Blimey.......can you package whatever it is that gave you that burst of energy and pop it in the post to me!!

The new total is quite motivating - hoping to see it change quite a bit this year!

Unfortunately I have been chatting on the phone and the energy fairy has decided to go and work her magic somewhere else Never mind .... I'm gonna plan my list for tomorrow instead and at least then I can go to sleep tonight without thoughts of to-do lists going round my head :rolleyes:

• Address all christmas cards
• Buy stamps
• Post cards :eek: (NEVER achieve this one normally!!)
• Get ds to write his cards for friends at school
• Get ds to decorate boxes for sweetie boxes
• Bath and hairwash for both of us
• Sort out my eyebrows
• Decide where xmas cards are gonna go :rolleyes:
• Plan whats left to buy for xmas presents
• Gut paperwork pile on table again

Think thats about it ... ds wants to make some more biscuits as well. Hopefully if we get up and get on with the cards then it may all be achievable ....

Morning all ... ds and I both managed to lie in until 8 this morning which is pretty much unheard of for him especially as he was asleep by 7:30 last night hopefully he'll be in a good mood now today :rolleyes:

Oops, didn't mean to submit that message, was still writing it and somehow it got submitted :rolleyes: anyway, where was I ... oh yeah, forgot to add a couple of bits to the list for today ...
I also am going to try to:

• hoover through
• dust through (before hoovering :rolleyes: )
• clean the bathroom (while ds is in the bath)
• make gingerbread biscuits with ds (already started asking me for this)
• christingle service tonight at church
• possibly go and see santa (in a shop up the road, its not a great one but ds isn't impressed with any of them anymore after seeing the "real" one last year in Lapland :rolleyes: )

Think the clouds must be going to run out of rain soon so we'll stay indoors until then ad then hopefully we'll get out for a bit later on Have a good day everyone!!

We had that problem. I don't think we've been to see a santa since Lapland three years ago (saves on money though, I suppose!). Another after effect is that DD still absolutely believes in Santa aged 9. After all, why wouldn't she? She's met the real one!

The guy in the shop up the road is an old family friend so he will know stuff about ds so that may impress him

benbenandme

The list isn't going too well yet today, so far I've had my bath but thats it Right, I must get on ... I'll go and do some bits and will come back at 12 as long as I've got some bits done off the list

benbenandme

The hoovering and dusting is done but then my Mum phoned so I came to a halt again :rolleyes: Think it might be time to start ds christmas cards now

benbenandme

I know its a bit early but I've just bought ds birthday present its not his birthday till July :eek: :eek: :rotfl: :rotfl: I saw on the argos board that they're doing huge boxes of magnetix reduced from £79.99 to £24.99 and I had £25 argos vouchers .... think I just couldn't bear the thought of my present box being empty in a couple of weeks time :rotfl:

We stopped at McDonalds on the way back and I got ds a happy meal but I was good and didnt have anything :T The car park cost 50p too
Soon I'll have to start planning my birthday/xmas budget for next year as I have also got sil terramundi sorted :beer:

Hi Benben! We went to see the real Santa too, a good few years ago now, but DD was having one of her "very ill" phases and was so ill that she didn't want to sit with Santa, and fell asleep instead! I was not impressed. What had made it worse was that the day before we went to Lapland we were burgled, so had been up all night with the police and the fingerprint guys etc, so by the time we actually got to Lapland, the last thing I wanted to do was traipse around a forest in the cold and dark!! A couple of years ago, DD said "Mummy, you know we went to see Santa in Lapland and I was ill and so I didn't want to see him? Well, now that I am better, can we go back?"

NOOOOOOO!!!!!

Of course it did prolong the belief in Santa for a lot longer than most kids we know, so I suppose the magic lasted!
