Bathday card almost done; it's printed out, just need to attach a few embellishments now. I managed to find a cute picture of a Mabari (war dog in the Dragon Age series of RPG games, for the uninitiated) that seemed just right.:o

Think about what you want from the festive time - I don't mean gifts! I want us to try get out in the fresh air a bit more as a family. I'm going to plan some walks in during the school hols. One will be in Lapland!!!

frizzle my boy is 7 next month and still very excited about the elves. They've already gone to find them

They were up far too early so they are now in DD room reading a story to the elves

Paid stuff at home today. I only have 2 more days in the office this year! The rest are at home or traveling. I do want to pop to @ldi today for a few essentials but that will only take half an hour.

I actually did my bathrooms at the weekend so a swish and swipe may suffice.

Have a good day everyone and hope the poorly ones improve xx

How on earth is it Wednesday already? Tell you what, with J away the weeks go very quickly as he's home again tomorrow evening.

Today need to wash our bedding so will get the WM on, take S to school and then me and a friend are taking the dogs out for a walk - probably stick to the roads as she has a white wire haired fox terrier who gets filthy and everywhere is so muddy right now. Then back to attack the bathroom and see if I can find anything else to go to the tip tomorrow. Got someone coming to see some toys I put on Facebook this lunchtime. Considering going to the allotment this pm, will see what the weather's like.

Have a good day all x

Ooh - how exciting! After all your hard work this term you deserve a break with your family.

My list for today:
- Check finances
- Type up and email notes
- Deal with German email
- Email completed forms once I've got the last bit of info I need
- Prepare for this evening's course
- Move about 1/3 of a cubic metre of soil that has been cluttering the front garden for over a year - the bag is too heavy to lift in one go, so it will have to be shovelled into trugs (need OH to help)
- OH to move a smaller bag of gravel (= railway ballast) into the shed
- Tidy front garden, back lawn, decking and yard (perhaps I can persuade OH :A to do some of this)
- Tidy the utility
- Find a few more decorations to add to the Christmas wreath and hang it on the front door
- Wrap up a parcel for my SiL
- Finish writing family and friends' cards; add letters to some and a cheque and gift envelopes to one
- Sort out bags of baby clothes from DS2 and take some to CS - pack the rest away in the airing cupboard, to be sold next year
- Tidy the study bedroom
- Wrap some presents
- Go to my course this evening

House will be cleaned from top to bottom tomorrow :rotfl:

Hope everyone has a good day. (((Hugs))) spoons and sticks all round x

well I slept downstairs in my chair as upright as possible I got more sleep just am utterly shattered.. did wake every 2 hours but I do that anyway.

~Cold is possibly a little better .. here's hoping.. I'm still glad the outlaws aren't coming today like they planned though.. sociable is not a thing!


Off to get girls ready for school then seeing if I can get a couple of hours in bed this afternoon.. OH is at nursery with Dot this morning making Christmas crafts!

Not certain how effective I will be today - went out for tea with work friends, followed by a trip to see Jason Donovan in Priscilla Queen of the Desert. Fantastic night!

Ended up walking almost 5 miles with my friend, chatted all the way round and it was lovely. Made the decision to talk to J on Friday about our marriage, let him know how close he is to losing everything and hopefully that will give him the kick up the backside he needs to start treating me properly. My parents have already said I can go to them with the kids and they'll take care of everything but I'm hoping this will put the frighteners on J. Why are relationships so hard??

Anyhow, having a quick cuppa and then going to do the bathroom. Does anyone fancy a HHC (or 2 - or even 3) at 11.00? I'll carry on but feel free to join me if you like.
