    Good morning :santa2:

    Today I need to make a start on getting Christmas stuff sorted and wrapped - I cannot believe there are so few days left and I haven't got my act together.

    Merry Christmas :snow_laug

    Morning :wave:

    I've just realised I haven't placed my Amazon order for my last few Xmas presents yet! :eek:

    And I haven't written a list of things I need to buy to make my Xmas meal - better get started on that today I think.

    I also need to chase up Toys R US because we bought a buggy from them that had a free accessory pack, but they didn't have one in stock - they said they would ring us when it came in (which would only be a few days). Four weeks later and despite numerous phone calls, I still haven't got it!

    Wonder if I can get something thrown in for free for all the hassle?!

    Merry Xmas to all & Sea, I hope your little one feels better soon.

    :) Thanks snaggles - do push for something for the hassle :) DS has an ear infection, so goes from absolutely fine to crying and holding his ear shouting ouch a lot. Bless.

    I-A, that cat is gorgeous!

    Mrsspendalot, will we get to see a photo of you in your silly hat & long coat then?

    Sea, I had an ear infection last year - now I understand why kids get so bothered about them, it was agony. Calpol & hugs....

    Hmmmm ..... ok ;) I don't have my ceremony until April though ..... oh and OU graduates don't wear the hat, just the gown. I might borrow a hat for the photo though, apparently plenty do :)
