    Tia it's half the battle knowing what is wrong, hope he has a speedy recovery.

    re xmas cards: I keep looking at them but they're so expensive :eek: and tbh not very nice, I'm not liking any I've seen yet. I'm so fussy! lol

    You sound like me - I have looked at some and thought exactly the same. I am toying with not sending any this year but it does seem bar humbug and is bound to offend some people.

    I did see some that had Bah Humbug on them :D but I thought to myself, if you were really a bah humbug you wouldn't be buying/sending cards anyway :confused: my mind is a funny place sometimes lol

    Got the 'bol' part of spag bol bubbling away on the hob, just finishing my cuppa then gonna do stuff! I've got an hour till littley comes in so that's my finish time, so, a 60 min challenge for me!

    Brew finished! on your marks......... GO!

    Yeah finished cleaning DS2 room, bed made all done.

    DS1 hoovered and stripped bed - he can make it up - big enough so just wet wiping to do in that room.

    Time for a school dash I think.

    The only reason I've got my cards is because I bought them half price after last Christmas. Tight, me? :D

    Before I start a thread have any of your kids had the spiderman web blaster toy and if yes does it work? Does it make a mess? How long do the canister things last? DS3 wants one - he hasn't asked for hardly anthing so I don't mind but want to know it works.

    HA, tell him it's AN OUTSIDE TOY. It's basically silly string. But you can also use it as a water gun and it makes 'web blasting noises' for in the house. You get a cool glove too (so says DS1, who was lucky to get two for his birthday so him and his friend can have fights).

    No idea how much the refills are, but I think it may be 2 for £3 or something...

    DS1 loves it and DS2 plays with it too, though it's too big for his wrist.

    Now, I must be mad, I just paid £9 for letters from santa for the kids... They had better be good!

    Spag bol for tea I think. And freezer too.

    I've had a few problems getting on here, but I've kept up! I skimped a bit yesterday, as I was shopping in the morning, and went to the hospital in the afternoon, so didn't have much time. Worked this morning, and did the cloakroom and bathroom this afternoon, rather than just curling up with my knitting or a book! On Sunday I shall get rid of a big box of stuff from the bedroom, as I'm leaving a committee then and can hand over all the paperwork - looking forward to that!
