3forholidays

:T Thanks for the update on JJ Freespirit. Hopefully JJ will get out of hospital for Christmas. JJ - if you are reading this, hope everything goes well and that you get home for Christmas.

:xmastree: I've finished writing my Christmas cards and wrapping the presents, so now just have to arrange the delivery of the pressies! :xmastree:

deannatrois The Toothless sounds fab! I demand to see pictures when finished... x

nic2075 I agree don't worry about the size of the pile of pressies. I saw something on facebook just the other day, I will try and find it but it was something along the lines of.... a child doesn't want a parent that buys piles of things to play with they want a parent that sits on the floor playing with them. x

CHRISSYG I do like the wrapping odd gifts video,.. handy to know... but takes the fun out of it a bit I sometimes purposely wrap things so you can tell what they are like an individual boot wrapped boot shaped.... lol. x

Sorry to hear your back in hopsital JJ good luck with getting home x

I went shopping today, town was surprisingly quiet, was able to pick up most the family cards half price in M&S, only one I've bought full price was auntie and uncle from Clintons, the M&S one was pants! My aunt always signs cards from aunt and uncle, and we learnt a couple years ago that she was miffed (she was half joking...) that on cards we just put their names, so now we make sure to buy special cards haha.
But.... popped in S'burys after, busier much busier... car park so busy some bloke parked so close to my car I couldn't get back in it! Had to go to customer services and get them to get him to come and move it so I could go home lol!

I would like to announce I LOVE WRAPPING!!!!!
Is there such thing as a professional wrapper? Because that would be like my dream come true....

Well it's been a busy two weeks and not in a good way. Ct. scans and apps now been told its serious extremely rare and also so young he is 39, we decided to play it down at the minute even to the children when I say children they are from my previous marriage and grown up and left home.i have been with Dh for 12yrs so they are very close. I'm Feeling very emotional I guess its because I'm so tired.
Happy belated birthdays to all that I've missed and it's wonderful news about JJ.well it's not long to go now girlies Christmas is my favourite time of year so despite everything going on in my life , I say Bring It On !!
Boo x

I've loved following this thread. I'm offline for a few days now - a very Merry Christmas to every one of you. Have a great time

Baby boo i'm sorry to hear your news, what treatment is he going to have? I know you have this hanging over you but I do hope you get to spend some quality time with him and enjoy your Christmas. x

Well I think the plan is going to change here for Christmas, DH has been suffering with a bad back for a while so was told to take a course of ibuprofen, but he now has a really painful stomach and after reading up on it ibuprofen can cause stomach ulcers. He is off to the doctors today to find out more. LO and I both have colds so I think i'm going to have to tell my family that they can't stay Christmas night. I feel bad as they're travelling to see us but there is 4 of them and it can get a bit noisy at night, DH didn't sleep at all last night as it is with his stomach pain so I think it would be unfair on him. I'm sure my family will understand but it isn't quite how i'd planned Christmas!

Baby Boo, keep strong & take time to just sit & enjoy life together. Miracles do happen & the power of positivity is priceless even just for the emotional wellbeing of both of you.

They have had a great run up to Christmas, we have done tons of crafts, baked cookies and cupcakes. I helped my 9 yr old make bath bombs for her aunties and gran. We have watched loads of Christmas films, had hot Chocolate and tonight we are going for a walk round the village to look at everyone's lights.

When they are older ask them if they remember what they got for Christmas in 2014 and I bet they cannot remember, but I bet they remember making the bath bombs and baking with mum xxx


Have a lovely family Christmas xxx
