    Morning All

    Well am sat at work watching the blokes put all the christmas lights up around the bandstand.

    Littles had sleepover at nannies last night so we went out for a meal which was lovely and much needed!

    This morning we have pulled everything out of the garage so we could get to the chest of draws I wanted to put in the girls room and get the computer desk for the lounge. We have now moved furniture around in the lounge and the computer is set up in there. I moved furniture around in littles room and need to finish off when I get home.

    Have decided which dress I am keeping (plus shoes and new bra:D ) so need to parcel rest off and get sent back for refund.

    So apart from the lovely pigpens daily lists this week I MUST:-

    Stay on top of iroing, will do 1/2 per day everyday (unless nothing to do)
    List ebay items - load of stuff so need to parcel, weigh etc so I dont get caught out on the postal charges
    Order party invites for DD's birthday (or make them)
    Look for xmas cards and wrapping paper
    Buy last couple of gifts that are required
    Start working out christmas food list (I will not go over the top!)
    Do on-line tesco shop
    Look out for slowcooker recipies

    I am dreading the ebay bit. Its all their Happyland stuff so will all need a good wiping down and splitting into correct sets etc. Then I have got to find boxs to pack it all in. Plus if I do it when littles are around they will start playing with it - even though they want to flog it to buy the playmobil castle.

    Right off to think about xmas and make a coffee:D

    Morning all

    One load of washing done, I've hung it out but it's been misty and the sun has been in and out. At least it's out of the way for a few hours but I reckon I'll have to finish it off on the radiators later.

    House is pretty tidy - except for DD's room. She's packing to go on holiday next weekend and her bedroom is buried under clothes and paperwork :D But she gets to clear up so I'll just shut the door!

    Roast cooking. I made a crumble yesterday and there is half left so that will do for pudding.

    I've been buying a few things for Christmas with the shopping lately. I've got a cake, two puddings (I know I should make these, but I don't want to;)), a tin of biscuits, a tin of Roses and a box of All Gold. I've got pickles and stuff on the next order and I'll get some savoury nibbles the time after. Won't need much really anyway. I'm lucky because my eldest daughter gets a free-range turkey from her work and she's away for Christmas so we're getting it. I'll just get a bacon joint or something for a bit of variety.

    Take care Michelle :)

    I've just had a drop of custard and hopefully it will stay down, hubby still in bed and kids are going bonkers. Gonna go and get hubby up to bring in a bag of coal to get the fire lit.

    Pigpen you've got me in the christmas mood now so think i'll do up a list of what everyone's getting.:xmassmile

    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    HONIES I'M HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Armed and dangrous with broadband!!!!

    Right, quick update

    Most important bit first, Matthew, thank you so much for all the fingers crossed, prayers and good wishes. He had his op and is recovering really well. Started breathing for himself Tuesday and was put onto the normal ward instead of ITU on Thursday night. He's doing VERY well.

    Us well, we have a living room without boxes, still unpacking and fitting/fixing stuff. Curtain rails upstairs today, save having sheets at windows :o I also need to do a tip run with the empty boxes :D

    I will try and catch up with you all later, lots to do, hope you are all well, big hugs from all of us :) missed you all loads.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    That is FAB news Lil_me:j . Good to have you back we have all been so worried about you:D .

    I just found out wilkinsons are now on-line and you can get 4 - 4.5% cash back via quidco, so for those having trouble getting stardrops you can now buy in bulk:D . I have just ordered some nice smelly candles etc for xmas presents.

    Any yes I am very, very busy at work today:p .
