    Morning WB :) Hope you're all feeling a bit better today and that the 2 older smalls have been dosed up on calpol and have managed to get into school. xx

    Afternoon

    We still have a red cross on the door :rotfl:

    Smalls slept a bit better unlike me.

    Still really not much extra being done than the basics. My ironing pile is growing and so is the to do list. I've not lifted anything from the freezer for dinner yet and I'm not sure what to do. Maybe jacket potato instead that's easy.

    Hope you all have a lovely day x

    We're on jackets tonight. Easy, delicious and filling :) There seems to be lots of germs going around at the minute. Every other person I know has something or other. :o Try not to worry about what's not getting done, resting and getting better is your main priority. xx

    Thank you Tea. Easy to please them all too as they can have it with different things without it being too much effort.

    Another real lazy day. Haven't really moved from the sofa. It's not as painful now so the antibiotics must be starting to work. Still very very swollen though and providing a lot of entertainment for the smalls.

    Definitely feeling more human now. As long as I keep on top of the painkillers.

    Have managed to get some cleaning done. Need to kill the germs :rotfl:

    DS wanted porridge for dinner? I thought he'd be bored of it by now but there you go. Have a feeling he'll still want a potato when They are ready. If not I'll join the girls and have 1 myself ;)

    Hoping this is definitely the worst of it over and I can pull the big girl pants up and get on with everything that needs catching up tomorrow.

    These dark nights are upon us now and it feels like there's very little hours of daylight. Instead of a countdown to xmas I'm on the countdown to more light.

    Thank you :)

    Everyone's in bed. Going to get their things sorted for school and settle down myself with a book I think.

    I have an epic to do list wrote out for the next few days with lots to get sorted.

    Going through the diary and to do list. Only for 2 weeks as that's enough for now.

    We have

    Tomorrow - Youngest nurses visit.
    Thursday- Afternoon event at school.
    Friday - my own appointments and youngest appointment.

    Sunday - young carers xmas party
    Monday - school pantomime And my own appointments
    Tuesday- Youngest nativity and consultant review
    Wednesday- Xmas dinner day/xmas jumper day

    Friday - Xmas fayre and my own appointments.

    The week after is just as bad with more Nativities and xmas parties at school.

    All money :o I also need to get them xmas jumpers (however will be t-shirts as it's cheaper and in a bigger size so i get to use them next year too:o)

    Hoping youngest can attend her nativity. She needs an angel costume

    Nativity tickets are £2 each. However not for the children this year just myself.

    Back with more as I get to it.
