:j Woo Hoo I won a tin of sweets.:j

I never win anything so was very shocked, DD picked my name out of a hat :rotfl: , i bet i went purple:rotfl:

Got home after getting another pressie sorted and me and DS2 fell asleep for 2 and a half hours opppps. So plan now is to get everyone fed and away to bed, get all santa stuff down and see what batteries are needed as i'm going shopping tomorrow to get rest of crimbo stuff. Pleanty of flying to be done here once little ones are in bed.

We are back from Nannies, A & W are in bed. Managed to swap the train light at Argos on the way home. Got them to check it is working before we left so tomorrow I shall be putting it up while A & W are at school.

Going to watch Enders now and then may do some more wrapping, really need to crack on with this now.

I'm full of admiration for you all working through your huge task lists in the run up to the 25th. I haven't posted for a while nor done any daily flying -
I did do a Friday night blitz though last week. Tonight is the only night this week that I'm at home for any lenghth of time so I can't join in this week either but I thought I'd pop in and say hi and wish you all luck with the busiest week of the year for some!

I'll be flying on Saturday but as I've only got the 25th and 26th off work (how mean are my work?!) and I'm going to my folks' those 2 days its only for my benefit. On the positive side all presents are wrapped, secret santa is in the brantub, I'm not sending anymore cards even though I've forgotten a few already, fancy dress outfit is sorted, big party is out of the way, all Loyalty Cards are empty again, the 1p and 2p jar is cashed in ( I frivously spent most of it on a set of false eyelashes hee hee) and I've only eaten and replaced 4 chocolate oranges in 10 days. Phew..
Love you and leave you, have a splendid week and hope there's some fun to be had along the way!

Evening, just got back, 32 kids had great fun, ate loads and ran around like idiots, I call that a success

I've done a bit since I came back 20 minutes ago, boys are washed, teeth done and in bed (but DS2 has been down 5 times now), washer load in, dishwasher emptied and started refilling. I think that will do for tonight as my ear feels like it's going to explode, need to find some codeine as it's the only painkiller I have left I can take as I have taken my allowance of all the rest. I'll finish the kitchen list tomorrow when I do the rest as apart from school runs, dog walks etc I don't need to go anywhere, yet,....just hope DS2s bus actually turns up tomorrow as had to take him myself today....roll on January when the transport changes.

12 baubles on the floor, darn dogs, tinsel half falling off aswell, looks like I'll be redoing the tree again....DPs Mam has managed to get a DS lite for my nephew so that's all the kids happy now

Oh serena you are right, hence we now try to have to visit other people, not because it's easier as it means us travelling, just sick of feeling judged, my Mother can be the worst but she's one of the most untidy people I know.
