  • :eek: I forgot it was bonfire weekend!

    We will have a fire tomorrow I think.

    The local display is tonight though :o I don't know if I want to take the smalls or not. Youngest doesn't like fireworks :cool: Neither do I to be fair but would go for the smalls.

    I haven't really been anywhere other than to Mums yesterday :o So now I'm worrying abit :o I'm sure smalls will understand if I say no but then I feel bad :(

    I'm not sure what to do! I can't believe I forgot :o

    Well, with one sick, one who doesn't like fireworks, you not too well and the boy still feeling on top of the world for getting the headteacher's award I reckon you can get away with not going to the display. Would the budget stretch to some sausages and sparklers or the 5th. Your really good at improvising . Get them to make firework cakes - I know they don't really exist but if you tell them that's what they are they'll believe you because you're a great mum and they love you. xxx
    Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.
  • Thanks Tonisfriend.

    I did get out of it :o :rotfl: We are doing movie night although two of them are sleeping already :rotfl: So will have to do another tomorrow.

    I'm going to spend the time to sit with a coffee and redo the meal plan and finish the December activity a day chart.

    Well done to DS xx

  • Thank you, he's so proud :D

    He also brought home a form the other children in the class fill in about him. They get one each and it's passed around. It says things like
    You're genius
    You make me laugh
    You're a good friend
    You make me happy when I am sad
    etc

    So I think he's on top of the world as am I x

  • Morning lovely,

    Really glad you're feeling much better.

    Bah to the phone, did I read it right that someone's sorting you one? If so that's good and will help short term.

    Well done to DS, he's every right to be beaming and definitely proud mummy :D

    Glad DD is feeling better, there's a few sickness bugs going around.

    Please listen to the doctor and don't overdo things, you'll put yourself back. Make sure you rest in between doing things.

    Big hugs xxx
