Morning all, it is so cold.

LJD I love the placebo effect, hope he is ok this morning.

AnW'sMum that is fab news about W DS3 jumps and runs a length of the pool - I t hink he can swim but it is much more important to get to the other side first, ahead of your class than to swim.

Going to do a list for the day in a minute. I was going to go to town first thing but don't fancy deicing the car so will go after lunch.

We put our tree up yesterday, its so pretty and the house now smells all christmassy:T DD and DH decorated it while i made dinner, so a little adjustment was required;)

Morning :wave:

I'm full of cold! my head and my chest are all bunged up so not sure what I'm gonna get done today, will potter about but I definately need to do the kitchen, some washing, some drying. It's so cold here and frosty brrrrrr I don't really want to go in the kitchen lol.

Littleys got her school Christmas Party today, but there's been no mention of a carol concert or nativity or anything maybe they'll do a special assembly or something I dunno. Glad everyone's littleys are enjoying theirs though and Julie two in one day! wow!

My hoover still doesn't work - which is a pain as I love my hoover and I use it everyday, got no funds for a new one so I'll have to make do with a sweeping brush and running (not literally) round to borrow OH's now and again.

List:-
empty DW
reload DW
WM x 1
TD x 3 (2 loads off yesterday to dry)

My minds gone blank......lol

hope all are ok and big hugs to those who need them

Well.. I've done fluff all all week.. and today I won't be doing much either.. I can barely walk.. my legs are killling me.. and I haven't got any ibuprofen left.. I must have eaten them all.. and paracetamol doesn't touch the pain.. and don't even mention the GP.. I begrudge the £7 for a prescription so wouldn't get anything if I did by some miracle manage an appointment.. they are like rocking horse poop!! I'll go get some pink pills later I didn't realise there were none left.

DS3 has broken the pram DD3 got for christmas last year.. sitting his big fat @rse in it!.. I'll salvage the wheels off it and buy her a new one the same and have 'spares' or is that silly?? I'll bung the pram outside and the local scrotes will rescue the aluminium off it and have it weighed in for drug money and I'll have next to nothing in the bin lol.. I am really miffed about it though! Tiddles loved that pram.. they broke her little pram last week.. actually.. my mother can buy her a new one for christmas.. there's an idea!! Added to the list. They need a new play tunnel as well... added...

Today I MUST do..

[strike]WM[/strike] x2
[strike]TD[/strike] x1.. and some hung out!
[STRIKE]DW[/STRIKE]
BM
SC
fold and put away laundry
[strike]tesco delivery 11-1[/strike].. rescheduled from last night.. I had booked delivery for 8-10pm.. and going out at 7pm!!!! lol.. that would have entertained my sister! I have my christmas order coming next Thursday which is £150.
Sort remaining christmas bits to buy.. I could possibly nip to the music shop and buy some of them tomorrow morning..

I've given up on the lists for now.. but I will sort the entire house before christmas.. if I have to make everyone work for 3 days before hand!

One more week of school so that should be fun!!

Lil_me.. I bet OH is just terrified you would be hankering after a number 3.. lol.. bless him.. good to hear Matthew is doing well though.. my youngest boy was only 10lb at 6 months due to being ill.. he was only 3lb 10 at birth though so had put on a fair but.. but was still starved looking.. he had reflux and lactose intolerance.

We had DD2 and DS3's play yesterday at school.. DS3 was a wise man but hadn't even told us!!!!! He is a funny child! DD2 said more words in her play than she has said all week.. she simply doesn't talk unless she has something to say... usually sarcastic or just mean.

Tomorrow afternoon DD's 3 and 4 are in the nativity.. I love the nativity.. it is really cute!

ooh...ooh...ooh... I didn't tell you... DD5 was due to start nursery on the 14th January for the 2 hour afternoon session.. WELL.. because she is a grown up 3 year old they have said she can go to the 3 hour morning session instead and start on the 8th instead.... !!!!!!!!!!! She is REALLY pleased.. That is so much better for us as she still sleeps most afternoons so will still get her snooze.

Cuppa anyone?? Before my tesco man arrives with food!
