stuff around.

    Hope all the poorlies have a much better night. X
